Hooray for VIDEO FRIDAY, yes? Now you will watch this video. Condi Rice teaches at Stanford again and recently attended this Dorm Reception to meet the rich liberal bastards, who decided to harass her, about torture. We encourage you to watch the whole clip, because she gets progressively snippier as it goes on. “Sorry, you’re wrong,” she tells this little douche, who suggests that the Nazis were a bigger threat than Al Qaeda and she’s like, “Uhh you’re retarded.” Finally she just says “Do your homework.” Also she does not think that waterboarding is torture, so that is kind of the “fundamental issue” here. [SFist]
Do you think she talked to the Russians like that, and that’s why they hate us? Man, she’s whiny, condescending and lame — all at once.
Yeaaah, you know what? Fuck you, Condi, you’re a war criminal.
No bitch as smart as her is this stupid. Why don’t you really impress us all Condi with that Party trick you learned where you spit cum between your teeth for distance.
Wow. I had almost forgotten how much I hate this woman.
I’d hit it. With a Dutch car. On a more serious note, can we have war crimes trials now, please? I made it a minute into the video before I went into a faux-Tourettes fit listening to her bullshit.
Damn, too much seriousness. Trucknutz and buttsecks with mules, also.
I like how she’s basically resorted to the Nixon defense.
Custerwolf:…with that Party trick you learned where you spit cum between your teeth for distance while people bounced quarters off your ass.
Condi tells the dude to do his homework and then ducks under the “what we were told” excuse. Good ol’ Professor “it’s okay to be behind in their grading but won’t accept late work from my students”" Rice.
That there’s what you call hypocrisy, y’all.
Let her be trampled by a blessing of unicorns.
RabidHamster: Okay, maybe not war crimes trials, because of the cloak of secrecy the Bushmen threw over all their evil deeds. We need a Truth and Reconciliation Commission, such as they had in South Africa, which worked like this: you’re going to get punished for your crimes, but if you tell all and confess and exhibit even a shred of remorse, you might get leniency. Whereas if you just deny our try to tough it out, you get the full weight of the law.
And when we look at South Africa today, we see how well that’s worked out for them.
But still, I want Dog the Bounty Hunter dragging Condi out of her Palo Alto spider-hole, and then talking all nice to her before turning her over to Commission, who’s chairman will be….George Mitchell?
So Condi loves NAZIs? Where’s that leftist MSM smear machine when you need it?
V572625694: Too much italics, sorry…
I would like to publicly apologize to Thandie Newton, apparently her portrayal of Condi in ‘W.’ was not over-the-top after all.
Did you know the American Chickenwire association fully approved of our uses of chickenwire to house detainees? No? Then until you do your homework, son, you have absolutely no basis for saying anything. QED.
She says they only did what was legal but torture is illegal. And then she comes up with some ersatz humane prisoner treatment group that no one ever heard of. After it was over, I’m sure that kid thought of all the things he could have said, like “but I’ve heard of the Red Cross, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.” Gotta’ give it up to the little smarty pants, he stayed in there. Nice to know Condi isn’t going to be able to got out in public except in disguise. (Like wearing her hair in a style actually flattering to a black woman).
“I just signed paper okayed by the administration. No idea what it meant”–so is she ready to throw Dick under the bus and toss her wittle baby Bush after him? Oh, please, please, pretty please with sugar on it, can we please have hearings so we can watch these people turn on each other? My dream is that it ends with all of them, even Junior, pointing at Cheney. Because we all know he’s the biggest asswipe in the US of A.
And, yeah, who gives a shit about the nazis? They were only pillaging and terrorizing Europe.
Oh, mother of god, I’m going to go gaze at all the shit the O’bama campaign sent me during the election–the pictures and shit– just stare and cry in rapt joy. Hell, I may send David Plouffe some money, just for old times sake.
I suppose we should all just be grateful that Condi will never be in charge of the Dept. of Health and Social Services.

SayItWithWookies: Ha! And the American Water Works Association is pro-waterboarding!
