Hillary Clinton Quitting As Secretary of State (In 2012)

by Ken Layne  

Time to make money$$$!Scheming frenemy Hillary Clinton tells the CNN people that she won’t be Obama’s secretary of state in his next term, assuming he wins, so this frees him up to nominate Sarah Palin or George Will or somebody. Really, Hillary’s jumping off the rat-ship … that’s what she told Wolf Blitzer, anyway. She’s a Clinton, so you could literally throw her farther than you could trust her, but Hillz says a big “No” when asked by the CNN muppet if she would serve again as Secretary of State. Then, according to the transcript, she barks off “No,” “No,” and “No” when asked if she wants to be vice president, defense secretary or Actual President. Great, we guess?

The interview will be broadcast on CNN this evening, so make sure to skip it! Here’s the transcript part, helpfully sent out by CNN:

Full transcript:

Q- If the president is reelected, do you want to serve a second term as secretary of state?

No

Q- Would you like to serve as secretary of defense?

No

Q- Would you like to be vice president of the United States?

No

Q- Would you like to be president of the United States?

No

Gripping! [CNN]

Wath out Bill, Hillary's coming home to take care of you!

BaldarTFlagass March 16, 2011 at 3:21 pm

Quick, everybody look busy!!

Lionel[redacted]Esq March 16, 2011 at 3:28 pm

Trust me, Bill is already getting busy.

GuyClinch March 16, 2011 at 3:20 pm

Q- Would you say we have a coherent policy in Afghanistan, the Middle East and North Africa?

No. WAIT!

JoshuaNorton March 16, 2011 at 3:20 pm

Sometimes the schaden just freudes itself.

BarackMyWorld March 16, 2011 at 3:20 pm

I've been wondering since 1992 how she'd make her graceful exit from politics.

Jaded[redacted] March 16, 2011 at 4:33 pm

First Hil-Dawg, now Garrison Keillor! Too many people cashing it all in.

pdiddycornchips March 16, 2011 at 3:20 pm

Sad to see her go. She's been a good soldier in spite of the venom she gets from both sides of the aisle.

KenLayIsAlive March 16, 2011 at 3:31 pm

LouHillary?

LionHeartSoyDog March 16, 2011 at 4:04 pm

Doughy pantsuit?

wondering where i am March 16, 2011 at 6:36 pm

She's a hard worker. That is probably why she wants to get out–too much hard work. If she took Sarah Palin's put a post Facebook page approach to politics she wouldn't be so tuckered out.

PublicLuxury March 16, 2011 at 3:21 pm

Flattering interpretation of her countenance. No?

HempDogbane March 16, 2011 at 4:22 pm

Yes, but that's actually a picture of Secretary of State Camille Paglia.

jlr1076 March 16, 2011 at 3:21 pm

Clinton looks like she enjoys being Secretary of State as much as I enjoyed working on a campground cleaning up dead fish from their pond. So, a lot.

Fukui_sanYesOta March 16, 2011 at 4:04 pm

A paycheck AND free fish? Elitist.

DemmeFatale March 16, 2011 at 3:22 pm

Jaaaaaaack, come home!!!

Extemporanus March 16, 2011 at 3:22 pm

Wow, is there anything this woman doesn't "No"?

BarackMyWorld March 16, 2011 at 3:26 pm

Wait….we're talking about sex stuff now, aren't we?

OneDollarJuana March 16, 2011 at 3:54 pm

sometimes no means no

Would you like to make hot monkey love on a 4×8 sheet of plexiglas?

Let me guess….

Come here a minute March 16, 2011 at 3:23 pm

Would you serve in a house? Would you serve with a mouse?

PublicLuxury March 16, 2011 at 3:23 pm

Are you in love with Bill?

ans: NO!

Did you ever love Bill?

ans: NO!

Do you think Monica has a better technique than you?

ans: No.

Did you fuck George W Bush?

ans: Politically or literally?

HAHAHAHAHA! You're cookin tonight, kid.

Callyson March 16, 2011 at 3:24 pm

Well, this is the edited version of the interview: the actual quotes from Hillary are:
Q- Would you like to serve as secretary of defense?
Good God, no…
Q- Would you like to be vice president of the United States?
Hell to the no!
Q- Would you like to be president of the United States?
No–fuck no!
Q-Would you like to become a professional speaker and make five figures per speech?

