Yeah So Susan Rice, Huh?
— Ace

Obvious observation that the media somehow fails to notice: People who make mistakes do not get promoted.

People who do exactly what you told them to do -- especially if it was a noxious thing -- get promoted.

The media apparently doesn't understand the basic principles of social interaction or the boss-employee relationship. At least when it suits them to not understand it.

Noah Rothman compares the media's treatment of the loyalty-based promotion of Dr. Rice to the loyalty-based promotion of Dr. Rice.

Reports have long suggested that Dr. Rice is highly regarded by the president and has enjoyed his confidence and support even before he occupied the Oval Office. In spite of her direct involvement in an debacle overseas, the president’s decision to promote her to a high-level position in the White House signals his disregard for the concerns of his critics. Rice’s promotion is as much a reward for her loyalty as it is an acknowledgement of her ability – probably more so, in fact. No, we’re not talking about Dr. Susan Rice who was tapped on Wednesday to become President Barack Obama’s next National Security Advisor. These are the themes that the press harped on when President George W. Bush promoted another Dr. Rice in his second term: Condoleezza Rice.

“Rice appears to have been picked to run the State Department as much for her fierce personal loyalty to Bush as for her own foreign-policy views,” opined Inter Press Service Washington Bureau Chief Jim Lobe in November, 2004. “Many State Department officials expressed serious concerns about Rice’s appointment.”

This is what I call one of them-there You Thought I Was Talking About This Thing But I Was Really Talking About This Thing things that people in the media like to do. I think this is a good use of it, though. The media are quite smitten with this new Dr. Rice.

16 GOP overreach is causing the GOP to lose independents to the democrats and worrying about who did what in Benghazi or who lied to the America people, or who covered it up (which used to be worse than the crime) is only going to get Robert Bauer to sic the Justice Department on you.

25 yeah the left is basically  saying Bush  grabbed C. Rice, because He wanted yes men on the job.

I found that odd, Condi never seemed like a Yes . person.
She is quite educated wordly and a woman with her own opinions.

I think She was chosen as any one you want on your team as One that has expertise  on Their job app.

so I am now assuming    Obama's- Rice  pick truly is a yes girl

41 I wonder if November 2012 was the red wedding for the GOP. We were full of hope, ready to return to throne and set everything right, only to have the AFLCIO, ACORN, various lefty judges, the blackpanthers, etc etc. come in and slaughter our last hope. Because this is more like drain circling right now rather than fighting back. Note to the GOP, we aren't losing because we believe in things, crazy things, like school choice or tort reform or defending the border or non-suffocating regulations...we losing because we've insitutionalized bad left wing behavior, we've allowed state after state to become california where changing demographics has enshrined wave after wave of elections to candidates who worship Mao rather that Washington. so, whatever, let Roose Bolton take over as NSA...why fight this one either.

appointing her solves several problems

1. it makes it impossible to oppose her, no senate confirmation

 

2. it rewards her which will ensure her loyalty

What difference, at this point, does it make?  The whole country is run  by the whims of that ignorant  c*nt Valerie  Jarrett.  Does it really matter who the National Security  Advisor is?

 

Even  if we got General James  Mattis in there, it would not make a damn bit of difference, because as soon as a concern is brought up, Barry will swivel  his head on his fucking pencil neck over  to Valerie to see what she  thinks he should do.  He brought that vile, leathery, repeating   piece of Chicago   shit up there to do his thinking for him.  Because he doesn't have TIME for that shit.  He's got  golf outings  and vacations to plan.

 

Congratulations, America.  You got the fucking Blacktopia  you always said you wanted.  And now the country  is run like New Orleans.  How do you like it?  Maybe for 2016  we could  get the old-boy network from Detroit  to run the country, then  we could just hurry  the fuck up and burn our standard of living down to Jamaica's level.

Now, I did a spit take when I heard it, but maybe I haven't been to enough Jewish funerals.  I didn't realize it was supposed to be a stand-up routine.  It strikes me that calling somebody the world's worst grandfather, in addition to comparing him to the devil, is a terribly inappropriate thing to do at someone's funeral.

164 More: Rice persuaded the administration to purge the State Department's and CIA's Rwanda-related memos of such terms as "genocide" and "ethnic cleansing." “If we use the word 'genocide' and are seen as doing nothing, what will be the effect on the November congressional election?" she wondered aloud. Then-lieutenant colonel Tony Marley recalls that he and his colleagues at the State Department "could believe that people would wonder that, but not that they would actually voice it." Rice today claims not to remember having posed the question, but concedes that "if I said it, it was completely inappropriate, as well as irrelevant." There's that word again. Irrelevant.

NSA is a figurehead, whoever is in there is going to be doing obama's bidding 100%, its not like "oh no, this woman is going to do terrible things!"- they are going to get done anyway. It's a disgrace someone like this holds high office in the USA, but that's been going on since Clinton at least: people who despise our country and 99% of our citizens are in charge of executing policy of the USA.

199 Rice also called for the use of American military power to intervene -- as part of a large, well-funded United Nations peacekeeping force -- directly in African conflicts such as the one in the Darfur region of Sudan. Advocating the imposition of a no-fly zone and the bombing of Sudanese aircraft, airfields, and military and intelligence assets, Rice said: “f the United States fails to gain UN support [for these measures], we should act without it.” Bwwwahaha, the irony.

I, for one, will be *extremely* upset if they use this only for some perceived political advantage. That would signal that their only problem with the IRS scandal, and Benghazi, and the AP spying, and even (since we mentioned it this morning) the GM Bailout were that the "wrong side" did them. F That. If they want to show that they oppose such things in principle, then they must take a principled stand against them. Even if that *looks* like the more politically dangerous thing to do.

208 most U.S. students were "taught American history, literature, art, drama, and music largely from a white, western European perspective," Bullshit. That ended a long time ago and now shitty literature, art, drama and music from "diverse" sources have pushed out the truly worthy classics. Moreover, even that is a lie. Classical education includes Greece and Rome as well as great Russian writers. Decidedly not "western European". Sorry that Britain, France and Spain dominated the 17th to 19th centuries. In fact, they adopt Rice's thesis so thoroughly that instead of including great Chinese and Indian works, we end up with modern bullshit. Also, why focus on the wussy nonsense fields. How about math, DOCTOR Rice? Or do you not focus on math because it was too hard for you? "The message is ‘your history, your culture, your language and your literature are insignificant. And so are you.’" As can be seen by my nic, my family history is Swiss German and I was taught precisely nothing about the Swiss and very little about Germans other than (1) Composers (2) the Kaiser and (3) Hitler. History is important when things happen. If you don't have any innovations or wars, there isn't much to study.

"The greatest evil in omitting or misrepresenting Black history, literature, and culture in elementary or secondary education is the unmistakable message it sends to the black child," Rice elaborated.

 

This irritates the living shit out of me.

 

When I was in school, I did not look at what my teachers gave me to read and say, "Hey.   None of these things   were written by white women.   Clearly they don't think white women are important!"      I understood     at a    subconscious level   that    what counts     as good literature has     nothing to do with who wrote it and everything to do with what was written.        Shakespeare was not great because he was a white male -- he was great because of the works he produced.

 

So what    Susan Rice-a-Roni is saying is that minorities -- particularly    black children -- are too stupid and thin-skinned to recognize that     they are being asked to read    "The Wealth of Nations" because    it's an important economic text,   not because they are being oppressed by     a   patriarchal white supremacist canon.

 

But Susan Rice-a-Roni is too stupid to know that herself, so why should I expect her to expect any spark of intelligence from the younger generations?
