Yes, Crowley is throwing the dreaded g word into his analysis. Not all of the things he mentions are gaffes (surely not her response to that demeaning question in Africa - though a writer for The New Republic seeing that as a gaffe, color me unsurprised). But her comments in Pakistan and about Netanyahu, among others, have indeed attracted much criticism and caused problems for US diplomats. And Crowley's argument is that such behavior shouldn't be unexpected given her campaign.
