Chicago Tribune: Hillary Clinton, Keep her Out of the White House
Chicago Tribune - It seems that virtually every Barack Obama supporter that I have spoken with over the past year believes that Hillary Clinton -along with her husband Bill Clinton- would have preferred that Obama lose to John McCain so as to pave the way for her Presidency in 2012. And they believe that the Clintons worked behind the scenes toward this end, despite their public support for Barack Obama. I believe that it is highly likely that Barack Obama himself shared this viewpoint. The widely held beli

Hillary Clinton Makes Off-Off-Broadway Appearance, Courtesy Actress Mia Barron
Barack Obama may have won the presidency, but Hillary Clinton has hardly disappeared from our consciousness. Will she be our next Secretary of State? Would she have more influence in the Senate? Or is she too junior there to wield the kind of power she'd have in the cabinet? For the past sixteen years, since Bill Clinton first touted his marriage as a twofer of leadership, Americans have examined his wife's choices, no matter how minor or how grand. Mia Barron, who plays the lady herself in the new off-of

Bill Clinton: New York's New Senator?
There is a movement afoot in New York political circles to make sure that if (okay: when) Hillary Clinton accepts the post as Barack Obama's Secretary of State, that her Senate seat is filled by hubby Bill. "He'd be the perfect person to fill out his wife's term," a source close to the power couple told RADAR. "It's all in the 'talking' stage now, but when things do happen they'll happen quickly." The move wouldn't be unprecedented for a former President. The 6th U.S. Chief Executive, John Quincy Adam

Move Over, Paris and Nicole — Barack and Hillary Are the Hottest Frenemies Now
After some nervous back-and-forth, some hand-wringing over husband Bill — and some should-I or shouldn’t-I conversations with friends and colleagues — it appears Hillary Clinton has decided to accept the top post at the U.S. State Department. All that’s left is the formal announcement. Some wonder why Hillary, a respected senator, is agreeing to work with former rival Barack Obama.  Well, for starters, he’s likely to treat her better than the last Democratic president. Rel

Assembly Minority Leader Jim Tedisco, who helped Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos bar David Paterson from making budget cuts during the special session, is asking Paterson to make a "bipartisan" appointment to Hillary Clinton's seat. Asked about be being succeeded by Clinton, Condoleezza Rice declined to comment, but said she was confident the country would be in "good hands." Adolfo Carrion, who has not spoken with the media since news he may be up for a cabinet job, will appea

Hillary Clinton Bests Sarah Palin (in Poll)
It doesn't really matter, since neither is running for President, but a poll of 600 women nationwide found that female voters think Hillary Clinton is a "better mom, role model and leader" than vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin. Some stats: 61% prefer Clinton to Palin (27%) if the two women ran against each other in 2012 and 35% think Clinton is a better mother than Palin (24%). Pollster Mickey Blum explains to the Daily News, "Palin appeals to a much smaller group." And while the vice-presidenti

From Barack to Brad & Angelina: Meet the 8 of '08
The year of 2008 was remarkable for a variety of reasons, politically and entertainment-wise, and now "The Insider" is singling out eight remarkable persons for their incredible impact: The "8 of '08." Kicking off the list is Miley Cyrus, currently lending her voice to the animated family film 'Bolt' opposite John Travolta. From movies to magazines to her second album Breakout debuting at No. 1, Miley is taking the world by storm -- all before the age of 16! "At the end of 2007, I said that I wanted 2

Elsewhere: Suozzi Madness, Lieberman on Obama
Speculation about Tom Suozzi taking Hillary Clinton's Senate seat suddenly spread today, leading one national politics blogger to write, "Thomas who?" There's also speculation that Clinton can't constitutionally take the job. Bob Gates will stay at the Department of Defense. Barack Obama says he will not do favors for his friends. Joe Lieberman says that everything Obama has done "since election night" has been "about perfect." Under pressure from Andrew Cuomo,

