Condoleezza Rice gets the Abercrombie treatment

Still fuming over the how Rush Limbaugh was so unfairly treated by the media ( ! ) over four years ago, Bird of Paradise points out the how the press is giving Congressman Neil Abercrombie (D-Hawaii) a free ride by letting him get away with this comment about Condoleezza Rice:

In today’s : Honolulu Star-Bulletin Abercrombie is quoted as describing U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice as being:

"the most overrated, underperforming individual in executive authority that I have ever seen."

"She constantly gets a pass. Who knows if the whole question of race and gender come into it, but..." Bird of Paradise

I would agree with Bird of Paradise about this point. Abercrombie is dead wrong. Condoleezza Rice does not get a free pass because she is black OR a woman. She gets a free pass by the Republican owned media for the same reason that every other Republican in the governement has gotten a free pass for the last five years. Condoleezza Rice gets a free pass by the Republican owned press because she is a Republican.
