It’s like we have a secretary of state actually interested in fighting Al Qaeda, for a change.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Thursday questioned why Pakistani officials have not been able to capture or kill members of al Qaeda taking refuge in the country.
“Al Qaeda has had safe haven in Pakistan since 2002,” she told [...]

Sec. Of State Clinton Calls Out Pakistan
This Seems Like A Bad Idea
I don’t know what utility inserting Sec. Clinton into the health care process would solve. She’s the Secretary Of State, a full plate job during more tranquil times, let alone in the wake of the failed Bush administration. No doubt she’s passionate about the issue and has a history with it, but I don’t think [...]
Dear Secretary Hillary Clinton, Sometimes I Love You
I’ve clearly had my differences with Sec. Clinton (like all of 2008!) but sometimes she wins. Like here, where she just laughs her ass off at the mere mention of foreign policy moron John Bolton:
Sarah Palin Latest To Forget She Was On Tape
Remember when Sarah Palin attacked Hillary Clinton for “whining” when under attack? As we know quite well, one thing you can never accuse Hillary Clinton of being is… a quitter.
Hillary Clinton To Hire Sidney Blumenthal At State, Good Idea?
NY Times: Hillary Clinton Enlists Blumenthal for State Dept. Post
Flashback: Sidney Blumenthal Uses Former Right-Wing Foes To Attack Obama
Almost every day over the past six months, I have been the recipient of an email that attacks Obama’s character, political views, electability, and real or manufactured associations. The original source of many of these hit pieces [...]
State Dept. Helped Keep Twitter Up
Good job.
The U.S. State Department contacted the social networking service Twitter over the weekend to urge it to delay a planned upgrade that could have cut daytime service to Iranians, a U.S. official said on Tuesday.
Clinton Slaps Cheney
The ABC News headline to this story is a little misleading. It says that Sec. Clinton “questions” Dick Cheney’s credibility. There isn’t any question in Sec. Clinton’s words what she feels about Cheney’s credibility. She, like the vast majority of Americans, knows he has none.
“Are you in favor of releasing the documents that Dick Cheney [...]
Clinton Mexico City “Gaffe” Another Right Wing Myth
Shocker.
Clinton aide Mary Ellen Glenn emails that the Secretary of State’s question about a relic in a Mexican church — portrayed in the Mexican press and here as a gaffe — was actually a misunderstanding.
Clinton asked, the monsignor showing her around later reportedly told the Mexican press, who had painted the Virgin of Guadalupe on [...]
Secretary Clinton Didn’t Stand Up To China
And now a State Dept. report is underlining her mistake.
The United States on Wednesday scolded China for a litany of human-rights abuses last year even though Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton suggested during her recent Beijing visit that the issue would take a back seat to broader concerns like the global financial crisis.
In a [...]
Bitter Clinging
Big Tent Democrat (aka Armando) is still bitter, when even Secretary Clinton has moved on. Sheesh.
Secretary Of State Hillary Clinton
John “I Think It’s Understandable Why People Shoot Judges” Cornyn’s lame gambit has failed.
The Senate has confirmed Hillary Rodham Clinton to become secretary of state.
The Senate vote was overwhelmingly in favor of the former first lady despite lingering concerns by some Republicans that her husband’s charitable fundraising overseas could pose a conflict of interest.
Republicans and [...]
Three Words On That Atlantic Clinton Story
Bullet. Freaking. Dodged.

NY Times Writes Up Some Masterful Satire
Usually when I want cutting edge satire I turn to The Onion, but this Sunday’s New York Times takes the cake. Apparently those zany kids at the Grey Lady wrote up an “op-ed” by “Mark Penn”. In the rollicking good column “Penn” claims that the reason Sen. Clinton lost was because of money and not [...]
