Colin Out, Condi In

Bush replaces one black Secretary of State with a black female Secretary of State and there's nary a mention of it in the Elite media. All we get is widespread sorrow and consternation at the departure of Colin Powell.

What we should be hearing is national adulation and high praise for Bush, a man who is oblivious to race. He just continues to surround himself with high quality, highly qualified people.

I sincerly hope that African Americans are paying attention to the treatment Dr. Rice is receiving. Her nomination is HISTORIC and it should be reported as such.

What about all those Liberals who are constantly advancing the affirmation action, the racial quotas, the preferences? Where are they today? Why aren't they jumping up and congratulating Dr. Rice, a self made African American woman? Why aren't they celebrating the fact that a black woman will now be the face of America around the world?

If Condi were a Democrat, today would have been declared a national holiday by the press. We would have been deluged with headlines like 'THE BARRIER HAS BEEN BROKEN,' or 'FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN SEC. OF STATE.'

Instead the headline is the much less excited 'Rice To State,' and the commentary is focused on the perceived 'danger' of installing a 'Bushie' in command of the infamously Left-leaning State Department bureaucracy.
