If I saw a picture of Slick Willie snorting coke off an 11-year-old Thai girl’s dirty ass with Hillary laughing in the background, I wouldn’t be surprised. What does the Obama Transition Team think they’re going to find here?
Sarah Palin?
Sarah Palin would be great for Secretary of the Interior, because her keen fashion-sense is perfectly suited for decorating.
Dear God,
Please don’t let Hillary Clinton be Secretary of State.
Thanking you in advance,
Larry Borgia
For the last time already, Obama *is not *God!
Is too.
So am I, as far as that goes.
You too.
Invisible omnipresent, omnipotent, and/or omnibenevolent characters from Bronze Age folk tales? I have my doubts.
I’d say we’ve had nothing but rumors and “leaks” by people who we’re told are from the (pick one) Obama/Clinton camp, but nothing official from Obama himself, and so I’m taking everything with a grain of popcorn salt until we get an official announcement.
I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised to find out, once the tight-lipped Obama camp decides to go on record, that Hillary was never even considered and they probably all had a big laugh at this rumor-mongering and hand-wringing.
Ed Meese was a dick but he did say something very true once. When it comes to presidential transitions/appointments, “The people who know aren’t talking, and the people talking don’t know.”
I thought he was dead, too, but Ed Meese is still alive, and almost certainly still a dick.
One thing Obama said is that he wanted to emulate Lincoln and hire people to work with him who were formerly foes. It worked great for Lincoln, we’ll see if it works for Obama. I can understand a position for Hill-Dog, but what about McCain? He met with him yesterday.
Me, too - there is but one All Seeing All Knowing Master Of Time Space and Dimension.
Cordially,

Well, yes, but have you ever tried to get an appointment with The Doctor?
Obama’s team seems keen to know in advance of any entanglements or indiscretions or ethical failures of his appointees. In this case, Bill Clinton’s business dealings since his presidency may compromise Hillary’s neutrality on foreign [del]affairs[/del] policy.
Yes! Thou art God!
Obama grocks.
Foes? Does she really qualify as a a “foe”?
Insofar as she’s not a fee, fie or fum, yes.
And we’ve all seen what not vetting a candidate gets you.
She’s being vetted so she WON’T get the job is my guess. If the Obama team is compiled of former Clinton WH staffers, they already know what they’re going to find. I suspect they’re going through necessary political motions before picking someone else entirely. I will be completely gobsmacked if she’s actually chosen with Willie still in her life. She gives him his walkin papers and she MAY have a chance. I wonder though, how many SoS’s have gone on to be president?
Several, but not in the last century and a half.
Actually, the idea that the team of rivals idea worked for Lincoln — not so much according to many historians.

Excerpts from the article linked above:
“… the problem is, it didn’t work that well for Lincoln. There were painful trade-offs with the “team of rivals” approach that are never fully addressed in the book, or by others that offer happy-sounding descriptions of the Lincoln presidency.”
and
“Lincoln’s decision to embrace former rivals, for instance, inevitably meant ignoring old friends – a development they took badly.”
“Consider this inconvenient truth: Out of the four leading vote-getters for the 1860 Republican presidential nomination whom Lincoln placed on his original team, three left during his first term – one in disgrace, one in defiance and one in disgust.”
This is killing me.
The Clinton death squad strikes again!
