When they say she spoke with "clarity", it means that her position is clearly ridiculous, when they say "conviction" it means that no one believes a word of it, and "courageous" means, given what she was going to say, she had a lot of nerve to show up in the first place. |

With many public speakers, this could be construed as "thinking." With Rice, it sounds like she's thinking up a lie. I don't trust her as far as I could throw her. SRS |

11 Feb 05 - 08:54 PM (#1406662) Subject: RE: BS: Condi wows the French! From: Chris Green Well, be fair. All they've had from the Anglo-Saxon world for a while is Bush and Blair. Someone vaguely articulate, if a tad to the right of Attila the Hun, must have come as a welcome change. Actually, having just read that back, I've just described Charles de Gaulle. And Condi. And Powell. And Blair. But not Bush. It's the vaguely articulate bit... |
