Remarks After Meeting With Lebanese President Michel Suleiman - State.gov (6/16/08):

Secretary Rice: And so, obviously, in any compromise there are compromises…

Good lord. This is supposed to be a brilliant woman? Someone get Section 9 on the blower. But wait, this is Condi Rice we’re talking about, so it wouldn’t be complete without completing the quote:

…but this was an agreement that I think served the interests of the Lebanese people; and since it served the interests of the Lebanese people, it served the interests of the United States.

That’s some breaking news right there, the interests of the Lebanese people and the American people are one and the same, even when Hezbollah is a party to the agreement. Well played, dummy!

In honor of Madame Secretary I’m recycling this classic post from 2004:

Treasury Secretary John Snow (2004):

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension(1984):

Buckaroo Banzai: “Remember, no matter where you go, there you are.”

Fletch (1985):

Madeline: I’m sorry, who are you again?
Fletch: I’m Frieda’s boss.
Madeline: Who’s Frieda?
Fletch: My secretary.

And of course, your President, George W. Bush (2000):

“When I was young and foolish, I was young and foolish.”
