Don’t cry for her. She’ll make a fortune when TransCanada builds the Keystone XL Pipeline.

McCain and Grahmnesty will push Kerree now. Time for Scott Brown to wash his Senate campaign truck again.

Obama's willingness to let our men be murdered in an act of war in Libya shouldn't be ignored just because his appointed liar in the case is going away.

Take what you can get, in small bites. That's what the leftists have been doing for 40+ years.

In a state that just elected Fauxcahontas, Brown vs. Ed Markey would be like Goldwater vs. McGovern, relatively speaking. There's nobody else on the right (unless you get an athlete like Curt Schilling or Tim Thomas to run, and they'd get slaughtered anyway).

Susan Rice drops out of running for secretary of state; saddened by partisan politics

I'm saddened by stone liars in positions of authority that affect the peace of the planet. I suppose we all have our own concerns.

It was all a set up with the intention of getting John Kerry as Sec of State.

1. Knowing that it would be controversial, float a rumor that Susan Rice will be appointed Sec of State.

2. When Rice has to withdraw, have liberal commentators say that Rice was shot down because she is black and a woman.

3. Raise money by sending out emails saying that the Republicans who opposed Susan Rice are racist and sexist.

4. Go with Plan A and appoint Kerry.

5. In the 2014 and. 2016 elections remind black and women voters about the sexist and racist Republicans.

Nominate Colin Powell, he’s black and liberal enough.

Bork never lied to the public through his teeth, and he got Borked. Rice is acting like she just got Borked. She can still get a consolation prize, like Ambassador to Congo or Rwanda.

Credit the weekly pounding in the WSJ.

The Bret Stephens article: The Other Susan Rice File was terrific journalism.

“In a way, it’s unfortunate. Now the questions about Benghazi will continue to be controlled by this administration and the MSM. With Rice being questioned by Senate, more people would find out the truth about the lies and deception.”

There was no way they were ever going to allow her to be questioned about Benghazi in a confirmation hearing. Issa, Chafetz, Gowdy, Adams etal should now just subpoena her ass and make her refuse to appear for the record.

If Il Douche had truly wanted her, she’d be hillary’s replacement without a doubt.

So now that the distraction has hiked her skirts and run away, what were we being distracted from?

“Yeah! Now we get Honest John Kerry!”

That’s an iota better than his being appointed Secretary of Defense, which it was rumored was in the works.
