I think what happened here is that she was supposed to go in there, say a few of the right things, and play the DC game. Then they would come out and say how they still have a few reservations, but that she “addressed many of their concerns”.
This woman is dumb as a box of rocks. She has riden a wave of family connections and race to levels she has no business in. She also has a reputation as being hardheaded when wrong. Thats a great combo, stupid AND hardheaded.
Her wiki,
“She has had a most extraordinary career. With only 18 months’ experience in the workplace as a consultant for McKinsey, she was given senior jobs at the National Security Council from 1993 to 1997; first as Director for International Organizations and Peacekeeping from 1993 to 1995 and then, with only three and a half years working after getting her degree from Oxford and having never worked in Africa or had any prior work experience on the continent, she was promoted to become Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for African Affairs from 1995 to 1997. Previous occupants of that position had been officials with long experience in Africa such as Ambassador Hank Cohen and Ambassador David Miller, both of whom came to the job with decades of experience.”
She was also the central player in stopping Sudans attempt to give us Osama Bin Laden in ‘96.
I think she got in there, and was so obviously incompetent and dishonest, that even our rino aisle crossing Senators couldnt support her.
She is a Rhodes Scholar. Does Oxford play the affirmative action game too?
