I think it's a shame that someone with her impressive credentials can be dismissed, or marginalized, because of prejudices stemming from distortions of her record.  Reasonable disagreements can arise with regard to her depicted role(s) in the Bush Administration, but I do not believe anyone can credibly argue that she was incompetent.  On the contrary, I personally think more highly of her for the way in which she handled herself.  She demonstrated integrity and forthrightness, among other admirable traits in what was surely a seriously stressful environment.  Why can't we all just get along?  :(
