NEWS OF THE OBVIOUS

It’s Unofficially Official: Hillary Clinton Is Secretary of State

She is President of the State Department!Oh hey Friday slow news day, etc.! The various news outlets keep insisting that Hillary Clinton has quietly (as quietly as she can do anything) taken up Barack Obama on his offer to be Secretary of Diplomatic Teas and Bombing Things, so we pass that information along to you, the reader. Did you know that Bill Clinton turned over the names of over two-hundred-thousand donors to his foundation and memorial dildo farm in Little Rock, so that his wife could have this job? True story!

Now, of course, Barack Obama will be able to just sit on this donor list, and anytime Hillary Clinton thinks about doing anything out of line or “going rogue,” he will just randomly pick a name off the list and be like, “Oh okay well I guess nobody will mind if I let it slip that Bill took a half-million dollars from this shady Kazakh billionaire pedophile Marxist guerrilla Bilderberg mastermind.” PROBLEM SOLVED.

This works out well for Hillary, too: She doesn’t have to wait for Ted Kennedy to die or retire so that she can fuck up health-care reform, again, and now she has a chance to really “make a difference” by doing whatever Joe Biden tells her to do.

    Mixed emotions on this one.

    BARAK CAN’T WIN THE BIG STATES

  3. Cape Clod says at 4:32 pm, November 21st, 2008

    Yaaay! Yes?

  4. V572625694 says at 4:33 pm, November 21st, 2008

    Joe who?

  5. Best she divorce Bill now, or we are all fucked.

  6. Rodney Badger says at 4:35 pm, November 21st, 2008

    This is great news for Hillary Clinton!

  7. Schadenfried says at 4:36 pm, November 21st, 2008

    Doglessliberal: I ageee. I was pulling for pulling for Bill Richardson. He’ll be Sec. of Commerce, but still…

  8. Vewol Mevemont says at 4:36 pm, November 21st, 2008

    I’m already tired of this story. Why does everything Clintony have to be so fucking dramatic and overwrought?

  9. ManchuCandidate says at 4:38 pm, November 21st, 2008

    Barry picked her because she has proven that she can take those 3am crisis phone calls.

  10. Seriously, someone: Why the FUCK would she agree to do this?

    I honestly DON’T Get It.

    Anyone?

  11. magic titty says at 4:38 pm, November 21st, 2008

    Finally the voices of her pledged delegates will be heard!

  12. FreshCliches says at 4:39 pm, November 21st, 2008

    Dollars to donuts, Larry is fapping away at his Johnson over at No Quarter USA.

    And Taylor is fapping at her Marsh as well.

  13. Damn, Bill must really love her. Who knew?

  14. Doglessliberal says at 4:39 pm, November 21st, 2008

    Schadenfried: I just worry. This IS the Clintons, after all. And make no mistake, it is both of them.

  15. He justs want to see if she will bring him coffee, like all good secretaries! Remember, Darlin’ the President likes his coffee strong and black.

  16. SayItWithWookies says at 4:42 pm, November 21st, 2008

    I’m very happy. Especially because this means I won’t be getting any more emails from her campaign.

  17. Obama’s a lot smarter than I am so I have to assume he has a better reason that she’s his first choice than I have that she’s my last. Not happy.

  18. Nah, I can’t think a better place for Bill than visiting some school construction in Lesser Buttfuckistan.

    Also, does this mean Hils is our new Princess Sparkle Pony?

  19. DonkeyPants says at 4:43 pm, November 21st, 2008

    My Obama boner just pulled a Mukasey.

  20. Schadenfried says at 4:44 pm, November 21st, 2008

    Vewol Mevemont: Also, is anyone else getting tired of the proverbial Clinton ring-kissing that seems to have gone on since Bill’s been out of office and Hillary got in the Senate?

    Yes, I know they’re the only Dems since Barry that have fought back against the Repubs; but it’s almost like they’re the Corleones of the Dem Party.

  21. Come here a minute says at 4:45 pm, November 21st, 2008

    The Hillary Hairdo Alert System launches at level 0, “Boring”, where it will hopefully remain for the duration.

  22. Measured against Condi, this is an outstanding pick

  23. metropolitan says at 4:46 pm, November 21st, 2008

    wow, what progress!
    she’s going to break new ground!
    she will be the first woman to be the third woman secretary of state!

