I know it's not shocking for this to have happened because I always secretly believed that it was going to have to happen anyway or she and the Bush administration would come under MAJOR fire from all sides (and not just Democrats). However, part of me just grins inwardly because I really thing that Condi Rice thought she could just flaunt her position, status, and title, and get away without having to publicly testify (which even if she did testify in private would create a bigger furor I think).

I was talking with a friend last night who said she thought Condi Rice was a bitch.

Part of me wants to agree with her...but part of me really just sees her as putting on a strong front when she's probably more vulnerable than she wants to admit.
