O'Reilly: The truth of the matter is our correspondents at Fox News can't go out for a cup of coffee in Baghdad...

Rice: Bill, that's tough. It's tough. But what — would they have wanted to have gone out for a cup of coffee when Saddam Hussein was in power?
Maybe when they're unable to go shoe shopping, she'll truly become concerned.

Now More Than Ever it is time to outsource ThatIraqiThingiePoo to India.

I was just thinking the other day about how much Michael Chertoff reminds me of what Condi Rice would be like with a beard.

As I developed the analogy. I gradually came to the conclusion that the difference between having an insufferable, incompetent dweeb as Secretary of State and having one as Secretary of Homeland Security is that in the former case, it's innocent people in other countries who die.
