"I broke my elbow not my larynx." That was the sarcastic soundbite ABC's Martha Raddatz obtained from Hillary Rodham Clinton as the Secretary of State scoffed at reports that she had been marginalized by foreign policy rivals in the Obama Administration. Raddatz was traveling with her diplomatic entourage in New Delhi but the Secretary wanted to discuss North Korea and Iran, not India. Foggy Bottom is "still willing to talk" to Teheran, despite its "deadly crackdown on demonstrators," Raddatz reported. As for Pyongyang, Rodham Clinton chose condescension over conciliation: "Maybe it is the mother in me or the experience that I have had with small children and unruly teenagers and people who are demanding attention--do not give it to them."
