"Before Condi Rice was born, I was a rational being, alive, thinking, feeling, and pursuing positive values."
"Even before Condi Rice was conceived, I was alive. She was not yet a single-celled organism. She was not yet a fertilized egg. She was not yet an embryo. Yet, I was a multicellular organism with a brain and a mind and I was destined for the Ivy Leagues."
"On the other hand, to say that blood is thicker than water is to chatter like a bird. Water is the official handshake that indicates a promise, a guarantee, an obligation, and a voluntary contract. Blood indicates bad luck or good luck--whatever kinds of relatives may have been provided by blind chance or cruel fate."
"So Condi Rice has one defect: her relative youth and inexperience. However, a living legend named Ronald Reagan does not suffer from the defect of relative youth and inexperience. He said so. He told Walter Mondale."
"This so-called defect that Condi has is no defect whatsoever. If you think it is a defect, then perhaps you would like Ronald Reagan, in his current state of mind, to take control of the executive branch of the US government."
