Some people were surprised when I said here last year that my candidate would have been Condoleeza Rice, and had she run for President, I’d have taken time off work to campaign for her.  Quite apart from being strong on “my issues,” she had proven herself to be brilliant, super-competent, and more self-made than any other candidate from either major party.  Apparently, she was too smart to take on any more thankless tasks, and didn’t run.

Recently, a clueless lad took advantage of a question-answer session when Ms. Rice was speaking at a college campus, and tried to trickbag her with a question about government-sanctioned torture.  Watching the video on YouTube, I was struck with the kid’s pompousness…and couldn’t keep from smiling as she dissected him, handing him his butt on a verbal platter.

You could say she “waterboarded” him with his own regurgitated media Kool-Aid.

Watch, learn, and enjoy.  The clip I saw was marked “Cougar Alert,” apparently by a youngster since I’m told that “cougar” is a term today’s younger generation uses for attractive, sexy older women.  To geezers like me, of course, Dr. Rice is a younger woman.

The lad who made that posting simply got the feline species wrong.  Had the kid with the microphone who started a fight he couldn’t finish asked me for advice beforehand, I would have warned him, “Tigress Alert!” Alas for him, it’s too late now.

And I still say – “Condoleeza Rice for President in 2012!”
