Let The Oversight Begin
Who'll receive the first grilling of the new era of oversight? Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is the lucky winner, who'll be the first administration official to run the Democratic gauntlet.
On Thursday, she'll start the day with a 10 A.M. hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Iraq, and then, after a short lunch, make her way over to the House to spend some time with the House Committee on Foreign Affairs at 2 P.M on the same topic.
For an encore, the Senate Armed Services Committee will follow up by questioning SecDef Robert Gates and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Peter Pace Friday morning.
Ready the popcorn!

I look forward to CNN reporting on how gracefully Ms. Rice stood up under "intense partisan questioning." Next up: AGs Gonzalez and Ashcroft please.

Actually, my first thoughts were "Rice-aroni."

Beware the stink eye!
The deluxe popcorn and soda please, and large box of Jujubes, keep the change my good man.

Seriously, she has told some of the biggest flaming-turd whoppers of lies in the last several years with friendly congressional leaders and a pushover news media. Now she might actually have to answer some serious questions UNDER OATH. Ouch. Maybe that's why they just moved Negropnte in as her assistant - for a clean transition.

As Rice has already pointed out, her "integrity" can't be questioned because she can't remember where she left it.
