Not debatable here. Suspect.

Lloyd Grove should stick with lightweight gossip. She has not had a "brilliant career". It has been full of serious mistakes and yet pal Obie has pulled her along. Of course.

Having a nasty personality, being known for having a foul mouth, do not seem like qualities that would work for someone in the #1 diplomatic position in the United States. That´s the personality part.

Having made serious errors in judgement in the past is the business part. She is not intellectually equipped to be secretary of state. Or maybe she too just doesn´t like the United States?

Frankly I can hardly stomach hearing more about Susan Rice and her " brilliant career" or her gazillions of dollars. These thugs running our lives are laughing their a-- off that Americans are so stupid as to give them 4 more years to rape and pillage our country!

"Temperament" is not just Beltway jargon. Rice seems to be an overbearing prig, to use an old phrase. While she has strong academic credentials and is praised by a high school mentor, she come across as a know-it-all and full of herself.

Her atrocious handling of whatever she touched as Asst SoS in the Clinton era disqualifies her, particularly not pushing Clinton to address Rwanda genocide, which he says was the one area where he said he failed.

Even Kerry would be better, and that´s saying a lot.

Obama seems to gravitate toward obnoxious egotistical social climbers. Hmmmm. Wonder why...

An affirmative action hire with a ´tude and delusions of brilliance...where have we heard that before?

Considering we have become the nation of We the Minorities, of and for Minorities, you hae to be amazed that Jay Carney has his job.

Susan Rice demonstrates an academic who knows nothing about the real world. She´s the female version of Obama.

But she´s ´of color´ so qualifications don´t really matter as much as the appearance that she should have the job, ´just ´cuz´.

2043..... right around the epochal corner.

Please! Any personality disorder is a resume enhancer if your a screaming liberal. By definition, liberalism is a personality disorder.

And if your looking for a nasty piece of work, just consider who Obama is considering for the Court of St James.

Liberal ideology IS the main personality disorder. Being sneering, rude, condescending, insufferably priggish are all side effects. Just look around from Bill Maher to the ultimate One.

I don´t want to read about her personality anymore, I want to read how she obtained her wealth in the millions by the age of 48. Having money is not good you know. Oh, wait...

When she´s not being undiplomatic, her record shows her to be ineffective.

She is so ghetto (just like her boss).

I see good Old Lloyd is still trying to sell the "she was only reporting on the best intelligence available at that time" meme. Aside from her personality, which is condescending and nasty, she is a pathplogical liar. There is no way any semi-coherent person could buy the idea that she did not know she was lying when she became the face of the Obama administration for all things Benghazi.

#13, To Leftists, lying in the service of higher Leftist objectives is not only permissible to them, it is about mandatory. Zippy and his fictional WOT success narrative had to be protected, and most certainly protected in the run up to the election. To him, she is a fine loyal soldier who is taking one for the team in terms of the harm to her career path. To us, she appears to be a lying lackey, deserving of only our disdain.

Let´s not miss the point, the skin color is right.

That American blacks would re-elect Obama and support Rice as SoS when she so failed to even try to help their sisters and brothers in Rwanda says a lot about the ignorance of these black supporters of Obama.

The Mayan end times can´t come soon enough.

The New York Times article said it all. She has a checkered past of very poor performance and is not worthy of the appointment.

When you have liberals take over this is the best and the brightest, bird or no bird. Look at the recent dis-appointments. Kagan and her zero judicial experience, one Senator that did sicko sex skits on SNL, another Senator thinks he fought in the jungles of Vietnam, another Senator-elect that poses as an American Indian that even the Indians denounce, and a Senator that hires an illegal sex offender but gets away with it because the FBI delays the arrest from the public. And each Democrat gets a pass by the media we no longer watch. The advertisers for these media circuses must know that no one is watching their 30 second multi-million dollar ad buys.

Van Jones in drag!

In the Obama administration, even a lunatic can look normal.

Ah -- another demorat female who rode some coat/tails....

She´s in good company with hillary and moooooochelle...

LZK

Sure, she´s an incompetent, appeasing, naive fool, like her boss, but "because she is black, you cannot attack."

On the other hand, they don´t come any whiter than Hillary, and she´s made a complete manure pile of everything she´s ever touched.

We´re screwed, as we´re seeing more and more each day.

