Makes Me Wanna Puke

Reading this gobsmackingly idiotic AP story one would think that Samantha Power's main claim to fame in life was calling Hillary Clinton a monster. Not the fact that she teaches at Harvard, or wrote a best-selling book about genocide (think about it - a best-selling book about genocide), that she became a respected war correspondent when still in her mid-twenties, or that she had the perspicacity to get on board the Obama high-speed elevator before it left the ground floor... none of these accomplishments are mentioned, let alone mentioned in the very first sentence of the piece... no, what's really important about Ms. Power is that once she slipped up in an interview and said something slightly stupid (for which she apologized profusely) that she will never live down in the eyes (lens?) of the philistine gotcha political media.
