Media Ignores Condi, Fawns Over Pelosi
Ann Coulter notes that Lexus Nexus has 476 articles about Pelosi’s achievement of becoming the first woman Speaker, yet when Condoleezza Rice became Secretary of State there were only 77 articles written (half in Ebony, Jet, etc.).
What liberal media?
Coulter lists notable Bush appointments:
- Colin Powell: first black secretary of state
- Condi Rice: first black female national security adviser
- Alberto Gonzales: first Hispanic attorney general
- Spencer Abraham: Arab-American secretary of energy
- Carlos Gutierrez: Cuban-American secretary of commerce
- Elaine Chao: Asian-American secretary of labor
- Norman Mineta: retarded-American secretary of transportation (how true!)
- Gale Ann Norton: secretary of the interior
- Ann Veneman: secretary of agriculture
- Margaret Spellings: secretary of education
Humorous Coulter Quote:
A New York Times profile of Rice at the time waited until the last sentence to note in passing that Rice was “only the second woman, and the first black woman, to hold the job.” (In a separate column by me, it was noted that Rice was the “first competent woman” to hold the job.)
