My guess is that Samantha Power lost her job for being quoted saying that neither Hillary nor her guy, Obama, were experienced enough to be trusted to answer the red phone at 3 a.m., which she did a couple of days ago. Samantha Power also has a closet full of “blame America first” baggage, and has left an extensive paper trail saying as much (not to mix metaphors too violently).

As for calling Hillary a “monster,” that is undiplomatic, to be sure, but not even close to the names Hillary has been called by everyone to the left or right of her, everyone who has questioned her ethics and her sense of entitlement, and even some of her stauchest supporters. Tina Fey, for instance, did a wonderful riff last week on SNL on how “bitches get things done.”
