If you're comparing Farakahn to Zakaria, I'll assume you didn't read the article.

I just figured he's going for the "all Arab." "no infidel" approach.

The fact that you catagorized Clinton's cabinet by their sex and instinctive dislike for them rather than by their actual post says far more about you and your analytical abilities than anything you've posted.

Reno went about 6'4" with a frame to match. She had dark hair. Albright weighed about the same as Reno but was 5 foot if she stood on a stool. Albright had silver hair. She was a Jewish war baby saved from the Hollocost by being adopted into a gentile family. Reno was a a career prosecutor in Florida. Other than both being women in Clinton's cabinet, they aren't too hard to tell apart.

Rice is a sharp cookie. I get the impression that she has done a lot behind the scenes that has never hit the press. She is tough as nails and doesn't back down, which is a welcome change. She faces an uphill battle on the international scene thanks to all the damage Albright did.


Man this speaks volumes. Every single sentence is completely, factually false (except for Albright not being a very good SoS, I agree somewhat there). I now have a better idea of where you are coming from Chris.

I remember watching the cabinet walk in for a "state of the union" address & thinking that it looked like the circus was in town.

Zakaria is about as much of a Muslim as I am a Christian. Sure I go to church sometimes, but it's a very minor part of my life.

He touched on this in his Playboy interview.

This will make you vomit. I once saw Albright in spandex shorts bend down to tie her shoe. Yes, really.

Anyway, Johnny Reno was as bad an AG as Albright was a Sec. State. But neither were in office when Ruby Ridge happened. However, Reno was involved later on when Randy Weaver was prosecuted and then sued the gov't. and settled with the gov't. admitting no wrongdoing. And at that time, ATF was part of Treasury and totally beyond Reno's reach. Now ATF IS part of DOJ and thus answers to the AG.
