Paul Mirengoff argues, though, that if we are to take Rice at her word on that defense, then the Senate would have to consider the wisdom of confirming a nominee for the top diplomatic post in the US government whose best argument is that she’s easily duped:

My argument all along. Susan Rice went on those Sunday talk shows not just with some talking points. The woman argued for those talking points, refused to back down from those talking points, added dept to the talking points. She just couldn’t be that dumb. She had to know she was lying through her teeth.

We knew better and we weren’t even briefed or allowed a chance to ask those in the “know” questions. The first suspicion should have come when SHE was asked to do what Panetta or Clinton should have been doing.

“…[D]uring the Clinton administration Susan Rice worked with Richard Clark to persuade Clinton not to accept Sudan’s offer to hand over Osama bin Laden to the United States. Former Clinton staffer Mansoor Ijaz stated that efforts to capture or kill Osama bin Laden were “overruled every single time by the State Department, by Susan Rice and her cronies, who were Hell-bent on destroying the Sudan.” Rice and Clark also authored the controversial Presidential Decision Directive 25, which some argue was incredibly naïve and led to the 1993 Somalia fiasco—the “Blackhawk Down” incident—in which American troops were killed and dragged through the streets by an angry mob. Clinton’s non-response to that incident allegedly led Osama bin Laden and others to believe terrorist attacks would weaken the resolve of the American people and allow greater progress by the radical Islamists. Rice has been considered “wildly incompetent” by some Washington insiders, and one critic who has worked with her states, “She doesn’t know what she doesn’t know. And she doesn’t tolerate dissenters. To have her head the U.S. mission to the U.N. is a mind-boggling decision. It is frightening.” The anti-Semite Rice, wife of ABC news producer Ian Cameron, also encouraged Clinton to do nothing to stop the Rwanda genocide.

Why should the White House hope to avoid this in the new year? What do they have to lose and who is going to call them on it anyway? The republicans are too timid and are running scared to death of this administration. We are now under the rule of Chicago thug politics and there isn’t anything whatsoever that we can do about it now.

You, America, voted for this now sit down and shut up. You had your chance and you blew it.

pathetic

Ya know, I keep seeing references to her being ‘african american’ – really? never would’ve guessed.

I’ve wondered if she is black or white, because in some pictures she looks mottled.

Can anyone that intellectually incurious be considered for the very demanding role of Sec of State?

“How high?” doesn’t count?

I hope Obama is stupid (oh, wait) and actually tries to push her through. It would give me great satisfaction to see her grilled in public on these issues, and have the President’s sterling reputation destroyed.

besides CSPAN, how does anyone find out about Rice’s problems????? LSM will not pick it up! no-one will know!

She looks angry, therefore, she must be smart.
I’m all for her to be whatever Obama wants.

She looks shtrong and proud, not angry

If the choice is between Kerry and Rice, I’d pick Kerry. :(

If he was named he’d have to give up his MA Senate seat, and there is a very good chance that Scott Brown could win the special election resulting. So that probably isn’t gonna happen.

What’s with the poses? Those women always have their heads turned to the side as if they have been coached to pose this way for photos.

Bad plastic surgery? If they have any more, they’re both going to be wearing goatee’s.

The sisters also crashed a Marco Rubio fundraiser and didn’t even pay.

Anyway, that’s not the only odd thing about them.

Obama can’t play the race and sexist cards if he nominates Kerry.

They could always play the Herman Munster card.
