Andrea Mitchell: High-ranking women in administration angry over Rice’s withdrawal
ANDREA MITCHELL: A lot of Democrats are saying that the president did not show enough loyalty. A lot of women in the administration are very angry tonight, and I’m saying this at a very high level. Angry because they feel that she was not treated with respect, she was not given the support she needed and she was left to twist in the wind.
RACHEL MADDOW: They’re angry, with whom though?
MITCHELL: Angry with the White House. And with the boss, with the president, for not be willing to fight this out. That he’s backed down in the face of a challenge from the Republican minority, after having won a reelection victory. And most people in the foreign policy community understand that as qualified as John Kerry is, and he’s superbly qualified, he was trained — he lived for this post — a son of a diplomat, and clearly wanted this job and will get this job.

I thought this was going to make the Republicans look bad.

LOL. Whatever. LADY PARTS!

A lot? How many is “a lot”? I’m sick of Mitchell’s unnamed sources stories.

The arms must get very tired doing the heavy lifting for Obama.

The wheels of the bus go THUD THUD THUD.
Yeah, sisters: this can happen to you…..

More angry over this or over Benghazi? Do Tell.

Wow.. Rasputin is mad at Obama because he had a momentarily lapse of sanity. Don’t worry Valerie; I’m sure that Barry will be under your troll like spell again soon.

Right. Because the Republicans who voted to confirm Condoleeza Rice as Secretary of State won’t confirm Susan Rice because of racism, or sexism.
Ok.
JimLennon on December 14, 2012 at 12:52 PM
Condoleeza Rice was neither female nor black because she had an (R) by her name. The (R) means “This person is an old white guy, no matter what (s)he looks like.”

As someone recently stated on FOX News, we haven’t had a white male Secretary of State since Bill Clinton was President.
But somehow, opposition to Susan Rice is racially and sexually motivated.
Whatevs. You just can’t win an argument with the race pimps on the left.

I’m surprised President Choom doesn’t have more women in his administrations, since he only pays them 2/3rds of what he pays men…

Bill Clinton’s first term in office, I should add.
UltimateBob on December 14, 2012 at 1:00 PM
But none more angry than Obama Administration media fluffer Andrea Mitchell.

Obama has been the bus driver since day one and never hesitates to throw someone under the bus. He always has someone else standing in the way to take a punch for him.

Good old girls’ club?
theperfecteconomist on December 14, 2012 at 1:08 PM
“the Republican minority”? We control the House. That means “majority”.
alwaysfiredup on December 14, 2012 at 1:21 PM
Yeah, it was the Republicans. Were they the ones who set her up as a dupe to spread a bald face lie about four dead Americans? Or perhaps it was the GOP enviro-marxists who went nuts about her investments in the Keystone XL pipeline. And of course Hillary had nothing to with it even though she’s been backing Kerry from the get go.
She was thrown under the bus by her own people, but the corrupt, idiot-media will predictably blame it on the usual scapegoats.
RadClown on December 14, 2012 at 1:28 PM
Not to worry. The Democrats will eventually bring in the advocates of sharia law to help out. What could go wrong?
Fenris on December 14, 2012 at 1:39 PM
I guess it must be that time of month again.
