Rice replaces Powell..frying pan into the fire

Bush announced today that he is naming National Security Advisor Condoleeza Rice to replace outgoing Secretary of State Colin Powell.

This would be the same Condoleeza Rice that ignored warnings about Al Qaida during the transition from the Clinton Administration and during the months leading up to the 9/11 attacks. This is also the same Condoleeza Rice that filibustered the 9/11 Commisssion in an effort not to answer questions. And this is the same Condoleeza Rice that didn't know for MONTHS about the stashes of missing weapons in Iraq..because someone in her chain of command didn't bother to mention it.

Loyalty trumps competence with this crowd every time.

It's also worth noting that the most incompetent member of Team Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, is staying put.