AnAmericanInTO March 16, 2011 at 4:02 pm

Would you like to rake it in as a "consultant" (aka lobbyist)?
Cha-Ching!

Negropolis March 16, 2011 at 3:24 pm

She'd actually already said this at least a year ago, but hell if the media won't keep pushing her.

Ken Layne March 16, 2011 at 3:48 pm

We need posts *today,* not a year ago!

LesBontemps March 16, 2011 at 4:01 pm

Yeah but it's not like you get the delicious clicky pageviewz from Hillary posts. And you already did your gratuitous Palin post for the day. Where's our Charlie Sheen nooz??!?!!!?!!?!

BarryOPotter March 16, 2011 at 4:26 pm

"Secretary Clinton: do you think that I'm going anywhere with this interview, that I'm not just whoring for air time, but am engaged in asking you meaningful question about the relevant aspects of your current position, that I look good with the facial shrubbery?"

"No."

WriteyWriterton March 16, 2011 at 11:30 pm

Wolf Blitzer = 0.

SexySmurf March 16, 2011 at 3:26 pm

Q-What's your favorite type of Japanese theater?

Noh.

Weenus299 March 16, 2011 at 3:37 pm

Was your favorite Bond movie Dr., Dr., oh I forget …
No.

mereoblivion March 16, 2011 at 4:17 pm

Huh? I always believed she preferred Kabuki. Just shows to go ya, Wonkette keeps on teaching us important shit every day of the Jap-wtf-theater-makes-mime-seem-entertaining week.

EdFlintstone March 16, 2011 at 3:26 pm

Well John Kerry can now bore other countries into a coma.

Rambone March 16, 2011 at 3:27 pm

This is good news for people who aren't Bill Clinton . . .

phlox✔ March 16, 2011 at 3:27 pm

Barry needs to appoint Hillary as Ambassador to Stanstanistan.
Q. Will you not take this post?
A: No.
Sucker!

nounverb911 March 16, 2011 at 3:31 pm

I'm still waiting for someone to appoint Katherine Harris ambassador to Chad.

GuyClinch March 16, 2011 at 3:35 pm

I see what you did there.

Oblios_Cap March 16, 2011 at 3:52 pm

They'd probably hang her!

mereoblivion March 16, 2011 at 4:20 pm

Gnus for Buchanan

cheaphits March 16, 2011 at 5:36 pm

Might be just what Pat needs to push him into the primaries…if nothing else he sure has experience running in primaries.

Chicken Beaver March 16, 2011 at 3:29 pm

Looks like Sandra Day O'Connor and Conan O'Brien made a baby.

A: No

Guppy06 March 16, 2011 at 3:31 pm

She wants Napolitano's job of Secretary of Full Body Scans.

Lionel[redacted]Esq March 16, 2011 at 3:32 pm

Hey, doesn't this mean that Hillary can move back to Illinois and run for the Senate again?

Or is she simply going to start an all lesbian foreign policy advisory company with Condi Rice?

Progressiveinga March 16, 2011 at 3:40 pm

I thought Newt already did that. Newt's a lesbo, right?

horsedreamer_1 March 16, 2011 at 4:07 pm

Mayor of New York City.

How many years left on Bloomberg's (illegal) third term?

mereoblivion March 16, 2011 at 4:21 pm

But which one'd wear the pants in the family?

PsycWench March 16, 2011 at 3:33 pm

There's a part of me that would love to see Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh appointed. They would quickly come to understand that they know a lot less than they think they do.

BaldarTFlagass March 16, 2011 at 3:37 pm

Either that or we'd all be dead in a global thermonuclear holocaust.

not that Dewey March 16, 2011 at 4:20 pm

Win-win!

Ducksworthy March 16, 2011 at 3:40 pm

I would take up a collection to send them both to Talibanistan.

Lionel[redacted]Esq March 16, 2011 at 4:55 pm

Sadly, that didn't work with George W. Bush, Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, Don Rumsfield, John Bolton, Alberto Gonzales, etc. etc. etc. etc.

