Samantha Power was, some time ago, it seems, one of this blogger’s favorite candidates to be what she has become: UN Ambassador replacing Susan Rice. What I’ve always liked about Ms. Power, from a distance, is a keen mix of fearless observation, rapier intellect, and incredible good looks. I’d also, long ago, wrote that she should be a part of the Obama campaign, and then, to my surprise, she was.
Ok, let’s get this out of the way. I’m a big fan of any women who sends a message, without trying, that a woman can be intelligent and hot. Given the need to get over it, I’m not interested in any muting of my observation. I merely enjoy saying what everyone else is thinking, and pissing off others in the process. But back to Samantha Power.
Rather than look at Ms. Power’s many lofty credentials – Founding Executive Director of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government, Senior Adviser To The Obama Campaign, and author of a number of books on foreign policy – the media, or some, chose to focus on her comment in 2007, calling then-Senator and Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton “a monster.” For why, visit Zennie62.com here: Samantha Power, UN Ambassador: “Monster” Comment Was Right, At The Time
