Secretary Clinton had originally been asked by networks to go on. She declined to do it.
-- Susan Rice, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, talking to NBC News.
The Obama Democrats are today furious at the opposition of Republicans that ended the bid of presidential favorite U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice to replace outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Rice, a stalwart retainer of the House of Obama, knows that Clinton, the matriarch of the rival Democratic clan, let the ambitious ambassador take the fall.

But this would be sort of like being upset at the bear that trashed your campsite in search of your food. The bear was just being a bear, like Lindsey Graham and John McCain were just being themselves. Bears like peanut butter and Republican senators like to bedevil controversial Democratic appointees.
The real question is who forgot to seal up the cooler and hang the rest of the chow from a tree branch. Who enticed the bears into camp?
Rice, a friend and confidante of President Obama, gave the answer on Thursday night in an interview with NBCs Brian Williams. It was Clinton herself that set in motion what would become the shambles of Rices once-inevitable march into the top cabinet slot for the second Obama term.
It was a round of Sunday show interviews in the wake of the Sept. 11 raid by Islamist militiamen in Libya that ultimately doomed Rices chance to have the top job. Rice, no doubt looking for the chance to burnish her profile on big issues, sallied forth the following Sunday to lay out the administration talking points that the deadly attack was a spontaneous result of riots over a YouTube video offensive to Muslims.

Hillary has been brain dead for decades, so I’d like to know what she possibly could have hurt by falling and hitting her head.
Note to federal officials. “Grab that B by the nap of her neck, and drag her ass down to Congress to do her civic duty.”

Rice should resign as ambassador. She and Hillary will not avoid testifying UNDER OATH for the Benghazi hearings. I expect the 5th from both.

Hillbilly started the whole ‘Youtube video did it’ story. She was tweeting apologies for it from the Cairo embassy many hours before the Benghazi consulate was attacked. She owns that stupid ploy.

Secretary Clinton had originally been asked by networks to go on. She declined to do it. I posted soon after Rice's infamous TV appearances that she was only there because Hillary would have told Obama where to shove it, having no intention of being tarnished by the Benghazi fiasco. And I'm no admirer of Hillary, but I've also thought that she probably didn't make any of the decisions that led to the fiasco.
This fiasco was Obama's, and a result of his stupid policies aimed at pretending that Islam is something other than what it is. If we ever get the truth about Benghazi, we'll find that Obama is responsible, first and foremost, and others were just carrying out his idiotic policies.

Hillary just does as she damned pleases and we have to suffer the consequences and the tab.
This is insane - besides being a crook she’s incompetent in her job but very good at protecting and advancing her power.

Like I said. Rice knew exactly where the monkeywrench came from. And Rice is restless. Should be a bit interesting to watch where this goes.
Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.

Note to federal officials. Grab that B by the nap of her neck, and drag her ass down to Congress so she can plead the fifth fifty times, and get this over with. Her concussion and resulting partial amnesia will mean she just cannot recall any details.
