She's in the news again, dismissing the Jan 6 investigation.
How does history view her, in your mind?

(113,237 posts)First for her total disregard when asked about the 1963 Birmingham church bombings that killed those four little black girls during her youth in Alabama and following throughout her career and total disregard for the truth, her total incompetence, and her resultant harm to others.

(5,436 posts)The Hoover Institute of Stanford U. Colin Powell got the covid from someone. Someone, immediately or a few infections removed, whose views were undoubtedly influenced by Rice's center.

One more blot.
How does she have the audacity to speak publicly now?

(11,680 posts)"We have other concerns. Let's move on, move ahead" etc. She managed to get in a shade shot at Joe Biden when Whoopi was praising President Biden: "Joe is at work. Joe is doing what he's supposed to do." To which CR replied, "Well, I'm not going there."
CR won't appear on my Hero List.

(12,517 posts)9/11. Only logical conclusion. Incompetent, negligent or complicit. She was National Security Advisor and LET IT HAPPEN!

(45,820 posts)During the 9/11 commission hearings, I was getting a lot of dental work done - mostly crowns. I was in the dentist chair one day for several hours - this was one of the places that made the crowns there. The treatment cubicle had the TV on the hearings and Rice was the witness.
Honestly, she sounded like a petulant Valley Girl. "That wasn't my job," and "I'm not responsible for..." was said over and over again. Her voice dripped with disdain. Nothing, apparently, was her job.
I don't recall her taking responsibility or offering even a shred of sympathy during the entire hearing.
Prior to that, I had admired her to at least some extent, as a woman who had succeeded in a man's world. Never again.

(3,139 posts)I think she might be the only women member.
I read why she changed parties on her wiki page and it just proves to me she is dumb as a box of rocks....
Nobody should mention her name with out W and the massive failures of 9/11, Iraq and Afghanistan.
As far as I'm concerned she and W and Darth should be writing condolence letters to the families of all the families of people they killed in wars that didn't ever need to happen.

She should be serving a lifetime prison, along with Cheney, Rumsfeld, Bush et al for TREASON and Corruption.