Wait - Saudi Arabia is where “al-Qaeda is from”? Good point…most of the attackers were Saudis, none were Iraqis, much of their funding can be traced directly back to the Saudi family, none to the Baathists. And Churchill didn’t torture Germans because they never attacked the USA…doesn’t she mean the UK? Oh wait. And did Iraqis attack the USA?
*sigh* It’s hard to be witty about this BS
A black woman with sleeves? FOR SHAME!
Stanford? Really? Are people from the Bush posse under the illusion that they would be welcome and accepted at any purported institution of higher learning that doesn’t feature the words “Bible College” or “Liberty” in it’s name?
Methinks the lady doth protest too much
wish she would make me stay after school,is all.
Is it the camera angle, or does Condi has some big-ass hands?
Min: No, everything else just shrinks in her presence.
What was she thinking of by even attending this event? She must have drunk Dick Cheney’s kool aid and thought she would be greeted as Stanford’s liberator
Anonymous Office Zombie: Stanford is where she was incubating before W plucked her to be his Mommy/Tutor on “national security” issues. That didn’t include warning him about Bin Laden, of course. I don’t think Palo Alto is going to be real happy to have her back after the past eight years.
She didn’t approve anything, she just transmitted her secret crush’s approval to the agencies.
What a weird, technical way to talk about torturing people.
Someone should punch her in the nose and then say, I didn’t PUNCH you, my brain merely transmitted some electrical impulses to my hand.
And then punch her again.
I’m not exactly a lawyer, by which I mean I’m not at all a lawyer, but I do have pretty firm grasp of the English language and the critical thinking skills to recognize circular logic such as “I don’t do anything illegal so if I do something it is by definition not illegal.”
So tell me, how come this cunt can’t see the fault in that? She must have really flunked her fucking LSAT. Also.
“Unless you were there….”
I love how everybody stops talking around 1:72 and just listens to her frantic, self-serving post-hoc justifications.
Why did Stanford rush to give her back her job, I will never know as she was just pwnd by an undergraduate in Robles. Please arrest this bitch and start the war tribunals.
Min: Is it me, or is Condi the ugliest fucking woman you’ve ever seen in your entire fucking life?
There’s no way I could possibly listen to that much video of her, unless they were actively waterboarding her at the time.
See, y’all, we are not in a position to judge her because we didn’t have the weight of the world on our shoulders. So just shut up everyone.
19kevin8: Well, I’m no fan of Condi, but in my lurking on Red State (yes, I do that from time to time just to keep a tab on what the lil’ tards are up to) they were bitching about Michelle’s fancy shoes and they used the following photo.
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff200/baseball_crank/Blog/MichelleO.jpg
It seems that they have learned our top secret technique of using unappealing photos of those we dislike. Pretty soon, they might learn to mate outside of their family tree (but don’t hold your breath).
with all due respect, she’s a stupid cunty bitch.
In a dorm room arguing with a bratty tard, Condi’s term in hell has begun.
I’m sure Cheney was on the phone with her 2 seconds later saying “look, you gap-toothed bitch, don’t do that again. If you want camera time, do what I do - invite Hannity to your house.”
DC Hates Me: WIN! Just think–she’ll carry that taint for the rest of her life.
Leave Condi alone. She was busy buying shoes when all the torture memos were hashed out.
If we were going to invade every country with an evil leader in the early 21st century, we would have had to invade our own country. Rice is hoist on her own petard (which some linguists believe originally meant “lifted up by one’s own fart”). What more appropriate place than a private university for such hypocritical discourse?
Anonymous Office Zombie: Condi was a Provost at Stanford (dunno how) so she’s like a legacy or something. The Hoover Institute is also there and it’s a home for NeoCons too stupid to get a gig on Fox or the Washington Post.
I can’t wait to see her try this argument in court. She’s young enough that she might actually live to see a war crimes tribunal, so …
Slimy bitch.
19kevin8: It’s not you.