  24. I, as a fellow cougar, am thrilled!

    WTG, Hillz!

  25. Doglessliberal says at 4:46 pm, November 21st, 2008

    Schadenfried: yes, a long time ago we did.

  26. Someone on teevee said that she won’t go rogue because “As SoS she serves at the pleasure of the president” – am I the only one who has unpleasant images from this comment.

  27. P Drizzle says at 4:46 pm, November 21st, 2008

    This story made possible by my hot anonymous tip. No, thank YOU.

  28. sati demise says at 4:49 pm, November 21st, 2008

    TGY: ahhh yes. The Sparkle Pony Pantsuit Secretary Queen. She does have the jewelry to compete, I dont know about the shoes…. that could be worrisome.

  29. One Yield Regular says at 4:49 pm, November 21st, 2008

    How are those NOBAMA ladies handling this?

  30. Looks like Obama got someone to answer the phone for him at 3 AM.

  31. Neilist:

    because, usually, carpetbagging seated senators from NY aren’t in a position to achieve something like a Nobel Peace Prize.

  32. metropolitan says at 4:51 pm, November 21st, 2008

    P Drizzle:
    damn, you were the first person to see the home page of the new york times?
    wow, you’re a regular deep throat to sara k’s bob woodward.

  33. tunamelt says at 4:51 pm, November 21st, 2008

    Dreamer: Shower, shower, shower.

    I don’t really know what to expect with this, but I do agree that at least now Wonkette will have stuff to write about… it will be like Passions.

  34. ioksotot23 says at 4:53 pm, November 21st, 2008

    Hillz Billz

    I’m a rolling thunder, pouring rain
    I’m comin’ on like a hurricane
    My lightning’s flashing across the sky
    You’re only young but you’re gonna die

    I won’t take no prisoners, won’t spare no lives
    Nobody’s putting up a fight
    I got my bell, I’m gonna take you to hell
    I’m gonna get ya, Satan get ya

    CHORUS:
    Hillz Billz
    Yeah, Hillz Billz
    You got me ringin’ Hillz Billz
    My temperature’s high, Hillz Billz

  35. metropolitan says at 4:53 pm, November 21st, 2008

    i bet harriet christian is finally going to bury the hatchet because her crazy rants had nothing to do with race.

  36. Vewol Mevemont says at 4:54 pm, November 21st, 2008

    Schadenfried: It’s ridiculous. I thought the Age of Clintonian Fear and Submission was finally over. But it’s never over. It’s never, fucking, god damn, over. Bend over and take another load of Clinton, America.

    And you know what, they’re not bad policy-wise. They’re just stale. Stale and stifling. And Hilary is a shitty manager. But if they were a little bit more gracious, low key and open to new ideas/people, I would welcome their never ending series of political resurrections.

  37. CorkPopper says at 4:54 pm, November 21st, 2008

    Neilist: One word: seniority. Or rather, lack thereof. Junior senator from New York doesn’t have nearly the glamour/power/impact as Sec of State. And actually I think she would be good at this job. If Obama thinks he can keep Bill ‘n Hill in line, I’m prepared to trust him…his judgement has been stellar so far.

  38. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 4:54 pm, November 21st, 2008

    This just in, Obama has announced that Hillary will be immediately dispatched to Papua New Guinea with orders to stay there until she can bring peace amongst the various cannibalistic tribes there.

  39. CorkPopper says at 4:55 pm, November 21st, 2008

    blader: better put than me

  40. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 4:56 pm, November 21st, 2008

    azw88: the President likes his coffee strong and black.

    Insert obligatory “just like his women” snark.

  41. heroinmule says at 4:58 pm, November 21st, 2008

    This should be entertaining. If Obama can wrangle two Clintons, the Iraq war, economic crisis, and global warming should be a piece of cake.

  42. sarahconnor says at 4:59 pm, November 21st, 2008

    DonkeyPants: ha, ha, a boner with the vapors? that’s a poignant image.

  43. Note to new SoS:

    Smaller nations need to be visited too. They are not content with you pointing at them from the podium.

  44. Schadenfried:
    “Yes, I know they’re the only Dems since Barry that have fought back against the Repubs; but it’s almost like they’re the Corleones of the Dem Party.”

    That’s true. But ascends in their place after he has finished serving, he’ll be like Tommy ‘The Black Caesar’ Gibbs.

  45. P Drizzle says at 5:01 pm, November 21st, 2008

    metropolitan: Why yes. Yes I was. I’m so basking in my own up-to-the-minute-ness.

  46. You guys think this is fun, just wait till the inevitable jockeying for NY Gov. happens. There will be 10 leaks/denials per hour that Hillary is seriously thinking about running should Patterson decide to not run, etc.

  47. Naked Bunny with a Whip: That goes without saying, but I was thinking about writing, just like Chelsea likes her men, but remembered Obama says kids are off limits…. (which proves he is a muslin, since good Christians like Mark Foley and a host of catholic priests know that children are NEVER off limits!)

  48. azw88: I like my Presidents like I like my coffee: Kenyan roast, vanilla sweetener.

  49. Utterly meh about this — except, of course, for the soothing sound of exploding heads in the No Quarter/PUMA Axis of Assholery. Hee-Hee!

  50. The pick of Clinton is excellent news. It will bring the State department (and the role of diplomacy generally speaking) back into prominence. A nice change from the trivialization of the Powell-Rice years.

    Joe Klein suggests all the adults who will now (finally!) be running national security go away and have an orgy together:

    “it might be a good idea for Clinton, [Robert] Gates, [ret. Marine General and probable National Security Adviser Jim] Jones, Obama and Biden to go off for a weekend retreat somewhere, have a few drinks and get to know each other.”

  51. Where did the pic on the NY Times home page come from, anyway? Is that recent? Everybody is cooly in black. Even Hils is cool.

  52. metropolitan says at 5:06 pm, November 21st, 2008

    P Drizzle:
    no offense meant, i’m really on your team here in the peanut gallery. i went several years sending them tips without any acknowledgement.

    but let me show you a little trick (which will be wont work after they read this). if i found a AP story that was good, i would look it up in the asiatimes and send it in. that way when they posted the AP story but with a strange asiatimes url instead of yahoo or some other US newspaper i knew it was my tip.
    god, it just made me feel so important.

  53. TGY: Never mind. I should learn to read.

  54. Doglessliberal says at 5:07 pm, November 21st, 2008

    AxmxZ: or a Kenyan blend with some Indonesian beans in there, as those tend to add a nice sweetness and mellowness.

  55. I guess we have to figure this deal was cut at the convention.

  56. tunamelt: I expect non stop drama! Anything relating the Clintons is drama galore - to be charitable it might not be them but it is the people they surround themselves with. Just look at all the kooks like Lanny Davis, Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild and all of those loony supporters (the prominent ones).

  57. sarahconnor says at 5:10 pm, November 21st, 2008

    hopefully President Obama will take every opportunity he gets to point out to both of them who lives IN THE BIG HOUSE NOW! MOTHEREFFER!

    Whoa, I think maybe this appointment is a passive aggressive move. I’ll give Oboner this.

  58. Schadenfried says at 5:13 pm, November 21st, 2008

    Vewol Mevemont: True, they were good, policy wise. During Bill’s administration, I was a temp, for a while, even though I didn’t have to many permanant jobs (I was still 20-something), I didn’t stay umemployed for long. I had steady temp work. During Bush the Dumber’s admin, I couldn’t get arrested, work-wise. Out of steady work for over two years; good news is, I worked on my writing. I’ve had this job now for over a year (and one of few that I’ve held that I actually LIKE, let alone tolerate), so hopefully, I can get a cost of living bump once Obama hits office.

  59. Makes sense. Boy gets girl, boy loses girl, boy appoints girl Sec. of State.

  60. Hillary and all her cronies in the State Department, yay! Barack is changin’ and hopin’ so hard I might be getting hopelash and a change rash. I’m so glad we give away positions like Secretary of State based on the premise of “That oughtta shut the bitch up!”

  61. The Cold Sea says at 5:15 pm, November 21st, 2008

    Neilist: Hillz can still be Preznit. In 2016 she’ll be 69 which is like 59 ’cause she has health care while the rest of us rot. Anywho, she can ride on Barry’s Unicorn coat tails and be the preznit. She can.

  62. OffTheRecord says at 5:15 pm, November 21st, 2008

    “The various news outlets keep insisting that Hillary Clinton has quietly (as quietly as she can do anything)” is seriously the truest statement that has ever been written about Hillary Clinton. I actually kind of like Hillary and I think she would be good at this job, but the woman and the people around her leak like the damn titanic. They can not shut their mouths to save their life. It drives me insane. And really it isn’t the most flattering quality in a SoS.

