'Senator Clinton...we are concerned that your husband's business will impede on the office of the Seceratary of State....this is the opinion of the committee as a whole.' - Sen. John Kerry and Richard Luger.

By the way, he may be buying a prostitute, but the new seceratary's husband had a woman brought to a hotel room by the state police and then fondled her against her will.

..it must be all of her extensive experience holding up legislation until her husband gets a check. (NYT Jan 4th)

...hiring Sandy Berg(l)ar to extort money out of the kazak's and chinese for influence.

...extorting money out of the Columbians for free trade legislation.

You know, she DOES have a lot of experience that Condi never got.

Still, Mrs ClintonJan 15th, 2009 - 21:38:07

has the honed skills of a person who can handle the job and make things happen. Right now, she's our best bet in the entire cabinet. I think Barack didn't bring her on as VP because he might feel like a sitting duck but he had to do something with her so he did the next best thing, Sec. of State. She's going to do a great job!

SP4: by what calculation do you arrive at this conclusion? She has never worked for the DS, never been in any diplomatic cpacity, never negotiated with a foreign power other than holding Columbia hostage on free trade legislation

Right now, she's our best bet in the entire cabinet.

SP4: By what logic? You have a sec def who has never served, a CIA leader who is just a lawyer, an AG designate who sold pardons...the only guy with Gravitas' is the Bush sec def.

I think Barack didn't bring her on as VP because he might feel like a sitting duck but he had to do something with her so he did the next best thing, Sec. of State.

SP4 - wake up: the sec state has far more power than the VP. They sit over a huge bureaucracy, and history shows presidents can hardly control them.

She's going to do a great job!

SP4 - again, by what logic does noe arrive at this?

treat 'Idiod Stick' SP4 like the dumb-dumb he is:

'SP4: by what calculation do you arrive at this conclusion? She has never worked for the DS, never been in any diplomatic cpacity, never negotiated with a foreign power other than holding Columbia hostage on free trade legislation'

5 spelling and gramical errors---to stupid to comment on.

'SP4: By what logic? You have a sec def who has never served, a CIA leader who is just a lawyer, an AG designate who sold pardons...the only guy with Gravitas' is the Bush sec def.'

Eiher we have a Secretary of Defense that has 'never served' or we have 'the only guy with Gravitas' is the Bush sec def'''---god you are stupid, does anyone listen to you in real life or does everyone around you completely ignore you and your stupidity? When was the last time you did/said/completed anything that was right? Again full of gramical and spelling errors.

'SP4 - wake up: the sec state has far more power than the VP. They sit over a huge bureaucracy, and history shows presidents can hardly control them.'

You need to 'wake up' idiot stick! The lat Secretary of State did absolutely nothing, just like her boss. Please tell me one thing that gapped toothed auntie Tom negotiated , completed and signed, except of course he charge slips for new shoes??? By the way, what 'history', god you are an idiot.

'SP4 - again, by what logic does noe arrive at this?'

Spelling and grammer so bad, your comment makes no sense. Idiot stick! As usual, so wrong even a 5th grader could debate and defeat you.
