Tweety: Condi Rice Could Counter Obama’s “Ethnic Excitement”


Crooks and Liars:


Chris Matthews as been sticking his foot in his mouth (more so than usual) a lot this primary season and during MSNBC’s coverage of the State of the Union address tonight, he stepped in it again. Tweety made the suggestion that because Barack Obama has created an ethnic excitement in America, if he doesn’t get the nomination Condi Rice would make a great VP choice for a GOP candidate because black people might still be hopeful of putting an African American in higher government:
Matthews:”…And I have to think given the ethnic, you know, excitement - let’s call it American excitement about Barack Obama. If he doesn’t make it to the nomination a lot of people on the Republican side might say, well why don’t we try do something to offset that and take advantage of the hope of having an African American at a high level of government.”

I wondered what idiot would bring this out. Republicans are scared and don't know what to do with Hillary or Obama. So now the GOP will use the race card except Connie is a sale out to her race. Yes her resume looks good but she was given the jobs without any experience. We have seen she has none nothing but lie and mess things up while in the Bush Administration. She is an example of how unqualified woman sleep with the boss to get the job. That is so yesterday. Tweety is just besides himself as his love fest with Rudy, McCain and Thompson is coming to an end. Now what's left is old timer McCain who wants to bomb anybody, Mitt who will bring the Mormons to the White House or crazy Rev. Huck who knows nothing about anything except killing animals.
