What a nincowpoop...what a gullibull!
Still, she's had some crappy assignments, like most career state officers. I don't know the reasons for this, and I'm not sure we should be jumping on board the Powell-bashing just yet without the info. It sounds awful, but there has to be more to this. Doesn't there? Is our State Dept that stupid, to let this happen and then to PROMOTE the woman back to Foggy Bottom? Don't answer yet...
Remember, the promotion is fairly recent. And the ambassador slot in Pakistan is obviously a career diplomat slot right now, but it's one that could certainly have been handled differently, earlier, if the White House had wanted it to be.
I want to know more before I jump on the 'dump the dyke' bandwagon. Sounds 100% grade-A stupid, but I have a hard time imagining even career State people just being 100% grade-A stupid.
