Just read that Hillary will officially be nominated for the position of Secretary of State on Monday, December 1. My response to this is, "so what". Being named SoS is all a part of the good ol' boy network. If the job is so damned important name for me three of them. Hurry up and do it. I have to go to the bathroom.
I'm willing to go out on a limb and suggest that 5% of Americans might be able to tell us who the Secretary of State is at this exact moment in history and, quite possibly, not even that many.
Hillary Clinton's experience in this area was as First Lady. She traveled a lot, especially with daughter, Chelsea. I remember her riding atop an elephant while in India. That, in itself, is a conflict of interest. She should have been on a jackass but that's a political thing. Oh, and Hill told us she was shot at while trying to land in Bosnia. This qualifies her for some kind of soldier pay, I think.
Here's another one who brought the office to a higher standing. Her name is Madeline Albright. Just hearing her name in conjunction with this post might make some want to rise and sing the National Anthem while wiping away a tear. The North Koreans were wiping away tears while she was SoS except they were tears from laughing so hard at her gullibility.
Just so you know, on this subject, I'm balanced. The current holder of the office is Condi Rice, a smart lady, but I'm not up on too many of her accomplishments while she's been next to the President. What we really need is someone whose name has some pizazz. Someone like John Foster Dulles. He was a long time ago but the name sounds good even though no one remembers much about him.
See, being the Secretary of State is no big deal. In Hillary's case it allows Obama to keep a close eye on her. The real winner in this is Bill. He can continue to shack up with whomever without fear of having to stay home in Chappaqua while the wife is nearby. The old ball and chain will be gallivanting around the world while he takes his daily dose of Viagra.
What a country!
