she was confirmed 94 – 2. Landslide. Quit griping, youâ€™re looking pathetic.

Yes, because the Senate is never wrong. I guess that answers the question of whether the Iraq War was right, since it passed by a landslide as well.

What is it with the Clintons and the ChiComs? They are like butt-and-underwear (to loosely translate a Greek saying of my mother’s).

Sec of State Clinton and her husband have huge ethical problems. Thanks to Drudge and the Washington Times this explains pretty clearly the cloudy mess the Clinton Foundation is along with it’s Chinese connections.

#6 – “Controlling the narrative determines greatness, especially with a population of idiots.”

Well, Iggy….

Nah, too easy.

Mrs. Clinton will make a great SoS not because of what she’ll do or say but because the media and academics will say she is. They’ll repeat it endlessly, set up a tea service with Albright for a ‘passing of the torch’, and perhaps even hire Hollywood to stage sniper fire… Controlling the narrative determines greatness, especially with a population of idiots.

#4 – She didn’t say it, she shrieked it. Just listen to the audio (unless you have something more pleasant on the agenda, like root canal).

that should read "Her husband similarly made the situation in the middle east worse in an attempt to procure a legacy" So far, as SoS Hillary has managed to piss off Afghanistan (although she was correct to be fair), said that Columbia will continue to be our ally whether we sign a free trade agreement with them or not, (which IBD obliterates here), and is apparently responsible for George Mitchell being appointed as special middle east envoy.

Ok, I’m going to be tough on you.

Where oh where is the evidence that Hillary could be a great SoS? Yes, I understand your position that shes a tough ballbusting bitch, who wont brook any dissent at State, but I don’t think that’s realistic or even relevant since the careerists at state undermine policy with clandestine leaks and other subterfuge.

Moreover, she is a political opportunist who contorts her position and undermines her nation for political gain and self-aggrandizement. Her husband similarly made the situation in the middle east worse, gave American nuclear secrets away and erected a devastating intelligence wall for campaign contributions, basically paid the North Koreans to develop nuclear weapons, and refused to apprehend or kill public enemy number one even when offered his head on a silver platter — all because he was far more concerned with looking out for priority number one — Bill Clinton.

Her attempt at reforming health care was an unmitigated disaster, for which she is roundly recognized as the cause, and she was handed the Democratic nomination on a silver platter, spilled it all over herself and dropped it right at Obama’s neophyte feet.

So while I agree that she could be a great secretary of state, somewhere in the same sense that pigs could fly out of my butt, or Barack Obama could lead as a conservative, I am wondering where the evidence is.
