Perhaps the man has run himself into the ground. Only five days off in ten months. The commandment is “Six days you shall work and perform all your labor, and the seventh day you shall rest.”
Sometimes, I think this happens to our Secretary of State, to Condi Rice and Hillary Clinton.

As I have posted here many times, sadly we have really only had one Republican in my lifetime that could deal with, subdue, and eventually triumph against the open microphone - Ronald Wilson Reagan.
Man, what I wouldn't give for even half a Reagan.
