Condoleezza Rice in an advertisement on MSNBC tonight, on the Rachel Maddow show -- starting about

last 15 minutes, after the interview with the Trump employee.

I reacted in a very, very negative fashion. This was an ad for KMPG (or something like that), and Ms. mass-murderer Rice said that the group she was working with helped people -- or something like that.

If people placing ads on MSNBC think that Ms. mass-murderer Rice is a positive draw, then maybe it's time for me to never watch that channel again -- or maybe never watch that show.

Any thots?

Something about supporting women. They are so clueless and Republican (and white and male) that they think Condi will appeal to women. Interesting that nothing has changed in 10 years.

It is the area demographic they are aiming at.

so far as I am concerned. But then it's Faux and they'll say anything.

I believe that Rice is at least intelligent enough to realize that it would not be a good idea.

more interested in pushing golf than national policy these days anyway. I mean, even though Fox is pushing a black female Republican's name now and then for Trump's VP, consider the audience. Another black president? Not hardly.
