#3 Condi did it after the little dust up with Andrea Mitchell and crew.

#4 When he became a VP a couple of weeks back, I was pretty sure he'd be a dead in an unfortunate accident fairly soon, just not this soon. I wonder why the Sudanese were in such a hurry?

#6 And he didn't know any better than not to take a helicopter ride? I thought he grew up in Sudan?
