Too much Condi is no good for you

Was interesting to see reaction last night on Bill Maher's HBO show when he raised question of Condi testing the waters for a VP run, perhaps to "blacken up" the ticket. Richard Clarke said she had been horrid and our hero, Dana Priest, usually publicly restrained in such matters, seemed to agree with him that she may have been one of the worst secretaries of State ever (quite a distinction) -- and also the worst National Security adviser, a double dishonor.

If I ever have the time, I will dig up media coverage of the Bush "dream team" from 2001, hailing the utter skill and competence of Rummy, Condi and all the rest, based on nothing -- they were all blatant mediocrities. Of course, we are seeing the same thing today in regard to John McCain and his "foreign policy" credentials. Here is my new post on this at Huff Post:
