Dueling Quotes on Foreign Policy Experience: After Some Debate, MSNBC's Tucker Carlson Says Clinton More Prepared than Obama

by D. CupplesYou could have knocked me out with a feather.  In an interview with former State Department official James Rubin MSNBC's Tucker Carlson broke ranks with MSNBC's  pro-Obama contingent and conceded that Hillary Clinton is a good diplomat.  Carlson also said:

"Of course she's better prepared than Barack Obama.  I'm not arguing that.... The guy's been in the Senate for 20 minutes." (See video below, which includes a Saturday Night Live spoof).

I just went onto my porch and checked the sky for farm animals.  There weren't any.  Rubin also explained that Hillary Clinton, while not a major player, did help in Northern Ireland and China while she was First Lady.

Thanks to No Quarter for pointing out the video clip -- and for discussing Hillary Clinton's work related to Kosovo.

Yesterday, the Obama campaign put out a long memo challenging Hillary Clinton's experience in the foreign-policy arena.
