I couldn't bear to watch it all, but from what I could tell, the Sec. of State is supposed to; cure and prevent AIDS, detect and prevent terrorism, protect any captured terrorists from getting their widdle feewings hurt in any way, and basically solve and prevent any and all problems throughout the whole world.
It wouldn't be nearly so bad if they were asking genuine questions and truly wanted to know the answers, rather than just asking to get their digs in and be self-serving and critical now and in the future.

rather than just asking to get their digs in and be self-serving
Exactly right. Also it wouldn't be so bad--or not as bad--if they shortenend the time that these blowhards could blow. How about ten minutes per senator--that's plenty of time to ask your questions and get your answer, isn't it, Biden?
It was nothing but a hearing to attack Dr. Rice and President Bush. Hardly a question was asked regarding the Sec of State job. It was a disgusing display of behavior on the part of the Democrats. Their only goal was to try to embarrase the President and Condie Rice.
