  Senator Hillary Clinton is a megalomaniacal power monger whose only interest is her own narcissistic satisfaction. Her only foreign affairs experience was allegedly in Bosnia, and it turned out she lied about that. Obama is an idiot for even considring her as a part of his inner circle. Come on my fellow Americans, are we going to let this happen. 

  FIRE HER BEFORE SHE IS HIRED. THIS PERSON ALONG with her hedonistic and philandering husband Billy are notheing more than blackmailing hillbillies.

The Lion is Back
Taylor Marsh — ... with the reality being that HRC doesn’t have it, seniority that is, and Teddy does. No doubt it’s one of the prevailing predicaments of Hillary’s current Senate reality. It’s got to make the secretary of state job all that more appealing. Whether the political and financial complexities surrounding the most powerful couple on the global stage can be reconciled to make this happens is another story all together. With the people on Fox News Channel already worried about how Obama would fire her. ...

SOS
Eschaton — SOS I don't think I'm going to be able to worked up about Obama's personnel decisions generally, but I agree that the idea that Hillary Clinton might go "rogue" or need to be fired is just absurd. The Clintons just drive the media insane.

A team player
Political Animal — ... that to the party over the last three months of the campaign, when she hit the trail in support of the Democratic ticket she wasn't on? Clinton wouldn't accept the opportunity if she weren't prepared to help execute Obama's foreign policy and diplomatic goals. It's as simlpe as that. As Atrios concluded , "I don't think I'm going to be able to worked up about Obama's personnel decisions generally, but I agree that the idea that Hillary Clinton might go 'rogue' or need to be fired is just absurd.

Hullabaloo — Redirecting The Hate by digby I was going to make note of this, but I see that Eric Boehlert is there ahead of me: Of course, Clinton has not been tapped for the position, but a number of pundits, in what may be a Beltway first, have wondered out loud about how Clinton would be/could be fired as Secretary of State. Does that strike anybody else as odd? Not me. The Clintons simply drive some people crazy. It's a clinical diagnosis. I heard someone on the radio yesterday talking about it as if she ...

Hardball: Chris Hitchens Gets His Clinton Hate On
Crooks and Liars — ... The back-stabbing Bill and Hillary meme (one entirely conceived by GOP strategists, dutifully regurgitated in the media and swallowed sadly all-too-often by otherwise smart liberals) has gotten so out of hand that as Eric Boehlert reports for Media Matters, Fox News is already openly contemplating how Obama needs to fire her. For a job that (as of this writing) she has not been announced for and that does not take effect for another two months. Strike anyone else as premature? ...
