Condi shows she's as petty as the rest of the gang

Condoleezza Rice sent a cable (forgive the secondhand link, but I refuse to link to the Washington Times if I can help it) to the relevant US embassies on the eve of Barack Obama's swing through the middle east detailing how "additional restrictions should be placed" on the services these sitting Congressmen receive from the staff, telling them for example, "[i]f the campaign staff wants to rent a bus for press, tell them where they can rent a bus". Rice attempted to sound less like a 3 year old by stating that, "It is imperative that, in implementing these various requirements, we treat both major presidential candidates evenhandedly" which sounds grandly fair. Fair, though, only in the sense FoxNews is fair, which is to say, not at all. You see, Rice did not send out the same notice when John McCain went on his mideast tour 4 months ago! These restrictions have apparently not hurt the Obama tour much, probably because the Democrats on the trip presumably are capable of renting a bus all on their own.
Nice job, Ms. Secretary! I'm sure Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Daniel Webster, and George Marshall are so pleased to have you among the long list of respectable Sec's of State we have had.
