Republican president selects black woman for one of the most critical posts in his administration
Condaleezza Rice will be in charge of the Iraq Stabilization Group. Her successes and failures will directly impact the Bush administration and the people of Iraq.
Do we hear some slight approval on the part of the usual black leadership groups and liberals who normally seem obsessed with this sort of affirmative action?
Cue sound of quietly chirping crickets.
Had a Democratic president done this, it would have made headlines for weeks and he would have been lauded by every black organization on the planet.
