#1 Given that the Government being installed seems to have so many elements from the Clinton era, it seems to me she may be headed for the President's seat.

#2 Isn't the secretary of state 4th in line for the Presidency? Bambi, Biden, and Peloski might not want to travel together...

#3 Ok, here's ~~my whacked out conspiracy theory~~ what I suspect may be taking place. Firstly, I didn't think she would take the job, I was wrong. I failed to see the larger picture. Truth is, she didn't want the job, who would. No power to fire or dismiss. No one ever gets fired from DOS, they just shuffle around and continue to bugger one another. Who could thrive or feel comfortable in that stranger than strange environment. Certainly not a power monger like the Beast. It's not even a lateral move from the Senate, it's a step down! This is all part of 'hope for 2012' and the $ 22M campaign debt (now you owe ME) bailout from The One and the party of Soros. She's a dem celeb who can no doubt keep her mug squarely in the MSM on a daily basis, which is essential for 2012. She can maintain her voting base of 18 million screaching feminists and NYC liberals while ensuring they are all queuing up properly in 2012, either for The One or if he should fall, for her own run with former staff already in place...how convenient. Second order benefits for The One are knowing where the Beast and Slick are at all times and through the DOS backbiting spy net, having a pretyt good idea what they are up to. No threat from her with a competeing health care plan. No move by Slick to be reenergize his role as the "first black president." They are both effectively assigned to harmless, mundane duties in Queerville. If she fails, or slips off the reservation, there's always room under the bus, but it won't come to that I'm sure.

This entire program was worked out months ago. What we are seeing is the Jerry Springer drama adapted for the TV viewing audience. Pretty clever of the bastards I must admit. Pretty damn clever.

#4 Well the honor of being the 3rd gal secretary must be damn hard to resist.

I dunno, maybe it's the obvious, cushy job, good benefits and free travel.

#5 If you work in the DOS travel office you might wanna get that resume updated and start scouting for a good atty

#6 Now that was cheap, albeit insightful.

Which is exactly what I feared the most. Every time I see her on the TV it turns my stomach.

Or accept an invitation from Hillary to a midnight meeting at Fort Marcy Park.

#9 Nothing like being in a position of power in a bankrupt nation. Sociopaths only apply.

#10 Gawd, that picture looks loke a plastic doll that you can bend into hideous shapes, and did.
