I wasn't sure Hillary Clinton as SOS was a good idea

[tularetom]

Then I read this column in our morning paper by David Broder saying it was a terrible idea. (Still looking for a link).

Now I know - it's a great idea.

Thank you Mr. Broder for convincing me.

1. Hitchens thinks it is "beyond the pale"

too

Anything those two idiots disagree with, I have to re-think

3. Please help me here: How can we trust a word out of any of their mouths? nt

4. Hitchens? Whenever he wants a little attention, he makes it a point to

say something wildly controversial. I've seen that piece replayed at least a dozen times. It'll fade by the end of the week and I predict that in a few weeks he'll get tired of being a nobody, get himself a spot on morning joe, and say some else totally off the wall. The man's an asswipe.

2. So do a bunch of people from the center (Marti Peretz, David Ignatius to the far left

Robert Perry, Budowski). During the same time, the RW (including, but not only Eagleburger and Kissinger) and the Fox people seem to love the idea.

Once in a while, Hitchens and Broder could be right.

7. I agree, they may have wised up. n/t

5. I have no idea what Hillary would have to offer Obama on foreign policy. None.

[wisteria]

9. Nothing but a circus and distraction. This makes me think Obama is not serious about foreign policy.

Or he isn't really looking to change anything.

11. I think he DOES want change and right now it's all about Process. nt

12. I think he's serious about foreign policy, but doesn't take the SoS role

very seriously. Maybe he doesn't think it's worth all that much, since he and Biden have foreign policy pretty well covered between the two of them (and Kerry as head of SFRC)?

6. And Kissinger thinks it's a great idea. Go figure. nt

10. Bizzaro world

I don't know which asshole I hate more, so I can go the opposite way... tough call. Good thing I ain't on the transition team.

8. Scott Ritter, re Iran: HC as SOS will be a disaster. nt

[BlooInBloo]

13. I agree that that is VERY weighty evidence.
