From Top of the Ticket:
It may come as a huge surprise for everyone that ex-President Bill Clinton thinks that ex-First Lady Hillary Clinton would be a “really great” secretary of state in the new administration.His reaction comes amid unsourced reports that President-elect Barack Obama is considering his former Democratic primary rival for the post of chief U.S. diplomat. She’s said she just wants to be the best possible New York senator, which is what you’re supposed to say until accepting the next job.
Ex president Bill Clinton indicates it would be a smart move to name his wife Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State in a new Barack Obama administration
She’s been noncommittal herself about the State Department assignment, but added coyly that she wants to do everything to ensure the Obama administration is a success.
H. Clinton would bring instant overseas name recognition to the post and being in the cabinet would foreclose any public second-guessing from the peanut gallery on Capitol Hill.
With a Democrat in Albany as New York governor ready to appoint a Democrat replacement, a sudden Senate vacancy there would not threaten the party’s newly-enlarged majority in Washington.
And having his wife as secretary of state wouldn’t exactly hinder B. Clinton’s access to officials and potential donors overseas either. Not that that would ever cross anyone’s mind.
Plus, with Hillary always traveling…

Just how far does H. Clinton as Sec. State fit into the “Team of Rivals†meme, and how assured will the world be when it realizes B. Obama is being guided (openly) by Doris Kearns Goodwin (plagiarist) on the one hand with J. Biden (plagiarist) on the other?

Maybe this was part of the deal that Billy Jeff cut with O! when he visited him in Harlem…
I can hear Billy Jeff now; “Go on and take it honey, I’ll be ok here at home…”
“I’ll find a way to keep busy…”

Oh, God.
One of my brother’s friends in high school had the nick-name “Short Rib”. The guy was build like a linebacker.
Damn you for putting that image into my head. I don’t think there’s anything long enough here to gouge out my mind’s eye…

But seriously, folks. If Cankles takes the Sec. State job, how long before Bill is installed as the new head of the UN?
shiver.

Does everyone honestly believe that Hillary wants Obama to succeed ? If so I gotta big bridge in San Fransisco I’ll sell them.
The only reason Barrack has anything to do with Hillary is because he is smart enough to know that he needs to keep his enemies close. God help all of us true, American born citizens who are about to witness the greatest blunder of american history.
