Condoleeza Rice Does The VeePee Dance



Unlike the storied pee-pee dance, the VeePee dance is not performed by oscillating wildly (Exaggerated cough suggesting feigned detachment). The VeePee Dance is a measured, festina lente type of Beltway maneuver. Yalie, preppy, George Herbert Walker Bush, 43, did his, for example, by actually running a rigorous, Establishment Republican campaign. Al Gore did his VeePee Dance by simply Being Al, a strong, competent Southern democrat who had won statewide election in a Tennessee. And Dick Cheney, of course, rigged his VeePee dance by being head of the selection committee (Averted Gaze). Enter: Condi Rice, pianist, ice skater, ineffective former National Security Advisor and SecState. From ABCNews:

"ABCNews’ Mary Bruce Reports: Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is actively courting the vice presidential nomination, Republican strategist Dan Senor said.

"'Condi Rice has been actively, actually in recent weeks, campaigning for this,' Senor said this morning on 'This Week with George Stephanopoulos.'

"According to Senor, Rice has been cozying up to the Republican elite.

"'There's this ritual in Washington: The Americans for Tax Reform, which is headed by Grover Norquist, he holds a weekly meeting of conservative leaders -- about 100, 150 people, sort of inside, chattering, class types,' Senor said. 'They all typically get briefings from political conservative leaders. Ten days ago, they had an interesting visit -- Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice -- the first time a secretary of state has visited the Wednesday meeting.”

"Senor explained that Rice’s history in public office would make her a prime candidate, especially in light of presumptive Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain’s emphasis on experience throughout his campaign.

"'What the McCain campaign has to consider is whether or not they want to pick a total outsider, a fresh face, someone a lot younger than him, a governor who people aren't that familiar with,' Senor said."
