The Truth

BY: DR. FOREST LEWIS

Unless there is an intervention from on high, Secretary of State Condi Rice will not be on John McCain's ticket as his Vice-President!

Prior to the start of the Republican and Democrat presidential sweepstakes, there were some political pundits pushing Rice to get into the race. Rice who appears to be self-effacing, declined and worked hard at being our Secretary of State. Lord knows John McCain will need someone with both appeal and clout to woo the Conservative wing of the Republican party into his corner. But Rice let it be known today that she isn't interested.

Instead, Ms. Rice said that she would return to Standford University, where she was at one time the University's provost and also a professor. Speaking to reporters following her recent trip to Africa, this is what the Secretary of State had to say:

"I have always said that the one thing that I have not seen myself doing is running for elected office in the United States. I didn't even run for high school president. It's sort of not in my genes. I'm going to keep doing what I'm doing as Secretary of State to see if we can use the last few months, as the President has put it, to sprint to the finish because there's a lot of work to do"

And Rice told reporters, "You can all come and visit me in California." In all of my years of covering politics as a former broadcast journalists, I have seen some funny things happen.

I guess what I'm saying is, "Don't Count Condi Rice Out Yet." She appears to be the type of person who will answer the call "If Her Country Needs Her."

And boy, does her country need her now! She could do a nice job in cutting into Barack Obama's push for the African-American vote.

Hillary Clinton has been telling this whooper of a lie about having "35 Years Of Experience." No one has bothered to sit down and do the math. The woman is only sixty years old. If she has thirty five years of experience, that would mean that this "Fibber" started working as a public servant at the age of "Twenty five." I guess if you tell a lie long enough, "You Will Start To Believe It."

Condi Rice doesn't have to lie like Clinton. This woman has years of "Real Experience" as a government employee. She would be a real asset to the "Liberal Republican, John McCain."

"Opportunity" is knocking Senator!
