Hillary’s “Shit or get off the pot” moment
After my last post, I said I was going to leave it alone but my on going smoldering anger and this diary by Mash have collided into a new Hiney Shiney moment for me.
When Andera “Brunhilde” Mitchell rode her horse on stage screaming for the troops to take up arms, Hillary may have been back in the castle biting her nails with loud wails of “Why me, Lord?” Sen. Clinton may have suddenly remembered how Washington works. Say, for example, “I did not have sex with that woman!” and "Iam not a thief!" Lie and that only gas up the adrenaline of the pack. Cry wolf and you have to pay the price. Say you know something and you will be challenged. Pretend you are smart and the same thing happens; you will be challenged.
Sen. Clinton may remember the Fox commenter Steve Doosey coming on the Washington television scene as a funny guy. Everything was a joke with him. He fancied himself as one of the funniest if not the funniest guy alive. That is until his co-workers manipulated him onto the stage at a comedy club with cameras rolling urging him to do a comedy routine. This was his fifteen minuets! It was a classic Washington “Got’cha moment” and Steve was a disaster!
Sen. Clinton knows by now she is check-mate! She knows she can no longer sit back and extol her foreign policy policies as opposed to now Pres. Obama. She knows now she is no longer in a position to throw mud at his inexperience in the area of foreign policy being once again checked by Vice Pres. Biden’s position. “Boo hoo” she cries. “What to do now?” she ask.
She now knows no foreign country has backed her pending appointment as they did with the notion of Sen. Obama becoming President of the United States. She now knows many voters do not like her, “Boo hoo,” she cries and they do not want to see her representing them around the world. She now knows she may not be re-elected to the senate in ’12 due to her bizarre conduct during the primaries and, alas, she may realize she would be the only person in the Obama administration lacking genuine political talents and skills with many of them having sophisticated reading and writing habits. Now she knows why the Republicans preferred her as the front runner due to the fact they could have gotten her on her lack of knowledge, temperament, managerial and organizational skills and the possible collided dealings of her husband, Bill. “Boo hoo” she cries. (sniff, sniff slurp)
Finally, she knows now as reported in a few of the comments in the diary, “…her foreign policy expertise is lacking and exaggerated.” WOW! Gazing upon my Hiney Shiney is soooo much fun!
As always,
BB
P.S. ….If only she had not said and supported that Bobby Kennedy assassination mime during the primaries! GRRRR! I still have nightmares!
Hillary Clinton At State: Toward A Weak Foreign Policy

Excerpt:
The Secretary of State represents the President of the United States. As such, the job comes with instant stature. In foreign capitals those wishing to do business with the United States do not let a call from the Secretary of State go to voicemail regardless of who occupies the position. As long as the Secretary of State is seen to represent the President of the United States, that representation brings stature.
And
The problem with Clinton as Secretary of State of course is the drama surrounding such an appointment. As is evidenced by the chatter in the media and the many leaks of this public courtship, it is not clear who Hillary Clinton will be serving and with how much vigor. To the extent Hillary Clinton is seen to represent herself, and not President Obama, she will diminish the effectiveness of the position she aspires to hold. As noted by others, the perception of daylight - even if they manage to actually be on the same page - between Clinton and Obama will be enough to undermine American diplomacy.