    But on a snarky note….sniper fire landings every day!!! Woohoo!!

  63. Can we haz ice cream now?

  64. smashtheduck says at 5:21 pm, November 21st, 2008

    Fuck the Clintons. They’re a shitty Lifetime movie of the week. I’m too bored with them to bother with snark. What does make me happy is not having to read through 200 odd comments on every post. Just one more reason I’m glad the election’s over. The crowd thinned out so it’s easier to find Tunamelt, Angryblakguy, Shorts and all you other fucks who make me laugh. Yay!

  65. ServiceJervixJuice says at 5:21 pm, November 21st, 2008

    Goddamit, I hope Bill doesn’t keep showing up and hangin’ around.

  66. P Drizzle says at 5:23 pm, November 21st, 2008

    metropolitan: Heheh. ‘Twas my lame attempt at depressing humor, all aimed at an audience of one. But that tiny sign of recognition would totally give me tummy twinklies.

  67. Toomush Infermashun says at 5:24 pm, November 21st, 2008

    At first, I was, like, why why why would Obama want to do this oh noes, but then I realized that he can send the SoS anywhere he wants to for as long as he wants to (re Condoleaser)and make them (her)toe whatever line he wants to while they’re (she’s)there. THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS!!!!… and I took another little happy sip….

  68. shanemcgowan says at 5:24 pm, November 21st, 2008

    PUMA

  69. tunamelt says at 5:24 pm, November 21st, 2008

    jagorev: That sounds like some kind of seventies key party porno plot.

  70. Toomush Infermashun says at 5:25 pm, November 21st, 2008

    Oh, and Bill can tag along….

  71. tunamelt says at 5:26 pm, November 21st, 2008

    Whatever, I heard that the LA Mayor is on a shortlist for HUD and that’s all I care about hearing about right now. How weird.

  72. DonkeyPants says at 5:27 pm, November 21st, 2008

    sarahconnor: He’s resting comfortably and said do be doing fine.

    This “team of rivals” nonsense needs to be taken back to the woodshed. Seriously- collegial debate is productive and all. But, Hillary’s passive-agressive dramas would make even little Jeebus cry.

  73. Kev-O-Tron says at 5:27 pm, November 21st, 2008

    Toomush Infermashun: yeah something tells me the SoS is going to be very involved in the Iceland economic situation for a lonnngggg time.

  74. Rebel Countess says at 5:27 pm, November 21st, 2008

    If only you children on Wonkette would have read Sigmund Freud (or Sophocles) BEFORE you went all crazy about Obama’s two lousy books.

  75. tunamelt: If Tony gets appointed to HUD, that’s at least one guaranteed sex scandal in the next few years, so we’ve at least got that.

  76. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 5:31 pm, November 21st, 2008

    azw88: but remembered Obama says kids are off limits

    I like your take better than mine, and anyway, isn’t Chelsea, like, 25 now?

  77. Crap. I think this has mistake written all over it.

  78. Sigh. Since no one has said it yet, I guess I’m obligated.

    DO NOT WANT.

    I mean seriously can we, as a country, get over the Clinton family? They’re an Arkansas clan of backstabbing retards who barely managed to hang on to the country long enough to get blown by a fat chick.

    YES. THEM. I’M IMPLYING THAT HILLARY GOT THE SAME “TREATMENT”. (Bah, Fridays suck, because then you find out all the work you get to do on Saturday and Sunday.)

    Leaving them in history wouldn’t make a serious dent.

  79. tunamelt says at 5:37 pm, November 21st, 2008

    Dave J.: The funny thing is you really can’t blame him. Have you seen those Telemundo and Univision female reporters. There’s like newscaster hot and then there’s Spanish newscaster hot.

    The guys all look like silver foxes/male strippers and the girls are all beauty queens.

  80. StephanieInCA says at 5:41 pm, November 21st, 2008

    This is a terrible horrible no good very bad idea. No good can come of it. Bound to end poorly.

    That is all.

  81. Toomush Infermashun says at 5:43 pm, November 21st, 2008

    Kev-o-tron: Yes, and they can stay in that ice mansion/hotel thing…. or is that Finland…? Anyway, until it melts….

