Lol. Have you ever seen McCain make the Sunday rounds? He's either lying himself or just plain stupid. I'm going with stupid since he picked Palin as a running mate.
Seriously - he thinks Rice is not competent and thought Palin was? HahahahahahaHAHAHAHA!
If you know the history of how Palin was picked you wouldn't be pointing a finger at McCain. Are you aware of the vetting process? The ball was dropped by McCain's people and the lawyers when it came to certain issues that Palin SHOULD have known about and didn't. McCain was given the go-ahead by those he relied on and it was only AFTER announcing her as a running mate that they found out just how stupid she was and the learned that neither side did the proper vetting - relying on the other to do it. Had the ball not been dropped and he had another running mate possibly things would have turned out differently.
As for Susan Rice the Dems will continue to blame the Republicans for her "fall from grace". Remove Libya from the equation and you (if possible, objectively) will see that she brought nothing to the table. She was well groomed and well connected. Other than that - she had nothing.
Rice, along with the rest of the Obama administration, does not know the meaning of diplomacy. What they are good at is being very undiplomatic. This isn't a race issue, it's a competency issue. SoS is pretty much an independent position, not one of loyalty or self-serving.
Here's a very interesting article on Susan Rice handling of the Congo, along with some Rice background:
There are plenty of reasons for Susan Rice NOT to be in the position of SoS - none of which has to do with race, gender, party affiliation and/or Libya.
People need to grow up and start assessing facts to determine competency - facts that go beyond race, gender or party.
I'm a Republican, but I endorse this. She didn't do anything wrong: the Benghazi aftermath was amateurishly managed, but not by her.
You're right. But she's the one they put in front of the cameras to tell the American public a false story.
And it wasn't just one talk show on one channel. She did the tour of talk shows across all channels saying one story while foreign press told another.
Why it was done is still a mystery. But she was the one that got the heat. No other names surfaced to take responsibility and all other agencies pointed fingers at each other.
She was the public figure that got thrown under the bus and took the fall for that wad of false propaganda that was told to the American public.
Notice it was not Hillary that went on the air that Sunday. That was Hillary's State Dept. not Rice's.
Why was it Rice and not Hillary that told that story ? I'm still wondering on that one.

Because Hillary told Obama to EFF-off when he asked her to go out there and lie? Valerie probably told Susan it would be good exposure for her and like the good soldier Susan was, exposed herself - only to be called an idiot. I bet Susan really thought it was the video when she said it was the video and she was really behind and out of the loop as to what everyone else seemed to know.

Sure looks that way doesn't it ?
Hillary is no fool.
Rice wanted the public exposure..well she got it didn't she ?
And why on earth would anyone feel threatened by MadCow? She's a silly little doofus who reads her talking points, then scratches them off her paper, like she's going through a grocery list. And boring! OMG! And those shoes! I think she thinks she's Ellen, or something, lol.
Both MadCow and Andrea are total wastes of skin.
This is Andrea Mitchels statement, where does she state republicans don't like blacks?
" I think this had become sort of an impossible challenge for her to be confirmed, that she realized that, the White House realized it as well. I think they know they are on good political solid ground, as you were just pointing out. This is not going to help Republicans at all, the fact that a woman and a woman of color has been forced out of a confirmation process even before she was nominate.
I didn't being Clinton up but when others kept talking leaner talk about him and his BJs with Monica when his trial was about an entirely different woman and wholly different court case I just finally got tired of the Clinton behavior in our house he was using as his private bordello, the White House, I decided it was time to try to set some of them straight.
I don't know what you mean but I did try to set them straight. Are you also of a mind that it was Monica that he was in court about?
Clintons sex life consumed the republicans for months, they could have cared less about Al Queda, this was the most important issue of the day that they devoted most of their resources to solve. The fact that they wanted to impeach a president because of an affair will go down as one of the most bizarre requests in history.
I think she would have done a great job as SOS also but the Republicans are more hell bent on being difficult than looking out for the best for our country.

"On August 17, 1998, William Jefferson Clinton swore to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth before a Federal grand jury of the United States. Contrary to that oath, William Jefferson Clinton willfully provided perjurious, false and misleading testimony to the grand jury concerning one or more of the following: (1) the nature and details of his relationship with a subordinate Government employee; (2) prior perjurious, false and misleading testimony he gave in a Federal civil rights ac tion brought against him; (3) prior false and misleading statements he allowed his attorney to make to a Federal judge in that civil rights action; and (4) his corrupt efforts to influence the testimony of witnesses and to impede the discovery of evidence in that civil rights action."
Gee,...I didn't see where the president was impeached for an affair. Please point it out in the segment above.