ChessieNefercat March 16, 2011 at 5:43 pm

"…Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh appointed. They would quickly come to understand that they know a lot less than they think they do. "

Optimistic little soul, aren't you?

WriteyWriterton March 16, 2011 at 11:32 pm

They will never understand that.

PalinPussyPower March 16, 2011 at 3:33 pm

Now that Palin's gravy train is ending, this opens up the opportunity for Hils to go on a speaking tour and do a stint on Dancing with the Stars.

MinAgain March 16, 2011 at 3:35 pm

What does the job pay? And does the benefits package include dental?

KenLayIsAlive March 16, 2011 at 3:35 pm

She's probably going to work over at a liberal think tank like the WalMart Board of Directors.

Hera Sent Me March 16, 2011 at 3:38 pm

She knows it takes more than a village to keep an eye on Bill.

Ducksworthy March 16, 2011 at 3:39 pm

What's with the picture of Roy Blatty and the "Time to make money" misquote of his "Time to die" speech?

ttommyunger March 16, 2011 at 10:46 pm

Great fucking movie! Rutger's best effort, ever.

Lionel[redacted]Esq March 16, 2011 at 3:40 pm

The good news is that they can now fill the job with an unpaid intern, which, strangely enough, is how John Bolton became Ambassador to the UN under Bush.

GuyClinch March 16, 2011 at 3:51 pm

Plus, Bolton always swept up the floors with that push-broom stasche of his.

SorosBot March 16, 2011 at 3:41 pm

Q: Will pointless media speculation over Hillary running for President again ever end?

A: No.

MozakiBlocks March 16, 2011 at 3:41 pm

Well we won't have Hillary Clinton to kick around anymore.

Um…wait…

Saddest picture I've seen since the last time I checked in on our Japanese sistren and brethren.

Do you still beat your husband?

mereoblivion March 16, 2011 at 4:27 pm

When did you stop beating off your husband?

Have you stopped beating your husband?

prommie March 16, 2011 at 3:44 pm

What will become of us? Who will protect us from all these perils? We will be lost without her broad hips and sturdy kankles to protect us.

Nopantsmcgee March 16, 2011 at 3:48 pm

I was clearly and steadfastly on the Anti-Hill;Pro-Barry feud in 2008. Enough so that I even strained friendships.

I think she's served Barry well. No one will ever ask if a woman like Hillary has the 'nads' to be President or lacks 'toughness'. She is the most visible female democrat out there. Compare that to the Right's most visible female politician.

Anyway, I think she's more competent than most politicos, smarter, works harder and can be just as disingenuous as any male . Good for her.

And I don't count her out in '16, I don't care how old she is or what she says.

blinky_twinkie March 16, 2011 at 4:21 pm

I'm dying to hear her dish on Oprah. And any autobiography she writes will make massive bank. So she retires for a few years, plays with the grandkids (once Chelsea gets knocked up), then comes back and runs for Governor of New York. Or gets appointed to the Supreme Court.

DemmeFatale March 16, 2011 at 6:11 pm

We kept two bumper stickers on our bulletin board, waiting for the end of the primaries.
My daughter had the honor of sticking the Obama one on my car, but I still have the Hillary one…

DrunkIrishman March 16, 2011 at 3:48 pm

Duh! We all know in Clingon that no means yes…

elviouslyqueer March 16, 2011 at 3:49 pm

Q- If I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?

No

Q- Do you think Randy Jackson is an adequate substitute for Simon Cowell on this year's Idol?

No

Q- Is Justin Bieber going to have a steady girlfriend by the time he's 30?

No

Q- How about having a girlfriend at all?

No

Q- So he and Clay Aiken aren't just really good friends then, right?

No

Oblios_Cap March 16, 2011 at 3:51 pm

Is she quitting to become the second Hillary to ever climb Everest?

Jim89048 March 16, 2011 at 3:51 pm

So she'll not run against the also not-running fatfuckchristie?

Progressiveinga March 16, 2011 at 3:54 pm

The lamestream media who-ers just can't get enough of Team Vampire v. Team Werewolf, can they?

bumfug March 16, 2011 at 3:57 pm

Obama's not worried, he'll just get Kissinger to take the job.