Clinton, Paterson on Term Limits
While Governor David Paterson and Senator Hillary Clinton were on hand to honor ten fallen firefighters from across the state (including four from NYC) at a ceremony in Albany, naturally the two lawmakers were asked about term limits. According to the Times Union's Capitol Confidential, Paterson said, "I don't really have an opinion on term limits," (aside from loving the idea of a third Bloomberg term) but added, "What we've got to be in government is consistent." And Clinton "said she agrees with her g

First Night 24: Redemption, Sky One
Whoops! They got that wrong. I'm talking about "US President-Elect, Allison Taylor, America's first female head of state", according to 24: Redemption, last night's long-awaited television movie version of 24 (a couple of hectic hours from one afternoon, instead of the whole day – 2 would have been a more accurate title). I guess whenever they started writing this one-off special bridging the gap between series six and seven, Hillary Clinton must have seemed a sh

Bloomberg's Praise for Secretary Clinton
Speaking before Clinton arrived at the Plaza for an awards ceremony for a Randall's Island sports foundation on the evening of Nov 24, Bloomberg told the crowd of wealthy donors and prominent New Yorkers, "I assume she is going to be secretary of state. It has not been officially announced I gather, so we can't presume. But let's assume for the sake of argument that Hillary Clinton is the next secretary of state. I think she is going to be a wonderful secretary of state. I've had the luck of working with he

It's Been Much Too Long
La Pequeña has returned to us! I was beginning to think she fell down the toilet or was eaten by a house cat or something. Thankfully, none of those things happened, so she was able to give us this amazing video. La Pequena Hillary Clinton is back and this time she's pissed at America for not giving her the nomination! She's so fucking angry that she's turned into La Pequeña Hillary Hulk! She's like a cute, tiny, grouchy pickle person! This is what the real Hillary probably looks like when she tries to p

Con chi vorrebbero passare il Thanksgiving Day gli Americani?
Come sapete la giornata di domani Giovedi 26 novembre è molto sentita in America, non solo perchè si spera che finalmente Obama renda ufficiale il nome di Hillary Clinton così tutte le femministe del mondo potranno esultare alla faccia di Lewinsky e Carfagne varie, ma soprattutto perchè è una delle feste più tradizionali e legate al mondo familiare. E a questo proposito, AOL ha fatto un sondaggio e 3000 lettori hanno dato le loro risposte su quale celebrità avrebbero voluto invitare a condividere il

Page Six claims that Bill and Hillary Clinton's tepid support of Barack Obama is due to the Democratic nominee's refusal to promise Mrs. Clinton a spot on the Supreme Court if Mr. Obama gets elected. Clinton reps responded, "Absurd. Nonsense. Rubbish. Hogwash. Malarkey."

Sarah Palin = Star Wars, Hillary Clinton = Star Trek [Political Science (fiction)]
The Republicans tried to replace Hillary Clinton in the hearts of millions of women voters by giving us Sarah Palin as John McCain's running mate. But Palin hasn't quite proved to be the perfect Hillary replacement. Could it be their differing policies? Nah. It's really the fact that Hillary is totally Star Trek, while Sarah is 100 percent Star Wars. And there's no substituting between those two things. Conclusive proof below. Hillary is technobabble, Sarah is The Force. Ask Hillary how she plans to refor

Your Grievance For the Next Four Years: "Voter Fraud" [Predictions]
If the Democrats pull this off and win the presidential election, the Republican "noise machine" will not simply give up and devote themselves to charity. They will need to undermine and delegitimize President Obama as much and as loudly as possible, non-stop, for the entirety of his term. Early predecessors of this strategy include claims that John Kennedy stole the 1960 election with Chicago Mayor Richard Daley's corrupt machine and reminding everyone that Bill Clinton didn't win a majority of the vote i

OBAMA’S STEADINESS
TIME’s Joe Klein, though not a conservative, is someone who (1) respects McCain and (2) like many of us has watched in amazement the transformation McCain has undergone from 8 years ago. Here Klein contrasts Obama’s level headedness in a crisis with McCain’s, well, insanity. “Part of Obama’s steadiness is born of necessity: An angry, or flashy, black man isn’t going to be elected President. But I’ve also gotten the sense, in the times I’ve interviewed and c
