… shows worse judgment on the part of Barack than his consorting with the sleazy Rezko. Rezko, after all, was being used for cheap real estate, campaign cash, etc. – standard fare, alas, for our politicians. Power – who is such an undiplomatic nitwit that she would call Hillary Clinton a “monster ^[1]” to the press in the midst of a presidential campaign – is an Obama “senior foreign policy advisor ^[2],” of all things.

UPDATE: If I were Obama, I’d fire Ms. Power today. Let’s see what he does. In a sense, it’s a defining moment.

MORE: Power has resigned. ^[3]
