#1 How dare you proles press me for a straight answer, the truth, or additional information. Nobody talks to me that way. Fokoff, I'm outta here.

#2 Maybe she had too use the bathroom.

#3 We can see why campus "sex abuse" is so high on the priority list.

There's not one of this regime that isn't a permanent "frat boy", male or female. If the US isn't embroiled in WWIV or a civil war by the time this crew is gone it will be a miracle.

#5 Seems to me I've heard, "I am not at liberty to divulge such information" in the past. Maybe she never heard it?

#6 The problem is there are no adults in charge.

#7 Susan Rice is not qualified for the current employment, just as she wasn't qualified for the UN Ambassador gig. She is there to shut down the lying about Benghazi probes and the video excuse she promoted on behalf of the lying administration.
Might as well bring Sandy Burglar back to stonewall the job for all the difference it would make.

#8 I want to know why we haven't heard from Samantha Powers. You know, the advisor who said that the only wars the U.S. should consider were the humanitarian wars to help other people.

Okay then: does not defeating the ISIS constitute a humanitarian war? How about defeating Boko Haram? And so on.

Neither Rice nor Powers is qualified to walk my cocker spaniel.

#9 Steve can you name any senior admin. official that is qualified to walk your dog?

This crew doesn't have one person qualified to feed our fish no less the cats and dog.

#10 While I believe in the Heinlein Postulate that you should never attribute to malice that which can more easily be explained by stupidity, I still have this creepy feeling we are being fed political theater and nonsense to divert us from something far more odious.

I am starting to believe this is "wag the dog" behavior. A press that six months ago would have pilloried nowhere man for mentioning military activity in Iraq is now literally beating the drum for the bombs to fall.

Taken with the long delay in action by the administration, I believe this is part of a more complex PR campaign to mask an issue that would bring the house of cards crashing down around the ears of the administration.

Something is going on behind the curtain...guesses?

Bingo! And that would be the U.S. and Iranian coalition.

#13 Bingo again on the Iranian nuke sellout ostensibly to get their boots on the ground in Iraq. Ask Jawn F'n Kerry (Lurch) if he can define treason.

#14 Before angrily leaving the podium she faced the East, made a strange hand gesture, and quietly muttered Annut Coeptis.

#17 The POWER of a Free Press if grounded in Truth.

#18 You had to bring up the TRUTH. Ya, its out there. The issue with the administration and the press is neither of them want to talk about the hard questions. Ask them a hard question and they give you a truthful answer, for some other unasked question. They wont answer the questions asked. Its like watching two conversations. "So Mr. Speaker how was your drive in today?" "Well, Mr. Reporter, the DOW is up today because of my bill I passed a few weeks ago!" "Next question please."
