Guess you don't like Mrs. Clinton?

Actually, to the surprise of everyone, she has proved herself to be a very hard working Senator. I've never admired her politics, but I think she's a pretty smart woman, and I suspect she'll be a good SecState.

I've been disappointed in Condoleeza Rice. She's done some good things internally at State, i.e. kicking some of those career foreign service officers out of Washington and back into the field; and kicking them out of the Embassy and making them get involved with the country where they are representing us. I don't know how many career foreign service people you've met, but they tend to pontificate and not do much.
Internationally, I don't see that Condi Rice has done much. I don't know if her relationship with the President has tied her hands or if that she is a Soviet specialist has colored her view of the world, but I thought she would do more. She's very, very intelligent and very accomplished.
