Ambassador Susan Rice skips UN meeting on Libya violence

It's not like anything important is going on in Libya or anything. Besides, she had a far more important appointment. Rice was attennding a UN panel discussion in South Africa on global sustainability. Priorities my friends. The planet has a fever. Far more important than real life stuff like civil wars and genocide.
