US too arrogant, Pt 693274

Goddammit. I turn on the tv for some news and the only station that I have with news is NBC, and they had to go and put Katie Couric on with some broad from the Foreign Relations Committee. Ms. Rachel Bronson was billed as a "Senior Policy Analyst" but she came off more as one of those girls who was in all the clubs, whose main preoccupation (when not backstabbing her way to the top of every high school group) was bothering all the independent-minded students in the school. ("How can we draw you out of your shell, Andrea?" "You're such a bright girl, you should join some clubs so you'll have someting to do.") Here she is, very Concerned that the administration has pissed off all the foreigners. ("In the previous Gulf War we talked to China!") Yeah, daddy Bush's administration was much more attentive to the world's "needs." That's why we are in this lovely situation today.

Update: She's back on, cooing about how the Iraqis need someone to cuddle them into the dictator-free world. For chrissake, they aren't five-year-olds going to kindergarten for the first time, they don't need self-esteem counseling. Please, someone keep hot, moist paragons like this away from the Iraqis.

Now, I'm sure this is only a coincidence, but it seems as though anytime Katie wants to hear from the administration, she almost always winds up with some retread from the Clinton administration who can put things in their proper context. But I'm sure this is only coincidental.

Do you mean the Council on Foreign Relations? I don't see congressional committee staff saying something so idiotically pretentious.

I could swear it was "Foreign Relations Committee," but I have lousy reception with my antenna, and I was watching it out of corner of my eye, so it could be the other.

Can't we just shoot people who think the Iraqis need self esteem boost. They need freedom. We need freedom from psych majors who put together a motivational speaker spiel and peddle it to Katy Couric (who is an awful human being)
