-In interviews outside the hearing room, committee members Obama, Chafee, and Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wisc., all said Rice is not doing a good job in persuading the American people to support Iraqi nation building. (Both Chafee and Feingold voted against the Iraq war resolution in 2002.)

“Secretary Rice is a very articulate spokesperson for the administration’s point of view, but after three hours of hearings I don’t think any of us can say what the benchmarks of success are that would allow us to bring our troops home,” Obama told MSNBC.com.

“It’s just not working,” said Feingold. “They keep using the same old mantras…. People don’t believe this idea that somehow this is the logical step in the fight against terrorism. They’ve lost all those arguments.”

1. I understand the sentiment

but we better not underestimate Dr. Rice. You can call her a lot of things, but I don't think fool would be one of them.

3. Oh, she's a fool alright. Being educated doesn't always translate

into being intelligent.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

5. I think she is lacking in what

we call Emotional Intelligence. But she is a very sharp lady in her field. If she is a fool, it is in regards to the wagon she hitched her personal star to.

7. Her "field" was the Cold War/Soviet Union.

She failed in the first job * gave her and she's totally unqualified to be SoS. I'll be glad when she's finally gone from the political scene.

8. I also agree

she is a fine example of the Peter Principle. She should have stayed a Cold War expert.

2. "Fool on the Hill (Senators grill rice for 3 hours)

I also would have trouble convincing people to support this ill conceived war.

4. Dr. Gap got toasted

In the words mixed together from George Carlin and ESPN's Sturat Scott:

Fuckin' boo-yah!!!

6. it is past time these Senators start drilling her --her story is getting

real old!

9. Dear Senators==You don't grill rice!

You steam, boil, or fry it, or maybe bake in a casserole.
