You're right. I kind of overestimated.

Its more like 95% of liberal women.

And if you have any friends whose heads aren't buried in the sand perhaps they can help you learn that it wasn't liberals with the big mouths and short tempers who acted overemotionally and led the US off to a wasteful war of choice.

You know, the big mouths who spewed such crap as "Mission Accomplished" when it was anything but? The big mouths who spread lies like the Taliban had ceased to exist when the opposite was true?

It's very doubtful enough liberal women would have enough to do with you to constitute a statistically meaningful sample size.

That sounds like a good topic to start a thread on to discuss.

It was a Congolese university student. Bloggers are well known to stretch the truth (or to make it up for that matter). Child, indeed.

Nice attempt to change the focus of the discussion. It is about Hillary, nothing else no matter how you try to spin it.

Personally, I think that she could have handled it better, but can understand her feelings. I am not a fan of hers, but judge her on her own actions, not those of a former president or even the current one.

A totally appropriate response to an inappropriate question. That the translator botched the question is irrelevant - how was she supposed to know?

It doesn't matter and it is not that big of a deal but if you saw the look on her face you wouldn't be as confused as you appear to be about it.
It was ugly, uncalled for, and most importantly unbecoming of a secretary of state!

So we had to go to Korea in 1951 and Viet Nam in 1964?

Hillary's response to the reporter was uncalled for. Even if she felt slighted by the question she could've corrected the reporter with a bit more tact.
