And with Bill along (a future Mideast Uber-envoy?) you’d get two secretaries of State for one. Finally it’ll keep Hillary out of the country a lot rather than inside the Beltway plotting for her comeback in 2012 or 2016.
But there are downsides: Hillary can use State as a major power base from which to undermine Obama administration policies she doesn’t agree with (does anyone doubt there’ll be a few?). And to the extent she succeeds as a diplomat, it raises her profile and lowers Obama’s. Note to John Podesta: Maybe put Hillary—and Bill too--on the Supreme Court instead?
Ya know what else is great about Clinton being offered the Secretary of State job? ALL THE MISOGYNY AND SEXISM. WOOO.
For actual grown up analysis of what Clinton as Secretary of State could mean, visit Anglachel.
