How Do These People Get Away With This Shit?
Part 2 in an ongoing series
Ann Coulter writes this week about Condi Rice breaking the color and gender barricades in her nomination as Secretary of State. Of course, all this diversity in the Bush cabinet is fodder for her to tweak liberals by playing the race card:

The closest black woman to most of the liberals accusing Rice of being incompetent is the maid they periodically accuse of stealing from the liquor cabinet.

First off, when did "liberals" become the landed gentry? Secondly... I just will let that statement stand on its own.

I don't call Condoleeeeeeza Rice incompetent. I just think that she's ill-suited for the job, and it's been her track record as National Security Advisor that informs my opinion--not her race, not her gender, not her perma-helmet hairstyle, and not her taste in clothes or music. She was unable (or unwilling) to mitigate the competing viewpoints of Powell and Rumsfeld or dissenting opinion about intelligence in the run-up to the Iraq war. Now, she'll be going head to head with Rumsfeld, and I don't see her wining a lot of arguments.