GuyClinch March 16, 2011 at 4:28 pm

Being SoS requires considerable travel, and since Kissinger is a war criminal he is subject to arrest in many countries. So yeah, let's send him to Vietnam, Cambodia, Chile, East Timor and a few other places.

mereoblivion March 16, 2011 at 4:30 pm

Just so we can all stop humming "I Wonder Who's Kissinger Now"?

jus_wonderin March 16, 2011 at 3:58 pm

This is good. Not the part about her quitting. I like Hil.

See, if there is audio I can edit it put it on my digital recorder and play it when the dog raises his leg near the Ficus.

I hope she stated the No's firmly and loud.

OneDollarJuana March 16, 2011 at 3:58 pm

Q: What's your favorite abbreviation for the word "number"?

A: No.

But seriously, folks, I think she's gonna make bank by working for Al Jazeera, the only real new organization.

undeterredbyreality March 16, 2011 at 4:00 pm

She's been reading so much about all the benefits of unemployment and hobo beans that she decided she wants some. And, to identify with her base, also.

mereoblivion March 16, 2011 at 4:32 pm

At least she doesn't seem to despise us as much as the guy who whupp'd her in '08 does. Or is it just we never got to find out?

Redhead March 16, 2011 at 4:07 pm

But under the Republicants' new guidelines, "no" really means playing hard to get, so she really just wants Obama to try a littler harder to win her over before forcing her to be Veep.

widestanceroman March 16, 2011 at 4:09 pm

Perhaps her answers were so brief because she had already answered 50 other questions about her hair styles over the years, and the obvious question about whether or not she really keeps Bill's severed junk in a jar.

jus_wonderin March 16, 2011 at 4:10 pm

"Air pinching" and raising them off the floor would be cool too. Though, I'd hope she'd save that one for Boehner.

pdiddycornchips March 16, 2011 at 4:24 pm

Maybe she's concluded we're a nation of mental deficients no longer capable of self rule. There's plenty of evidence to support this thesis.

glamourdammerung March 16, 2011 at 4:43 pm

This is good news for John McCain.

Or Holy Joe Lieberman.

bitchincamaro2 March 16, 2011 at 4:56 pm

They tried to make her go to rehab, but she said…

Hatrabbit March 16, 2011 at 5:27 pm

That Wolf Blitzer sure knows how to get a "No." from the ladies.

deanbooth March 16, 2011 at 5:53 pm

The more you no…

DemonicRage March 16, 2011 at 6:18 pm

Barry will never ask the old man with white hairplugs who keeps saying inappropriate things to be his running mate in the next election. He needs someone with Hillary's support base to pull him over the finishing line (although if Newt is the Republican candidate, he could prolly win with Anthony Weiner as his running mate). So don't count her out of the game yet.

WriteyWriterton March 16, 2011 at 11:54 pm

If Newt gets the nomination, Barry can probably win with an Oscar Mayer (TM) wiener as his running mate.

The_Great_Gazoo March 16, 2011 at 6:30 pm

Has anyone ever tried substituting "Hillary" for "Britney" in that YouTube guy's wonderful, tearful "Leave Britney Alone" rant? It works out almost perfectly.

thefrontpage March 16, 2011 at 6:33 pm

Is it true that you're going to host a new "View"-like television show in 2012 with Ellen, Rosie, Condi, Sara Gilbert and Meredith Baxter Birney?

Yes.

jakegittes March 16, 2011 at 7:44 pm

Seems to me that Hillary now realizes that when Obama won in 2008, he was being handed the exploding cigar that the American economy was turning into shortly before the election. And, we all know how Hillary feels about cigars. Which is why Bill turned to Monica Lewinsky for help back in the day.

Negropolis March 16, 2011 at 9:41 pm

She has to do a good Force choke to make it believable.

iburl March 16, 2011 at 9:55 pm

Hillary has no comment about blood money.
No. No. No. No.

ttommyunger March 16, 2011 at 10:48 pm

Poor Hils, the quintessential anti-fap.

She's probably had enough of Wikileaks, Forever Wars, and trying to explain how we're happy the dictators we supported all these years are finally getting overthrown. Then, understandably, she felt compelled to make her Sherman Statement.