  82. Toomush Infermashun says at 5:46 pm, November 21st, 2008

    tunamelt: I have to agree with you….Last February, I was down at the Telemundo headquarters in Mexico City making some kind of voice-over freebee, and that is the last word in hot female reporters…melting in lime juice….

  83. Kev-O-Tron says at 5:51 pm, November 21st, 2008

    town.Toomush Infermashun: I think Scandinavia will get about ten degrees cooler when the Ice Queen blows into town.

    totally OT here but a weird little bit of irony. Sometimes when typing wonkette into mozilla I prematurely hit the enter key before the auto-remember kicks in. I am immediately routed to the imdb page for that god awful Oliver Stone flick “W”.

  84. If Hils does the SoS bit and keeps her trap shut, BHO can pardon her for the Vince Foster thing.

    Malcolm Gladwell (author of Outliers) was on Maddow last night and (a) was very forgiving of this business of Barry putting together an administration of long-term inside the beltway types, and (b) should engage in a contest with Nate Silver to bend and unbend spoons, using psychokinesis.

  85. Kev-O-Tron says at 6:00 pm, November 21st, 2008

    WadISay: I was thinking about the Tipping Point this morning and wondering what’s the lethal blend of economic collapse, gay anger and crazy white supremacists that would lead to civil unrest.

    tunamelt: I did a Google image search for Telemundo Reporter. hot. damn.

  86. SayItWithWookies says at 6:04 pm, November 21st, 2008

    jagorev: They should go on a little hiking trip and, at a remote, quiet location, bury Gates up to his neck and slather his head with honey. The only reason he has any credibility is because the previous occupant of that position had all the military talent of Ambrose Burnside and the administrative skills of a Sufi hermit. Eric Shinseki for SecDef.

  87. Scandalabra says at 6:11 pm, November 21st, 2008

    It looks like our editors left us with a Hillary topic to endlessly discuss over the weekend. I’m logging out and heading to the liquor store for a bottle of gin…

  88. Rodney Badger says at 6:16 pm, November 21st, 2008

    How are the PUMA people processing this little bit of news? Anyone check? I don’t want to look, they scare me.

    Do they hate Obama more because of this? Does it confirm for them that he really doesn’t know what he’s doing and needs Hillz around to hold his hand? Do they still just secretly want to fuck him?

  89. hrhkingfriday says at 6:18 pm, November 21st, 2008
  90. Canmon (the Inadequate) says at 6:19 pm, November 21st, 2008

    So who gets Hillary’s senate seat. I, for one, am hoping it’s Spitzer.

  91. Rodney Badger: I just checked a couple of PUMA sites. It seems like they’ve either moved on to obsessing over Sarah Palin, or have taken the SecState appointment (which pissed off some of the more hardcore Obamatards) as furtherproof that Hussein Nobama is a no-good, backstabbing, lying Muslin.

    I am not joking.

  92. tunamelt says at 6:21 pm, November 21st, 2008

    hrhkingfriday: You guys are all in the chatroom, aren’t you? You whores.

  93. Kev-O-Tron says at 6:23 pm, November 21st, 2008

    Rodney Badger: My mom’s a Clinton lady and she’s pumped. Upset about the criticism though. I have to say I agree. If you’re looking for experienced Democrats to fill your cabinet a Clinton Democrat is practically all you’ve got. We’ve had ONE Democratic president in like, forever. If you were a Democrat in DC over the last sixteen years that was the only game in town.

    Canmon (the Inadequate): Ashley Alexander Dupre? I hear she’s looking for work…

  94. hrhkingfriday says at 6:28 pm, November 21st, 2008

    tunamelt: We are in the chat room, and grendel is getting double stuffed.

    So yes, we are whores.

  95. tunamelt says at 6:28 pm, November 21st, 2008

    Kev-O-Tron: If you’re looking for experienced Democrats to fill your cabinet a Clinton Democrat is practically all you’ve got. We’ve had ONE Democratic president in like, forever. If you were a Democrat in DC over the last sixteen years that was the only game in town.

    This is very true and probably why I want to cut people for bitching. Please be aware of reality, you paint huffers.

  96. Rodney Badger says at 6:37 pm, November 21st, 2008

    hrhkingfriday: Shorts got banned. Developing.

  97. Hooray For Anything says at 6:40 pm, November 21st, 2008

    tunamelt: I’m hoping the Mayor of LA doesn’t go to HUD and instead decides to run for Governor where he’ll be running against my Mayor, Gavin Newsom, and the whole campaign will be one big huge contest to see who’s sleazier. Good times.

