Lets face it, we all knew this was bound to happen.  You have a politician as secretary of state and they're bound to say something they shouldn't.  Hillary catching an attitude with a Nigerian student is bad enough, and I thought it was unprofessional.  And which is really stupid misplaced over-reaction considering the translator got the student's words wrong.  Now, she is overseas implying that Jeb Bush rigged the 2000 election.

Democrats can argue amongst themselves about who rigged the 2000 election and how right they think she is.  Even if you think she's right, that's nothing a secretary of state should bring up.  First, comparing our democracy to that of Nigeria's is an overstatement to say the least.  We have some problems but in all, after that election half the country was satisfied with the results.  But, whether she's right or wrong, why even bring it up.

Whether the election was rigged or not, that's a matter of opinion and perception.  Her job is to promote diplomacy and represent the President.  Even the state department isn't taking credit for that statement.  I think an easier answer would have been, we have a few problems too.  That's all she had to say.  Now conservatives are going to be whining on TV about the comment, the Nigerians probably think we have comparable election problems, and she comes off as unprofessional, again.  She was doing so good up until the last few days.  I wonder what happened….Bill Clinton maybe…
