1. That is one stone cool woman!!!!

We're fortunate to have her!

8. If Hillary remains at state for another four years she'll be able to foment further unrest in Latin

America and then move on to Venezuela, Brazil, Ecuador, etc., and rid the continent of the commie leftists so that the multi-national corporations can move in and take over. Yeah, that's the ticket.

9. Awwww, poor, poor you --- having fun shitting on the thread?

You really should bone up on your facts before you snark--because it's plain you don't have them in order.

SECSTATE Clinton will move to private life after the next election, so you won't get your four more years. You'll simply have to find someone else to complain about, you poor angry dear.

Is this how you spend your days, looking for innocuous posts to reply to with completely unrelelated and fact-free vitriol? How terrible to be you! There's a whole world out there, you know. Try it sometime. Much more fun than crafting silly little hit-and-run posts like you are doing here.

Yeah...that's the ticket!

2. Here's a scenario

1. January 2013 - Barack Obama sworn in as President

2. February 2013 - Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg retires

3. March 2013 - President Obama appoints Hilary Rodham Clinton to succeed Justice Ginsburg

4. March 2013 - Justice Clinton wins Senate confirmation

5. April 2013 - President Obama appoints Vice President Biden to be Secretary of State

6. May 2013 - Secretary Biden wins Senate confirmation by 1 vote ("Hey, a win is a win" quips Biden)

7. May 2013 - are you ready for it? President Obama appoints newly-elected Senator Elizabeth Warren as Vice President. This is a far as my ability to see into the future extends - 14 to 15 months max, after which images become very fuzzy. As we all know the 25th Amendment requires that such an appointment be approved by a majority in both Houses, and the GOP still controls the House, albeit by a scant 6 votes. Since Congress will be more than a little preoccupied with the pending devaluation of the US dollar due to the collapse of the financial structure and all that implies, there is a good possibility that the House will not want the country to be without a VP at this critical hour. We'll just have to wait and see

3. "Justice Clinton" That would cause a lot of heart attacks. I like it.

[WhoIsNumberNone]

4. I think Biden could make a good SoS

But why on earth would you want to move Elizabeth Warren -one of the few people in the Congress with Americans' interests at heart- to a position where all she does is go to funerals?

5. Well, my thinking was to have her in place

for a Presidential bid in 2016. Sitting VP's do tend to have a leg up in the nominating process, and do OK in the election as well. You're right about her being an asset in Congress. Too bad we can't clone her.

7. Were Elizabeth Warren to become VP and then run in '16 the democratic party establishment would

destroy her.

[MADem]

11. And why would Elizabeth Warren become VP? We are still working to place her in the Senate.

What an amusing theory. A veritable flight of fancy. It won't happen, of course. Also, the "Democratic" party establishment is in debt to SECSTATE Clinton. There will never be any "destroying."

You do know that Elizabeth Warren and SECSTATE Clinton have a lot in common, don't you? I think you have ideas about Warren that aren't in consonance with her actual views.

6. so that blood diamond on her finger...

pre or post monica? Snoopy people wanna know.

And she earned it, no doubt. But that thing is huge!!!

10. For all we know, it could be made from Buddy's ashes.

They do that now, you know. It could even be a relative. http://www.lifegem.com/

It might not be a "blood diamond" either. It could be a hundred or more years old. Or be a cubic zirconia.

Madeleine Albright's jewelry went on display--I saw it at the Carter Center in Atlanta recently. Many of her pins, though artful and clever and worn to make a particular point, were in fact what's called "costume" jewelry. Not terribly valuable in and of themselves, but notable for their place in history.

12. It's a three carat diamond

Apparently, Bill gave it to her on their 30th wedding anniversary. Looks like it's no costume bling.

13. HA! Good for her! I'm pleased to hear it! nt
