Rice’s was the one scalp the GOP could claim over Benghazi. Now that she’s come roaring back, this time in a role that Republican lawmakers can’t do a damn thing about, of course they’re spitting mad. If Utah Congressman and Benghazi supercritic Jason Chaffetz gets any more up in Rice’s grill, she may need to slap him with a restraining order.
But while Rice may have slipped beyond the GOP’s embittered grasp, Obama’s choice to replace her, Samantha Power, is preparing to sail straight into it as the president’s choice to succeed Rice at the UN—a role that does demand Senators’ advise and consent. This leaves a political wrinkle to ponder: Will gender play any role in Power’s confirmation hearings?
