Fox News confirms what the NYT reported moments ago. She officially surrenders her independent political power and will officially carry the water for a misogynist who bullied her out of the race in the first place. That initial surrender, unfortunately, was just a sign to come of her willingness to always be in the shadow of a man who does not like women. What a deep disappointment. I loathe having to link to the NYTs here, but I have to do it.

AND wasn't she part of the crew that ignored Bin Laden and Al Qaeda for eight years. Okay, I guess I - personally - feel a little bit safer. We'll see. What baffles me is how this goes as a political move. Yes, ...

Department. I said what I wanted to say on this matter so I won't
repeat myself, but it continues to stun me that we are viewing the
position of Secretary of State as being something akin to
Homecoming King/Queen, to be handed out to someone with starpower
