Some readers have suggested we should boost the Pinocchio rating for Rice

Thanks.

Nuland has had a long career in the Foreign Service and has worked for both Democratic and Republican administrations. During the Bill Clinton administration, Nuland was chief of staff to Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott before moving on to serve as deputy director for former Soviet Union affairs.

During the George W. Bush administration, she served as the principal deputy foreign policy adviser to Vice President Dick Cheney and then as U.S. ambassador to NATO. During the Barack Obama administration, she was special envoy for Conventional Armed Forces in Europe before assuming her current position as State Department spokesperson in summer 2011.

* stupid
* a mindless dupe
* a willing dupe
* a willing disinformation Obama operative
* totally dishonest
* incompetent
* power-hungry

Those very attributes form an orthogonal set of basis vectors in corruption space.

Rice got her information from her BOSS....the liar Hilda Clinton. Anyone got the list of Hilda lies?

From when she was 27 years old:
Jerry Zeifman, a lifelong Democrat, supervised the work of 27-year-old Hillary Rodham on the committee. Hillary got a job working on the investigation at the behest of her former law professor, Burke Marshall, who was also Sen. Ted Kennedy’s chief counsel in the Chappaquiddick affair. When the investigation was over, Zeifman fired Hillary from the committee staff and refused to give her a letter of recommendation – one of only three people who earned that dubious distinction in Zeifman’s 17-year career.

Why?

“Because she was a liar,” Zeifman said in an interview last week. “She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”

Admitted Lies

Chelsea was jogging around the Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. (She was in bed watching it on TV.)
Hillary was named after Sir Edmund Hillary. (She admitted she was wrong. He climbed Mt. Everest five years after her birth.)
She was under sniper fire in Bosnia. (A girl presented her with flowers at the foot of the ramp.)
She learned in The Wall Street Journal how to make a killing in the futures market. (It didn’t cover the market back then.)

Whoppers She Won’t Confess To

She didn’t know about the FALN pardons.
She didn’t know that her brothers were being paid to get pardons that Clinton granted.
Taking the White House gifts was a clerical error.
She didn’t know that her staff would fire the travel office staff after she told them to do so.
She didn’t know that the Peter Paul fundraiser in Hollywood in 2000 cost $700,000 more than she reported it had.
She opposed NAFTA at the time.
She was instrumental in the Irish peace process.
She urged Bill to intervene in Rwanda.
She played a role in the ‘90s economic recovery.
The billing records showed up on their own.
She thought Bill was innocent when the Monica scandal broke.
She was always a Yankees fan.
She had nothing to do with the New Square Hasidic pardons (after they voted for her 1,400-12 and she attended a meeting at the White House about the pardons).
She negotiated for the release of refugees in Macedonia (who were released the day before she got there).

If she blamed it on the sequester 60% of the people would nod in agreement.

In plain English these words describe a “Democrat”.

One option might be to revisit Susan Rice with the promise of prosecution unless she agrees to testify fully with immunity. That might be useful in isolating Hillary as the culprit. Not going to get Obama with anything but censure, but Hillary can be prosecuted. It’d be the second-best outcome.

[ScottinVA]

Hillary also claimed to have wanted to join the Marines back in the late 1960s, and her political views “evolved” when told by the recruiter the Marines had met their quota of women.

[ScottinVA]

Then, under the bus, and into a left-wing think tank where she’ll be well taken care of.

Would that be Podesta's Center for American Progress, aka, the Retired Obama Henchmen's Home (ROHH)?

"Who hired Craig Livingstone?"

The same person who rewrote the talking points.

[DainBramage]

Why was UN ambassador even in the conversation? Hmmmm?

[spawn44]

Everything that takes place in matters like this comes RIGHT FROM THE TOP. Can you imagine a lower level government type making decisions on matters like FAST and FURIOUS or BENGHAZI. It would never happen. They would be to afraid of losing their job. The FOREIGINER’S REGIME has lost all credibility with the american people. It’s time for him to step down. But like the AGW scam, the socialist left will keep the lie going on his behalf.

RE: "Just what did hillary and Obama have to do with them.??"
Oh ye of little faith. Don't you trust this administration to do honorable things. :)

The media will carefully select quotes making the left look innocent for the public to hear. I pray they somehow air it, but that might have to wait until the impeachment hearings. Pray people, pray. Last week was the national day of prayer and we continue to pray that God will answer one of our many prayers; for corrupt and dishonest politicians and government workers be taken out of office.