  98. Rodney Badger says at 6:41 pm, November 21st, 2008

    jagorev: I pretty much believe anything anyone tells me about the PUMA.

    Kev-O-Tron: And who gives a shit if he picks Clinton people? He could pick every Clinton person and put him or her in the exact same job and I’d do fantastic backflips. The 90’s ruled.

  99. Pop Socket says at 6:41 pm, November 21st, 2008

  100. wickedlittledoll says at 6:42 pm, November 21st, 2008

    Is it me or is this like the hundredth time Clinton has ‘unofficially’ officially accepted the SoS offer? Maybe she can sell her senate seat to pay her campaign debts!

  101. Anonymous Office Zombie says at 6:42 pm, November 21st, 2008

    Wonderful. NoBama’s given the various GOP factions all the cause and opportunity they need to pull together and ressurect from the ashes in mutal Clinton hatred. They don’t even have to write a new script, just dust off their 90’s hits.

    Let the Second Great Moral anti-Clinton Crusade begin. The race to commence Project Contract with America II: The Revenge begins in 5… 4…

    Hey, if we’re lucky we’ll even have Newt back in the House leading the GOP charge in 2010!

  104. Stinkin Paws says at 6:47 pm, November 21st, 2008

    That’s one way to avoid a nasty Primary challenge in 2012. Does this mean we are now at war with Iran? Hillary is itching to show some tin horn despot who wears the pant suit.

  105. There are now 18mm bullet holes in someone’s ceiling in Bosnia.

  106. Kev-O-Tron says at 6:47 pm, November 21st, 2008

    Rodney Badger: It’s not “changey” enough for the really ardent supporters. I’ve been in the tank since 2004 but even I expect him to govern from the center. But I’ve never been a big Clinton hater either. I would have supported Hillary all the way if she won. But…Anonymous Office Zombie: you’re right. The Clinton’s can really inspire some vitriol. But fortunately all the hot air in the world from Coulter, Malkin, Limbaugh, etc is only going to piss off the moderates more. Stupid fucking AM radio dipshit fundies are dying off and I couldn’t be happier.

    Hooray For Anything: I finished puking outside of some bar in San Francisco and turned around to see Gavin Newsom hanging out by a limo with a gaggle of whores. This was when he was married (for the first time). I actually talked to him for a little bit, but can’t remember what I said. I probably insulted him though because I was going through my insult famous people while drunk phase. A few weeks prior I called James Van Der Beek a kike, and Pedro Feliz a shit-eating cocksucker.

    My point is that I agree with you that Gavin Newsom is a whore, but the Mayor of LA cannot win unless he chooses Pedro Feliz as his running mate.

His run for Governor will be hilarious, short, and career-destroying. Do not cry for him, though. His family owns every bar in San Francisco and a bunch of wineries in Napa.

The Hillary women were ready to vote for McShame because of everyone’s treatment of Hillary. Then, when McShame picked the loathsome nitwit, they were angered at the cynicism and ploy and went back to Obama. Now, they will see through Obama’s pick and will align with…uh…let’s see…hmmmm…I got it !! Ron Paul !! Yes, Ron Paul…oh wow, what a scoop ! The Hillary women are going to vote for Ron Paul because he’s so adorable, sexy and a straight shooter.

If she and her klan are at State they’ll have to produce or be accused of what State is always accused of: sitting on their butts being all elitisty. If they are working out of the Senate she’s more likely to start magically renaming everything: “my 18 million votes mean I’m preznit of several states,” “Obama isn’t really black, he’s white. I’m the one who is the victim here because I wear pantsuits,” etc. That talent to pretend a fork is a spoon will work well in a number places where they’ll just be shocked she does not have male genitalia.

There was never going to be a time in the next 20 years that the Clintons would be out of the news (hell, Jimmy Carter shows up at crap for crissakes and he’s a moralizing twit of Al Gore proportions). Put her at State where she will be happy and not “giving Barry the business” in the US Senate. I mean, Wonketteers are among the smartest, snarkiest people I know but this notion that she’s a bad appointment (for whatever reason) is ridiculous. I think she’s got more right to be SoS than John Kerry or Bill Richardson. She sure as hell has more cache overseas than those two blowhards.
