In Bob Woodward's new book, Condoleezza Rice hastens to remind us just how blind and stupid they have been, no doubt to make sure that no one in his or her right mind could possibly pull that "Republican" lever in the voting booth ever again.

There has been an amazing confluence of events, and If McCain survives the last 24 hours, I'm not sure what it will take to stop him.

Rice's field of expertise is the Soviet Union. Ask anyone at the Hoover Institute. She's written books on the Soviets, a dissertation even! She speaks Russian. She has impeccable credentials -- for a top slot in the Ford administration.
