I watched some of Now with Bill Moyers earlier. I’ve always thought he was good — enjoyed his interviews with Joseph Campbell — but darned if he hasn’t really found a nitch with this show. He took on the record of Condoleza Rice and her unbelievable rise to nominee for Secretary of State, and didn’t pull a punch.
An excerpt from PBS site:
“This week, President Bush tapped Condoleezza Rice to replace Colin Powell as Secretary of State, the nation’s highest cabinet post. Her performance as National Security Advisor has raised questions about her credibility and competence. Critics point to her mismanagement of crucial intelligence leading up to 9/11 and say she misled the American people about the reasons for going to war in Iraq. NOW takes a hard look at the track record of Condoleezza Rice as she prepares to become America’s top diplomat.”
Rice is lucky she didn’t work for me in Washington. She would have been back in California, looking for work, long ago. Of course, America is lucky I’m not president. I’m not qualified. But then neither is George W. Bush, so I don’t feel bad.
