Legacy Journal:  13 Thursday Trival Pursuit

Section:

Government

Summary:

OK, so it may be the middle of the summer silly season, but it is never too late to poke fun at pretentious Americans in pants in hot pursuit of injustice around the world starting in Africa.

Main:

Speaking of U.S Secretary of Global Women’s Right’s Hillary Rodham Clinton, LLD, we have noted some angst in her messages from Nigeria and the Congo.

For example:



* Recently, she lectured Nigerians from her podium on the lessons of accepting close election result without violent and used the Florida 2000 example to illustrate her point.

* While visiting the Congo Republic, she was off base in angerly and reflexly responding to a mistranslated student question that appeared to demean her status as foreign policy mover, shaker, and spokeswoman”. “My husband is not the secretary of state; I am.” was the undiplomatic Hillary retort.

* Hillary appears to disremember that the ongoing conflict in eastern Congo is the result of inaction by the World, the UN, and the Clinton administration during the Genocide in Rwanda.

*  If Holbrooke has the Gulf and Pakistan, and Mitchell has the middle East.  One might suppose that Hillary is left with the darkest of sub-Saharan Africa.

* Meanwhile, the VP in charge of administration’s delicate one on one diplomacy, Joe Biden, is on schedule to spend time with his president and the visiting Head of State from Egypt this week.

* Hillary spokeswomen admit that that she may have been stressed by her seven country eleven day expedition.
