This morning I watched CNN’s Candy Crowley (State of the Union) get her panties in a wad when Admiral Mullen wouldn’t spell out the U.S.’ “end game” in Libya. Is she too ignorant to realize that it’s not the U.S. military that makes foreign policy in the U.S.—it’s the civilian leadership!
BTW, was anyone else amused when all of the networks appeared to have been caught flat footed with no Portuguese translators on-hand when President of the Federative Republic of Brazil Dilma Rousseff appeared and spoke with Obama during a news conference yesterday?

There are tons of other categories of idiocy.
Quite frankly, I thought CC was one of the better ones, but she must be feeling the pressure from above.
If I were in charge, I'd fire the lot. There isn't a smooth one in the lot.