Lindsey Graham and McCain don´t have the guts to grill 0 on Benghazi so they beat up on the lackey Rice, somebody 0 is more than willing to sacrifice. What happened to the Lindsey of Clinton impeachment days, when he was a tough SOB who didn´t flinch? I liked him back then.

Hillary is trying to destroy her. It´s working. The President must be very annoyed. Good. I guess. I detest all of them.

A Treasury secretary who doesn´t pay his taxes . . . an AG who will only enforce the laws he likes . . . why wouldn´t Fauxbama give us a Sec´y of State who´s difficult, foul-mouthed, etc.?

If anyone still expects rationality or what-is-best-for-the-countryness from this Chicago pol, they need to reenter reality.

Flipping de BIRD seems to be de favorite pastime with de black pols -- even the pResident does this deed!

With such HIGH class turkeys have we been blessed (sarc-off)!

Thugocracy has replaced Meritocracy

Ms. Rice´s agressive masculine gait when she is seen walking gives credence to the descriptive negative comments here. Beware of prancers - it is a bit of body language that gives you away. I´ve seen it so many times in my work life.

She was involved in telling Sudan no thanks on Bin Laden.

From above poster: why wouldn´t Fauxbama give us a Sec´y of State who´s difficult, foul-mouthed, etc.?

He´s already got an established record on this. At least it looks like she washes her hair (see other thread on PIAPS).

Rice is a walking international incident waiting to happen.

This head-case will fit right into this administration. I say let her through!

Affirmative action at it´s worse. Obama, Holder, how many more are in positions way over their heads? Upper level management is out of their skill levels. The damage these incompetents are doing to the nation is incalculable.

Turkey-t.urds of a Feather...

flock together.

Bamster wants other sick stooges to surround him...
maintains his comfort zone, doncha know.

If half-baked Rice makes it to SoS...
it´ll be Two Dogs in a row there.
And Holder makes it a Three Dog Knight.

"Losers Convention" Badministration with DC in its death-grip.
We´ll be lucky even to make it to the Mayan Calendar Cliffdive...
let alone the Rose Bowl Day.
A happily ever afterlife is lookin´ better an´ better these daze...
Dis place goin´ to da dawgz...

1. I can´t agree with any who say, "let Obama appoint whomever he wants and take the consequences."

The consequences fall on us, and worse, on our kids. I think we owe them very breath of opposition to Obama we can draw. In a great stain on our history, Obama will likely escape anything and everything remotely resembling a just consequence.

2. A "prig" does not "g[i]ve the finger to her colleague Richard Holbrooke during a... high-level meeting.

"Prig" a. A person who demonstrates an exaggerated conformity or propriety, especially in an irritatingly arrogant or smug manner. b. a person who displays or demands of others pointlessly precise conformity, fussiness about trivialities, or exaggerated propriety, especially in a self-righteous or irritating manner. c. Synonyms: prude, puritan, bluenose.

Emphasis added.

No, not a "prig."

One of the lame networks just broke into a program with "breaking news" that she has voluntarily withdrawn her consideration for Secretary of State. I wouldn´t be so sure it was all her decision alone. Letting her announce her own withdrawal might be a soft way of letting Bamster off the hook and avoids outright, overt rejection of the candidate. Wink wink Bamster.

Well sometimes just like the old video game "Phoenix" if one fires away long enough the house is going to explode. We won on this one.

Holbrooke probably deserved it, but it is still undiplomatic to do.

Well, I guess we can put Rice behind us now. It´s mid afternoon now and I just head on FNC that Rice has removed herself from consideration to be Sec. of State. Oh gee, that just really hurts my feelings./s This is one more of Obozo´s clowns we can live without.

Possibly Susan Rice should audition to make another of those "Witch in a Broom Factory" Commercials.
Seems as if she has demonstrated an ability to fly off the handle.

Well said, #33.

Was Rice really just a stalking horse for a Kerry nomination. Everyone´s so relieved it will now be Kerry or, even, jeeez, Chuckie Hagel. They´re both ridiculous choices that should be fought, but at least they´re not Rice... Yea, right.

Can you imagine one time UN Ambassador Adlai Stevenson flipping anyone the bird, or what he would think of someone who did? The Dems have come a long, long way.
