Question, Brit, how do you rate Hillary Clinton's performance, record as our top diplomat?
HUME: I think those examples you cited would add up to a case for her competence. They do not add up to a case for greatness, after all, the groundwork on Burma had been done by the previous administration. And the administration properly followed through on it. You look across the world, now at the major issues. Are Arabs and Israelis closer to peace? How about Iran and North Korea and their nuclear programs? Have they been halted or seriously set back? Has the reset with Russia, which she so famously introduced with the photo-op in Moscow with the reset button, has they lead to a new and more cooperative relationship? Is there a Clinton doctrine that we can identify that she has articulated and formed as secretary of state? Are there major treaties that she has undertaken and negotiated through to a successful conclusion? I think the answer to all those questions is that she has not. And those are the kinds of things that might mark her as a great secretary of state.
She has certainly been industrious. She has visited 112 countries. Her conduct as secretary of state has been highly dignified. She does her homework. There have been no gaffes or blunders. So I think she has been a capable and hard working secretary of state, but I think the case for her being a great secretary of state is exceedingly weak.

Hillary was an empty chair . . . just like the President . . . never in modern times as there been such abdication of duty by our so-called leaders. It’s as if they want America to collapse.
Maybe Brit would like a "reset button" on that "no gaffes" statement.
trying to shut the BENGHAZIGATE.
Good one!!!
Quite a record of foreign policy sucess...eh?
Really. I stopped listening to Brett so much after he trashed Newt. Impartiality is a quality lacking in the old media. For him to make that statement is astonishing. But not surprising...

2) Hillary draw down of security prior to 9/11 - IMPEACHABLE
3) Order for SEALs at Annex to stand down instead of rescue - INEXCUSABLE
4) Hillary & State Dept. failure to see Stevens emergency cable requesting assistance - INEXCUSABLE
5) Failure to send team to rescue Americans - IMPEACH OBAMA!!
6) 0bama/Hillary/Rice's "protest over a video" comment was a COVER-UP to downplay attack to protect 0bama's re-election bid - IMPEACHABLE
7) Where are the 37 survivors which were 'evacuated' from the Annex.. WERE THEY PRISONERS and was this the motive for the attack?.. Was the Annex an illegal CIA Prison?? - IMPEACHABLE
8) Why did the final report on Benghazi NOT MENTION HILLARY OR 0BAMA??? - THIS IS A COVER-UP CONSPIRACY! IMPEACH ALL INVOLVED IN THE REPORT!!
How in the hell does Hillary get away with MASS INCOMPETENCE LIKE THIS? How come 0bama is never accountable for ANYTHING??
Like any typical democrat Hillary was out for herself.
I’d love to see her finances as she traveled the world on our dime stuffing her pockets with cash and making deals for herself.
Hillary like Bill & Obama never had a real job - they make their extravagant living off the taxpayers.
Doing nothing has a lot of meaning for leftists like Hillary. Stick her on a plane, and keep her flying around where she can do no harm, except she still managed to screw up.
Just like her beards presidency.
That farce of a performance in front of the Senate committee, with phony choking up and mock outrage, is just another in a long line of Clinton lie-fests. Obama-Clinton, Clinton-Obama...Evil is at work in the world.
But she can dance up a storm in South America, that should put her in the frauds on the left hall of fame. Hillary was running for president during her 4 year tenure. She was not paying attention in the least to this job. Not reading emails from the ambassador of Benghazi that directly led to the death of four americans is grounds for jail time in my book.
Understatement of the year, Brit.
YOU are correct. SOS was simply tenure to build the Clintons’ brand, if you will, on a global scale, and certainly the singular reason she accepted the slot in the first place. Bill negotiated the favorable terms for Hillary and Obama was likewise able to unite the Hillary democrats to his base, after the contentious, divisive campaign.
Mainly, Hillary has been on a four year death tour, trumpeting her death agenda, of global access to abortion, under the disguise of “women and girls” social and human rights.
Ambassador Stevens, Tyrone Woods, Glen Doherty and Sean Smith were unavailable for comment.
Her conduct as secretary of state has been highly dignified.
I think we should get a second opinion from the Secret Service agents assigned to protect her ...
Washburne held the office for 11 days in 1869.
was i the only one who noticed the sexual tension between obongo and the hillbeast?
