Are you saying Bush picked her because she was black or a woman? How insulting.
She was one of the country's foremost Russian foreign policy scholars/experts. She worked under Scrowcroft on the NSC. After Standford where she was "just" the freaking procost, she became national security advisor and then became Sec of State.
That is a completely appropriate career trajectory.
Are you a minority Husker? Because I am. I am very brown. And despite graduating with Honors in Economics from Texas, despite finishing at the top of my class at Navy OCS and intel school, and despite graduating with 5 distinctions at Yale a colleague told me I got where I am because of affirmative action.
I didn't have to run 1 mile while others ran 1.5 in our PFT evaluation because I am brown, the correctly calculated black scholes price for an option was the same for me, a brown person, as it was for everyone else in b-school. And this f'in Hillary voter had the gall to say I'm only where I am because of affirmative action when he himself is absolutely helpless without me. Helpless in excel modeling, helpless in financial analysis, helpless in research and relationship management. He had the gall to tell this to me, a veteran that went to Iraq twice so his spoiled a$& could be comfortable here making a lot of money.
This whining about diversity dilutes the accomplishments of minorities that earn their way. And that is 95% of minorities. I am so sick of this ******** white guilt RACIST patronizing. That's a ******* trigger for you.
