17. This is pure bullsh!t. All of a sudden we have all these anonymous leaks about Rice's temperament

and the linked article compares her to a drunk who was not confirmed 20+ years ago. Give me a break. Last week the right was leaking info about her conflict of interest due to the fact that she and her husband held stock in the Canadian company which the State Dept war reviewing related to the XL Pipeline aimed to poison the water because she as a black woman dared have a few dollars. I think the link was intentional to disqualify her based on racial resentment. The fact that the Stock Ownership was reported in her federal disclosure requirement forms shows just how truly conflicted she really is for actually reporting what she's supposed to report. Unlike Paul Ryan who had to amend his tax returns after being vetted by the Romney campaign and having to pay additional taxes for some income he and his wife conveniently happened to forget.
