Geez Louise.. Susan succumbed to a private meeting with the Three Stooges?

Why on earth did she do that? or why on earth did ANYONE think there would be anything positive from it all? No matter what she said, they would have scurried out of the meeting to trash what she said.

Republicans may have taken a beating a few weeks ago, but they have NOT forgotten how to drive a careening, burning bus into a crowd...

they are experts at Briar Patch politics and dems seem all-too willing to play along with them.

McCain is all but irrelevant now, and he knows it, so WHY give that weasely little scumbag ANY opportunity to blather on.?

He and his little pal, Lindsay, have glombed onto their new "gal-pal" protege, Kelly for some "cover", but their game is the same as it's ever been.. Discredit Obama at ANY opportunity...and discredit anyone he presents as the public face of the administration..

Now, apparently, we have JOE LIEBERMAN weighing in as a lovely parting gift..

'incorrect in a key respect: there was no protest or demonstration in Benghazi,'
and you're suggesting she succumbed? She was and is being diplomatic, so the world can see she IS a diplomat, and the hell with the 3 stooges.

not after being "summonsed" by them to a private woodshed moment, where the THREE of them run to a camera afterward to remark on all HER "mistakes".

You may be titillated by public political fights, but it does not serve the interests of this administration or the nation. Potential nominees generally meet with senators before they are officially nominated. If confirmed, she will have to continue to work with these senators throughout her tenure as Sec. Of State. If she can limit some of their hyperbole, the country will be much better for it.

NOTHING POSITIVE COULD EVER COME FROM THIS! The three stooges want a scandal and no facts are going to get in their way. What a stupid and pathetic move by Obama and Rice to agree to this. This matter was fading away and Rice just opened the door for more attention. WTF?

including but not limited to their personal associations and offered to make the facts public. In fact, if I DON'T call within three minutes, the info would be released into the WWW. So now let's work this out, OK guys?
