Does this make anyone else cringe?

News story i saw on the net today...

Today Secretary Of State, Tomorrow NFL Boss?

POSTED: 4:59 pm CST February 4, 2006
WASHINGTON -- Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has managed to snag some good seats for the Super Bowl.

It could be a sign that she's looking ahead to what might be her next job: NFL commissioner.

Rice will be in the commissioner's box with Paul Tagliabue and others, including former NFL player Gene Washington. He often escorts Rice, who is single, to social events.

America's top diplomat is a lifelong football fan and has said, only half-jokingly, that she aspires to run the NFL one day.

Rice is often mentioned as a possible Republican candidate for president or vice president in 2008, but has said she isn't interested. If the NFL job doesn't work out, Rice could also return to her tenured teaching position at Stanford University.

    Really, I am not too worried about any of it but if this country has a woman president or NFL commissioner I am moving to Europe to take up a liking of Soccer.

    Nah. I'd much rather have her running the NFL than occupying the White House.

    How about a Condoleezza Rice vs. Hillary Clinton mud wrestling "winner-take-all" match to see "who runs what"?

    What makes me cringe is saying the following phrase:
    "President-elect Hillary Clinton".

    Not that it will happen.

    I would rather have Hillary, but I cringe at the specter of her name appearing on the 2008 ballot as the Democratic nominee, too.

    That would be like the fight between Butch Cassidy and Harvey Logan at "Hole in the Wall".
    Hillary would say, "lets discuss the rules"', and Condy would pause and say "there are no rules".
    While Condy was saying that, Hillary would already have begun the attack.
    Fight over. Hillary wins.