You know, maybe I’m losing my edge, but it makes me truly sad to see this woman who I’m sure at one point in her career was quite smart & well-respected turn into this crazy-talking torture apologist. I agree with whomever (too lazy to scroll up) that it is just mind boggling that anyone would invoke the Nixon defense and think that that’s a reasonable justification for whatever crazy shit they’re involved in. I feel like we’re seeing the intellectual version of that “Faces of Meth” thing.
Rice ‘n Beans. She can go back the the little love nest she owns with her BFF.
Gad Condi, you are insipid.
Like the Saudis MADE you secretly rendition people.
Can’t watch it becuz I know the whole time all she’s thinking about in her head is her next trip to Fendi.
PomPom: Condi got a Masters Degree in Sucking Up so it’s actually not that much of a surprise.
Also, non-snarkily, can I just mention that anyone horrified by this really ought to pick up the phone and call a Congressperson? It takes a couple minutes to express your disgust and ask where your senator or rep stands on torture prosecutions.
Right now, people like Condi are winning the argument. They’re doing most of the talking.
Condescending Rice - former Secretary of Hate
Tra: Offer void in districts represented by retards and/or batshit insane people.
FMA: In other words, offer void.
Tra: As a former intern for a US Senator, I will tell you that calling your congressperson in small, staggered numbers will do nothing. Some unpaid intern will add another tick on a tally sheet and maybe report to the person in charge of the office once a week. HOWEVER, if you organize with moveon.org and encourage your members to call, e-mail and fax all day, every day for several weeks, your voice will be heard (the summer I interned, cutting PBS funding was being discussed. Some interested constituents called in and my senator had no statement on the issue. Then, Moveon.org got involved and for 2 solid weeks, people from all across the state called in and read from a script. Eventually, my Senator issued a statement and the calls stopped). Organize. Community Organize. Also. Such as.
“Nazi Germany never attacked the homeland of the United States.”
That’s correct Madam Secretary, but the Nazis were intent on, you know, over running all of Europe, killing millions of Jews, invading the UK, developing ICBMs, nuclear weaponry, and defeating the United States. We didn’t torture Nazi POWs. Oh and by the way, the Empire of Japan DID attack Pearl Harbor, which was then a U.S. administered territory (does that count?), killing 2400. We didn’t torture the Japanese either…although we did execute certain members of the Japanese military because they waterboarded U.S. POWs.
IMO she just oozed defensiveness in that video. She was probably wondering whether people were going to call her a torturer for the rest of her life….Hope so!
Hell, I’m GLAD I went to a second rate public university in TX —
at least I’m SUPPOSED to sound like a second rate mind.
I know women who act angry at everyone when the love of their lives leaves them too.
I would ask her, “you did all this evil stuff to help George Bush, and he STILL never fucked you?”
OReillysVibrator: Or freed you.
I think it’s torture just to look at her gap-toothed ugliness, but that’s just me.
Dindc: I don’t think it’s just you.
Bush & Condi;
Two birds of a feather.
Stick to the story, Condi; it’s a meal ticket for life. That meal may be at the Gwinn County Free Militia pot-luck, or a spanish prison but you’ll get used to it. Always a chance Sarah may want to go shoe shopping with the state Amex card.
Who is she to tell people to do their homework? Of course anyone whose freaking job it was for 8 years to know this stuff in great deal and basically ran how it all worked can lord their knowledge of it (and the talking points associated with it) over your run of the mill college student, it was your job!! Does that give you the right anytime anyone challenges you on it to just pull out all these details and shove it in their face that they don’t know them to make YOU look smart? Since when does the Secretary of State need to show up a college student and wag your ‘oh no you didunt!’ finger at them like that? Just because you can rattle off facts which may or may not be out of context makes you look smarter doesn’t make you right. It’s classless.
Maybe if she had done her homework she wouldn’t have been party to one of the biggest failures of an administrations ever.
PomPom: Amen.
There is so much FAIL in that video that I am now officially too pissed off to snark. “How dare you second-guess us for making these decisions when we were all shitting our pants after 9/11″ is going to be your defense? Really? Piss Christ in a jelly jar, woman!
