The State Department spokeswoman who played a pivotal role in deleting portions of the Benghazi talking points has been tapped by President Obama for a plum new post, bagging a nomination to become assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs.

(*JUST SHAKING MY HEAD*)

Victoria Nuland is a career foreign service officer who had held many high-level positions, including under George W. Bush. But her nomination to handle the European portfolio will likely be seen by Republicans as an example of the president flipping the bird their way.

* WHICH OF COURSE IT IS. THIS IS NOT A WOMAN I WANT PROMOTED. INDEED, I'D LIKE TO SEE HER TAKE EARLY RETIREMENT. HOW CAN WE TRUST HER AFTER WHAT SHE DID?

Senate confirmation in the current environment would seem unlikely, at best.

During the process of whittling the original CIA talking points down, a reference to participation in the Benghazi attack by al Qaeda-linked elements was deleted. Nuland had expressed “serious concerns” about mentioning the terrorists.

(*SMIRK*)

* WHY...? SERIOUSLY, FOLKS... WHY...???

And she also asserted that including references to previous attacks against foreigners in Benghazi “could be abused by members to beat the State Department for not paying attention to Agency warnings.”

* SO...? THE CLINTON-STATE DEPARTMENT DESERVES THE BEATING! AND HAD IT BEEN THE ROMNEY STATE DEPARTMENT... I'D BE SAYING THE SAME!

Nuland was particularly aggressive, pursuing the matter until the concerns of her superiors were satisfied.

* HER "SUPERIORS" BEING...??? (*SMIRK*) HINT: SECRETARY OF STATE HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON; PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES BARRACK HUSSEIN OBAMA; THE PEOPLE REPORTING TO CLINTON AND OBAMA BUT ABOVE NULAND.

(*SHRUG*)
