AND GO ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND IN THE CIRCLE GAME

What would we do without Jon Stewart and The Daily Show? Just heard for the third or fourth time on TV and radio today that Condi Rice and Bush are so close "she can finish his sentences." JS: "Well, that makes one of them!"

Gotta love it. She's close to the pResident because she briefed him on foreign affairs (mainly her field of expertise, cold-war Soviet Union, which hasn't been our enemy since it ceased to exist) when he was first a presidential candidate (a decade or so after her field of expertise evaporated). She's now qualified for the job of Secretary of State because she's been close to the pResident, even though "...many experts consider her one of the weakest national security advisers in recent history..."

UPDATE: As Silmarill heard again how extremely close are Condo-LIE-zza and Shrub are, he asked, "Isn't there some kind of a term for that kind of relationship?" I replied, "Yeah. She's his office wife."

No?
