I saw the Free Beacon article and my jaw dropped. This woman has spent a grand total of two of her 22 years in the workforce in private industry (1990-1992 at McKinsey). The rest has been in government and political think tanks (2001-2002 at Intellibridge, 2002-2008 at Brookings Institute).

Intellibridge was founded by Clinton cronies Anthony Lake and David Rothkopf in 1999. It received a total of $28M in venture capital during its existence from 1999 to 2005.

There can be little doubt Rice got a large chunk of change from Intellibridge. However, she left after only a couple of years. What I assume is under the covers at the Brookings Institute is essentially a payoff mill for liberal policy people to enrich them in return for them serving in government, sort of like Fannie and Freddie and the World Bank.

The simple truth is Rice is a well educated lackey. She has the academic cred to serve in key policy positions, and get multimillion dollar think tank jobs in between, but ultimately she is just a glorified water carrier for Obama.

Obama put Rice at the U.N., elevated the U.N. Ambassador post to Cabinet Level, and made Rice report directly to him to create a Shadow Secretary of State.

If you recall, early in Obama's first term, it was noted with Rice and various directly appointed, and directly reporting liaisons (i.e., George Mitchel to Northern Ireland, etc.), Hillary! was left traveling to every third-world $#!+hole to represent the U.S. She was never allowed to be involved in any serious foreign policy.

Why a non-State Department employee was put on the Sunday Shows, along with campaign personnel (Axelrod and Gibbs), none of which had anything to do with Benghazi, opens up questions.

What was actually going on in Benghazi?

You are mostly right but I think Susan Rice is worth 23 million due to inheriting from her father Emmett Rice who has his own wikipedia entry. He was a banker and the second black to serve at the Federal Reserve. My guess is Emmett Rice got turned onto some fantastic insider deals to make his millions

re: Rice’s history with the Clintons—From an article at huffpo

Rice stunned her colleagues during the 1994 Rwanda genocide by asking what the effect would be on the November (mid-term) election if the administration used the word “genocide” but failed to intervene.

Yep, no real world experience to tie her limpid brain to reality. We need a revolution.
