The Third Estate Sunday Review focuses on politics and culture. We're an online magazine. We don't play nice and we don't kiss butt. In the words of Tuesday Weld: "I do not ever want to be a huge star. Do you think I want a success? I refused "Bonnie and Clyde" because I was nursing at the time but also because deep down I knew that it was going to be a huge success. The same was true of "Bob and Carol and Fred and Sue" or whatever it was called. It reeked of success."

Condi Flips the Bird at America
That stylish Condi Rice. The press can't stop playing yenta and trying to fix her up with a man. We just wish she'd do her job.
Last week, she had the gall to pipe off with a statement that may have topped her catch-phrase of "No one could have guessed . . ."
Contrasting her husba- er, the Bully Boy to Bill Clinton, Rice told The New York Post, "The notion somehow for eight months the Bush administration sat there and didn't do that is just flatly false -- and I think the 9/11 commission understood that."
This is what we know is flatly true, August 6, 2001 the administration got a PDB (presidential daily briefing) entitled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US." Bully Boy was in Crawford (as was Condi) vacationing. He didn't stop his vacation, the American people were not warned, there's no indication that the airlines were warned.
Back then, Condi Rice wasn't the Secretary of State, she was the National Security Advisor. "National Security." "Bin Laden determined to Strike in US."
Condi should have been canned a long time ago. But there is no accountability in that administration.
From that PDB:
Nevertheless, FBI information since that time indicates patterns of suspicious activity in this country consistent with preparations for hijackings or other types of attacks, including recent surveillance of federal buildings in New York.
She didn't get kicked to the curb (the way she should have been) and now "stylish" Condi's flipping the bird at America yet again.
