On Hillary at State
Taylor Marsh —
... With Clinton at State, reports saying she’s
accepted, which I frankly never doubted, the choice of Gen. Jim Jones for
national security advisor adds more strength, but one that will likely cause
caterwauling. The pieces of the national security puzzle are fitting slowly into
place revealing that President-elect Obama is not only shoring up perceptions,
but also triangulating to strengthen his ability to walk in and make the final push
on any national security issue easier. I’m getting more confident about our foreign
policy by the day. Others, ...

Hillary says yes
The Reaction —
By Creature Hillary Rodham Clinton will be the next Secretary of State. Good? Bad? Who knows. My initial positive reaction to the pick has been tempered somewhat by the media circus that followed (and, may I stress, media circus, as in media created and driven). Personally, I think Hillary is a hard worker, as evidenced by her time as senator, and drama-free as such a worker. I do not believe Bill will be a distraction either. Was he as Hillary ...

Clinton Accepts?
The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan —
That's what the Times is reporting. Ackerman is afraid that Clinton will fill the State Department with loyalists: Obama loyalists wonder whether the same people who attacked Obama on foreign policy during the primaries can implement Obama’s agenda from State Dept. perches. “Look, Clinton and Obama are both smart people,” said one Democratic official who would not speak for the record, “and I’m sure their one-on-one relationship would be OK. But when you hire a Clinton, you hire more than just that one person, you get the entire package.” If Clinton ...

Chuck and Dave Hug It Out
JammieWearingFool —
... This is really kind of pathetic. I suspect if David Paterson had better vision, the last person he'd be clinging to is the reptilian Chuckie Schumer. Well, now that Queen Hillary of Rodham has ascended to the throne at State, it just so happens to be up to the accidental governor to select her replacement. And since the demure, camera-shy Schumer has spent the better part of the past eight years toiling in the shadows of Her Thighness, keeping a low profile by holding only 37 press conferences a week, he's decided it's his time to shine. Meaning if Paterson knows what's good ...
