#1 Hill is only the latest American diplomat to believe he could disarm Kim Jong Il, but Hill believed it in the way that John Hinckley believed he could win Jodie Fosters love.

But, other than that ...

#2 I skimmed over a lot to get to this -

To listen to Hills appearance before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee is to realize that members of both parties know almost nothing about Hill, his record, or his background. I dont know when Ive ever seen ignorance clothed so pretentiously. The degree to which the august senators on the Committee have paid no attention to the conduct of policies they are charged with overseeing is depressing and stupefying, and yet it all somehow still makes for dreadfully dull viewing. So naturally, Ill link to the entire two-hour hearing. I will confess that I did not listen to the entire thing, but Id like to think that by now, some recently rendered Algerian jihadist in an underground cell in Albania is, and hes about to break.

But now, I've given up.
