BloggeRhythms 2/8/2013

A few days ago, around Hillary’s last day as Secretary of State, I wrote up my perception that other than incessant travel, she actually did zip, nada, zero for the past four years, which is pretty much consistent with the rest of her life up to now. Because other than marrying Bill, I’m unaware of any other accomplishments.
 
And then today I came across the following item from the Weekly Standard via Drudge:  “Neither the secretary of defense nor the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff spoke to the secretary of state during the 8-hour attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012. At a Thursday hearing in the Senate, Republican Ted Cruz asked both Leon Panetta and Martin Dempsey, "In between 9:42 p.m., Benghazi time, when the first attacks started, and 5:15 am, when Mr. Doherty and Mr. Woods lost their lives, what conversations did either of you have with Secretary Clinton?"
 
"We did not have any conversations with Secretary Clinton," Panetta responded.
 
"And General Dempsey, the same is true for you?" Cruz asked. Dempsey confirmed this. 
 
So, if nothing else, at least Hillary’s consistent, because right up to the very end she wasn’t around to participate in anything important. But at least that proves my point from last week which was, in her particular case it really doesn’t matter much if she shows up or not, because nobody misses her, cares, or needs her at all.
 
That’s it for today folks.
 
Adios
