(15,239 posts)is that the attacks on Rice are so strange. I mean, she appeared on a few talk shows giving information based on talking points provided to her from the CIA. The intelligence changed later, and so now what Rice said is out of date. So what?? Talk about a big nothing. Because that is the way most liberals see it, they figure there must be another reason. A more sinister reason. I think there isn't. It's just dumb, fighting for fighting's sake. Since most people have tuned out politics since the election, and mostly care about their job and maybe their health care, I can't see how this fight affects much of anything.
I'm past the point of stressing about who gets to be SoS. I feel more distressed that someone like Maureen Dowd is now buying into the RW crap in her column about Susan Rice. No idea why the media, after hearing crap week after week, suddenly without anything to write about, feel the need to give oxygen to this. I was even annoyed with Jon Stewart's take on it, basically comparing Susan Rice to Condi Rice. Sorry, NO WAY. C. Rice was the bloody national security adviser prior to being SoS, so her statements were much worse, plus 9/11 and her failures there.
