It was obvious he was thrown up there unprepared and had to try and defend something that isn't really defensible.

to compare what Powell, Rice, Albright had done in years past does not take into account the changes in rules with the rapid advancement in technology.

To say she or he did the same thing 15 years ago without taking into account the changes in technology and rules should not be dismissed.

I think my favorite was when the reporter nailed him down on security breaches. He made a CYA blanket claim, then had to go, "Uh, I misspoke," after a hilariously awkward silence.

Poor fella.

He obviously doesn't want to throw any fuel on the fire, but he just didn't have many answers at all.

Because there aren't any. Clinton lied her head off. And, as per usual, everyone else has to deal with the fall out.
