That American woman

Condoleeza Rice. Now then, is she:

a) A glorious shining example of America at its best: even a poor black woman from the Southern states can rise to incredibly high office

OR

b) A traitor to her gender, to her class, to her race - how could she ally herself to the dastardly Dubya?

Answers on a postcard, please, to my father, who will still give you the half-hour lecture EVEN WHEN YOU AGREE WITH HIM!
