Condoleezza Rice Smacks Down Katie Courics Insulting, Ignorant Depiction of Iraq War

Condoleezza Rice Corrects Katie Couric on Her Far Left Iraq War Revisionism (Video)
This was an excellent exchange. Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice discussed the Iraq War recently with Far Left CBS nightly news host Katie Couric during an “HBO History Makers Series” interview. Rice stopped Couric dead in her tracks when she started spewing her Far Left revisionism on the Iraq War. As usual, Rice was just brilliant. KATIE COURIC: On Iraq, books have been written, as you know, many, many books; documentaries have been made about how intelligence was incorr...

Condoleeza Rice Destroys Katie Couric on the Removal of Saddam Hussein in Iraq Video
Here is a great video of former Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice destroying CBS News’ Anchor Katie Couric’s attempts to cast dispersions on the Bush Administration’s decision to go to war against Iraq to take out Saddam Hussein. Couric tried the typical liberal approach of projecting backward from what we found out after war to the decision on whether we should go to war. Rice would not let her get away with the assertion that there was real doubt as to whether Saddam Husse...

VIDEO CHALLENGE: Turn this Condoleezza Rice interview smackdown on Katie Couric into a YouTube mashup video
The Blaze has a great video of Condoleeza Rice giving a smackdown to Katie Couric, which makes “the perky one” look the fool. Dr. Rice is rockstar awesome in this, and at one point in it Couric just starts making animal noises  because she doesn’t know what to say.  ”We can edit this out, right?”, she whispers off camera. The video won’t embed here, but you can watch it above. When I saw it, the first thing I thought of was this mashup of Cybil Sheph...

Spain as 51st state
The Wikileaks release of some (not all!) of the diplomatic cables in its possession has generated an unprecedented response. Glenn Greenwald did an excellent roundup of the different ways both public and private entities are putting the squeeze on its founder Julian Assange. This is somewhat noteworthy considering Wikileaks has previously released sensitive US government data. The uncharitable interpretation would be that the issue of potential War Crimes committed against ordinary Iraqis is not...

8 Squirmy, Wormy, Outright Socialists Linked to Obama, Our Radical-in-Chief (and this is just the beginning)
The cult classic film “Blue Velvet” focused on the seedy goings-on under the surface of American suburbia. To illustrate this, a disturbing opening scene depicted an All-American house with flowers growing next to the ubiquitous picket fence… and then the camera dropped down under the flowers, into the grass, then below the grass, to show the swarming insects and worms under the surface. This creepy scene brings to mind a whole network of seedy insects and worms that the mainstream media
