Yeah, I'm a little skeptical of anyone welcoming HRC with more than open arms there--not just open armed but on the ground crying the way they make it sound??...I mean, even if Condi wasn't the world's best boss, Hil as Savior takes a bit of mind twisting, I'm thinking.
I don't give half a hump if you're innocent or not. So where does that put you?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Has Hilary always been like this, or is she channeling Obamna?
I suspect that among his skills we're going to find "bringing out the best in those around him".

Ann, that's a ferret.
All a reporter needs is one person to say X, Y, or Z. The reporter takes the quote and claims the whole organization feels the same way.
I don't know State to suggest how the employees feel about the changeover. But I can believe that Rice was highly unpopular, what with (1) Defense taking over so much of the lead on foreign policy, and (2) things like, "Go to Baghdad or you're fired!"

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I hate to post questions when I'm at work and hence likely to get distracted, but what is up with Caroline Kennedy? What happened?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I just can't imagine four years without e-mail. I'm not a particularly high-tech sort, and it occurs to me that e-mail sent to and from an isolated server and moved elsewhere for archiving would be of minimal risk, and I'm sure some of y'all have better ideas.
Can't Cheney erase computers just by walking by them? I can see him saying "Are you sure there was a memo about that?" and then there'd be a flash and a whiff of sulphur
Lisa and Bob are so cute.
I’m gonna be asking a lot of you, I want you to think outside the proverbial box.
Dear NASA: Please send that damn box to Mars. Thank you.

Thanks Tom and Trudy. I had read the article in NYT, which was what prompted me to write. I guess I was just surprised at the weirdness of how quickly things went from published rumor to out-on-her-ass.

My guess is she was not going to be chosen (any number of reasons) and they let her know so that she could withdraw. Then unable to keep the line simple and just refuse to offer any explination, people in her camp looked to Ted's health as a easy out, now the supposition of unpaid taxes on domestic help (que shocker). My gut is she was never gonna get it and her camp is just not politic enough to keep up a solid front.