Well, she didn’t like being second-guessed by Congress for why she and W didn’t react to the “Bin Laden Determined To Strike in the United States” memo either. I’d tone down that defensive tone, Condi. It will not look good when you’re sitting in the dock.
Can you believe that evil Supreme Court prevented us from setting up a brand-new trial system to try these obviously guilty terrorists outside of the system we’ve already had in place for 200 years? Those stinking liber–what? The Court is stocked with Republican nominees? Never mind then.
Wow. Loathesome.
Am I the only one here who laughed at the sad look on the baby nerd’s face when he was totally bent over and fucked by Condi? I totally disagree with this woman’s actions but holy shit they kid was raped. If you want to take on an evil genius you should probably have some REAL verbal ammo instead of what this stammering brat came with.
tallulah: You make valed points, but I must ask you - how you are able to use a keyboard while being rammed in the ass from behind?
Custerwolf: why that’s not how you spell “valid” at all.
tallulah: Oh - and yeah, you WERE the only one who laughed at that. The rest of us were busy having lives.
she’s shaking her head “no” while shes saying do the right thing… lying slut.
Also, she is not so much speaking facts: http://2politicaljunkies.blogspot.com/2009/04/condoleezza-rice-no-torture.html
If this is what her life is like now that paid goons are no longer around to insure nobody comes within arm’s reach of her, imagine what it’s gonna be like for Dubya in a year or two. Ouch.
I can’t believe I watched the whole thing. . . . but I love her circles–doing figure skating I bet she excelled in the “school figures.” The President declared that anything we did wasn’t torture, therefore we did not torture, and you need to do your homework. Actually, Condi, you need to do your homework. Nazi submarines were within US territorial waters torpedoing US merchant ships–o wait, you said homeLAND! you didn’t really tell a lie to win an argument against an undergrad!
Her voice starts to break and she becomes more agitated when she mentions “indefinite detention”. Projection, premonition, or is her lizard brain finally evolving to the point where she can grasp just a glimmer of “could that really happen to me?” Oh, and I so hope it does, also, too.
two things: (1) saudia arabia is where al qaeda started? whoa, someone really shoulda told that to the connecticut bushes before they adopted bandar and started taking it anally from the saudi royals. (2) condi just perfectly summarized the circular argument of all these future international war crimes defendants: we were told (by the president) that nothing we did would violate our obligations under the convention against torture. there ya go, sheeple, nothing to see here. president says its legal, then its legal. stfu. move along. go to bed.
Custerwolf:
lmao. you replied to me 3 times.
really??
tallulah: Does this mean we’re now going steady?
(because if so, you’re going to have to find funnier things to laugh at, srsly)
Uhhh still isn’t getting laid, is she? SOMEONE PUT THIS WOMAN ON MATCH.COM
Custerwolf: pics, pls
tallulah: Hey I already showed one of my tits. (Don’t worry - even if you’d been here it would have been easy to miss.)
al queda is really more of a threat than the nazis were? this is insulting to every student or even casual observer of history. the nazi’s systematically killed over 6 million jews (among the other groups which were deemed to be less-than-desirable by Hitler), had taken over most of Europe by 1943 and were bent on world domination based on a violent dictatorship. there was a very real chance during WW II that Germany could have destabilized the political/economic system of the entire world and expanded their death camps across Asia.
but i suppose because those 6 million jews weren’t “american”, condi doesn’t believe they equal a number greater than the 3000 americans who were killed. and because the attack happened on our precious homeland soil, 9/11 was the greatest tragedy to befall man since the history of time. fear-mongering used to justify bad foreign policy and the erosion of our ideals.
her arguments are flimsy and circular. i’m so glad she and BU$Hcorp are out of power.
EAT. AN. AIR. FORCE. ONE. FULL. OF. D*CKS. CONDI.
Carrie_Okie: It’s ok, on Wonkette you can say dicks. dicks dicks dicks dicks dicks cock boobies dicks. see? it’s fun.
