Brothas Can't Catch A Break

Why do sistah's always gotta be takin' a brotha's job? (LOL!) The ink isn't even dry on his resignation letter and little Miss Condi is ready to fly the globe trying to be diplomatic. I know Powell was not a fit with the rest of Bush's vulcans but now a henchman black woman will be there to happily do the things he fought so hard against?

"National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, one of President Bush's closest counselors, will be nominated to replace Colin Powell as secretary of state, ABC News has learned.

Senior administration sources confirmed that Rice would be Bush's choice. The news comes just hours after the White House announced Powell had submitted his resignation.

ABC News has also learned that Deputy National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley will likely replace Rice as national security adviser.

Powell submitted his resignation on Friday, though his departure was not announced until today.

The retired four-star general was known for his moderate views and for clashing with members of the administration on the issue of Iraq. Even so, it was Powell who went before the United Nations in February of 2003 to make a case for the U.S.- led invasion of Iraq.

Rice, if confirmed by the Senate, will take over the job of international diplomat during a war that has divided the nation and the world. "

Yeah, we knew it was coming. Bush will have a faithful neo-con in every slot now - given his "mandate." At least it seems that Mr. Spitcomb Wolfowitz won't be taking her old job. Lord help us!
