Dumber Than Aldumb?
Madeline Aldumb used to be my choice for the worst U.S. secretary of state in modern history, but given Mrs. Bill Clinton's headlining of the Obama Administration Great American Apology World Tour and the associated flubs, I'd have to say that she owns this title in spades. Admittedly, her last name doesn't lend itself to the convenient expression of the depth of her stupidity as Aldumb's does, but the title of worst secretary of state definitely fits. There are so many blunders in the last 60 days or so it's hard to pick one. But I guess the recent attempt on Greta Van Sustern's show to beg anyone in North Korea to call her ranks right there at the top:
VAN SUSTEREN: Back home, headlines now about North Korea, and so I'm going to try to pry some answers out of you on North Korea. What are we going to do about North Korea?CLINTON: Well, you and I were just talking before the cameras started rolling because you're one of the few people I know who's actually been there and who understand that it is a -- you know, it's a different environment.
You've got to figure out how to convince them to act in what we consider to be, you know, the interests of the people of North Korea but also the interests of the rest of the world.
I have been very clear, President Obama has been very clear, we would like to get back to the kind of talks that led to the initial steps in their de-nuclearization. The six-party framework that involves all of the neighbors, each of whom have a stake in what happens in North Korea -- we have offered that. I sent word that we would like to have our special envoy for North Korean policy go to Pyongyang. They didn't want him to come.
So we're working hard. And if they're watching you, I'm sure that since you were there, you made a big impression, went to a karaoke bar in Pyongyang.
(LAUGHTER)
CLINTON: They probably still remember you. If they're watching -- if anybody from North Korea is watching this program with you, Greta...
Ah, yes -- those six-party talks worked so well. Perhaps if we grovel some more, whine about violating United Nations resolutions, and threaten some more of those deadly UN "sanctions" the little pot-bellied butcher of North Korea will just roll over and play dead for us. It's obvious The Missus has him eating out of the palm of her hand.
Yes folks, we are now experiencing what us rational-thinking conservatives have been saying we would get if we elected a hard-left "community organizer" as president: The type of groveling foreign policy where we travel the world simultaneously apologizing to our enemies and pissing off our allies. Once again, as we did in the Clinton and Carter administrations, we are becoming the laughing stock of the world, widely viewed as too big, dumb and stupid to decide whether we are going to be the leader of the free world or some confused introspective giant apologizing for every percieved slight we've ever made to regimes that would just as soon see us all dead. And the leader of our current effort to grovel at the feet of the unworthy is that inexperienced lefty buffoon Mrs. Bill Clinton.
To re-cap some of the foreign policy "highlights" of the last 60 days or so:
1. We've sent a big video kiss to the regime that called our staunchest ally a rotting corpse, wants finish the Holocaust Hitler started and has sworn to destroy us.
2. Left our ally Poland twisting in the wind while begging the Soviet-style Russian regime to help us talk to the aforementioned Middle East Hitler if we give up our right to defend ourselves and our allies with a missile shield.
3. Went to Beijing to kiss the ring of that ruthless, murderous regime. Of course we wouldn't want pesky little issues like human rights, forced abortions and killing dissidents to get in the way of begging China to buy more of our debt while they continue their massive military build-up.
4. Decided to close our Guantanamo Bay terrorist prison without any idea what we were going to do with the 250+ terrorists we captured on the battlefield trying to kill our soldiers. Our distinguished attorney general has said that perhaps some will be coming to live in a neighborhood near you.
5. Begged Kim Jong-il to call Mrs. Bill Clinton if he happened to see her on Fox News, presumably so that they can talk about that long-range missile he's testing that could end up carrying a warhead. Maybe we can just offer to sell Japan up the river if he just promises not to launch on Alaska.
These are just a few examples of what Madeline Aldumb's successor to the title of Worst Secretary of State in Recent History calls "a new way of doing business". It would be laughable were it not so serious.
No wonder our allies don't think they can trust us. Imagine being an Israeli witnessing The Tainted Messiah playing kissy-face with Iran and giving $900 million to Hamas. What kind assurance does this type of idiocy give Israel about the strength of U.S./Israeli relations? What can Israel realistically expect from a U.S. president who used to have as his babysitter the former media chief of the Palestinian Liberation Organization? Perhaps a better question is how long will it take for a rational conservative president to undo the damage these buffoons will do in the foreign policy arena in the next four years?

Guys like you are writing the epitaph of the modern conservative movement. I wish you had a wider audience. Your insane screeds read like a madman's excremental scrawlings on his cell wall.
Your interpretation of Clinton on Van Sustren's show is clinical proof that you are delusional. Seek help.
