Democrats in Self-Destruct Mode CCXLV

I think that's what will happen — to the Democrats — when NSA Condoleezza Rice testifies publicly before the 9-11 Commission next week. Anybody who thinks anybody is gonna make a fool of Condi is just plain stupid. She's gonna take Richard Clarke, chew him up, and spit him out. Shortly thereafter, mainstream media coverage of the issue will wither and vanish, though some bitter partisans, such as those at Moron Moveon.org, will probably make some risible ad or two out of it before it's all over but the shouting.

Man, that Karl Rove is a genius.

P.S. Michael Novak agrees with me.

P.P.S. The folks at the Boston Herald are thinking along similar lines:

The White House has just given Democratic partisans, on and off the Sept. 11 commission, enough rope with which to hang themselves. National security adviser Condoleezza Rice will testify publicly under oath before the national Sept. 11 commission, and the whole commission will meet, without time constraints, with President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. But the public will only tolerate so much political posturing related to the Sept. 11 attacks. If Democrats take advantage of the administration's cooperation to score political points in this election year, it's John Kerry's, not Bush's, campaign which will be harmed.
