Asking the impossible

Increasingly irrelevant US Secretary of State Conoco-leezza Rice is preparing for next week's Iraq security meeting by "lowering expectations". Well guess what lady. You are part of the Bush administration. The rest of the world, along with most of your own country, has no expectations whatsoever that you or any of the Decider's minions are capable of doing anything in the least valuable, practical, sensible or helpful. Got it?

Oh and by the way this guy, a close aide of your boss's buddy John Howard, thinks that you are unfit for a leadership role because you are "deliberately barren" and your refusal to turn over your womb for use as a fertile land in which to breed Young Republicans (or Liberals as they are confusingly known in Australia)!
