Corn, Rice

David Corn has eighteen questions for Condi Rice.  Actually many of his questions contain multiple questions, so really, there are 58 questions in all.  (Take it easy, David!  We don’t want to scare her off!)

But before we go any further with this Rice thing, what’s all this liberal-media lying about an alleged “flip-flop” on the part of the Administration?  Condi Rice never said she wouldn’t testify to the 9/11 commission.  There has been no stonewalling, no Clintonian dissembling here.  On the contrary, Rice has done everything in her power to cooperate-- why, just this past Sunday, she said, “Nothing would be better, from my point of view, than to be able to testify.  I would really like to do that.” [Real quote!  Not made up!] And why wouldn’t she?  The record clearly shows that for Rice, as for Bush, fighting al-Qaeda was Job One from the moment Bush took office on January 20, 2001-- especially given the bombing of the U.S.S. Cole the previous October-- and remained Job One all through the post-9/11 investigation of Saddam’s role in the attacks.  Let the Democrats spin their disgruntled-bureaucrat conspiracy theories.  Condoleeza Rice has nothing to hide.

--Now, who’ll give me odds that one of the Administration’s media lackeys writes something like this in the next two weeks?  Remember, I get extra points if I predict any specific sentence word-for-word, and special blogger props if any Townhall columnist cribs the entire thing.
