A few of the top officials at State Dept. are identified solely by a single letter, which usually indicates their role in the Department.<BR/><BR/>For example, "M" might be the under secretary for management.<BR/><BR/>For a comprehensive listing, see here: http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/rls/dos/1718.htmConsul-At-Armshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04391037582103556978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11084955.post-69669271662448706142008-09-12T02:19:00.000-04:002008-09-12T02:19:00.000-04:00I've quoted you and linked to you here: http://co...I've quoted you and linked to you here: http://consul-at-arms.blogspot.com/2008/09/re-state-department-staffer-responds-to.htmlConsul-At-Armshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04391037582103556978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11084955.post-24323394935281312522008-09-10T14:18:00.000-04:002008-09-10T14:18:00.000-04:00Clueless Rice.

Some folks are erroneously mocking ethnic minorities and accusing them of complaining, not excelling, or taking personal responsibility. Rice has chutzpah. I'm not sure how she can complain about "her" perceived lack of diversity at the State Department of which whe is the top administrator, who makes the decisions. Go figure. If anything, the audience should have felt belittled, beguiled, and condescended. Rice once said that she rathered be ignored than patronized. Trust me, the folks in this audience felt the same way as she uttered those ridiculous words/complaints about the lack of diversity at the State Department.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11084955.post-62361825794880234572008-09-10T09:49:00.000-04:002008-09-10T09:49:00.000-04:00she's black?she's black?Glennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03681336164718681936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11084955.post-81464693982497816152008-09-10T09:16:00.000-04:002008-09-10T09:16:00.000-04:00Do you think that maybe she brought up this whole ...Do you think that maybe she brought up this whole race thing because she might be angling for a job at one of those historically black colleges?
