It takes a lot to remove that smirk; that practiced, self-assured "I am soooo much smarter than anyone in the room" condescending smile that Madame Secretary pulls out when on public view, and which she especially employs upon anyone, anywhere, anytime that may question Herself about anything.
Rand Paul did just that. As you watch this video, notice as the camera cuts back to Madame Secretary. She's beaming at the beginning, she's scowling at the end.
Rand Paul did this by simply stating common-sense truth in Plain English. It's worth going to C-Span and listening to just a few minutes of Madame Secretary's tortured employ of the English language to declare she takes responsibility while dodging and evading any specific part of the responsibility.
Contrast that with this little clip, this little memorable moment of Plain-Spoken English in a public forum. It is refreshing to hear. It was devastating to the recipient, because she knew he was spot-on correct, and she knew that everyone listening knew the same thing.
Oh, to have been in the limo with her after the hearing, to hear her river of profanities directed at Senators Paul and Johnson, but especially Senator Paul.
'He's from ***@@@!!! Kentucky, !!!@@@!!!. He's a !!!@@@!!! rube!!!! How dare he!!!! Where's the dirt on him???!!!!???? No illegitimate children??!!!??? No patient groping???!!!??? Well, go invent them!!! Do what it takes!!!! Etc, Etc, Etc...'
