Hillary Clinton Looking Forward To Coffee With Sarah Palin
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin fished for a coffee date with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton in her book "Going Rogue" -- and one day she will get it.
PD toolbar!
Clinton, in Singapore with President Obama, was asked about Palin's hat tip to her in her book, out this week. Clinton, a 2008 presidential candidate, and Palin, John McCain's running mate, have never met.
Palin writes, "Should Secretary Clinton and I ever sit down over a cup of coffee, I know that we will fundamentally disagree on many issues. But my hat is off to her hard work on the 2008 campaign trail. A lot of her supporters think she proved what Margaret Thatcher proclaimed. 'If you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman.'"
George Stephanopoulos, host of ABC's This Week asked Clinton if she would sit down with her.
Clinton replied, "Well, you know, I've never met her. Look, I'd look forward to sit down and talk with her. Obviously we're going to hear a lot more from her in the upcoming weeks with her book coming out and I would look forward to having a chance to actually get to meet her."
Clinton sidestepped Stephanopoulous asking if the media was fair to her.
"Well, you know George, I'll leave that for my book if I ever write another one," she said.
Over at NBC's Meet the Press, host David Gregory asked Clinton not only if she would have coffee with Palin-but if she would read her book. Clinton was even more enthusiastic about meeting Palin in this reply.
"Well, I absolutely would look forward to having coffee. I've never met her. And I think it would be, you know, very interesting to sit down and talk with her," Clinton said.
"And I've got more than I could say grace over to read, but obviously in the next week there's going to be a lot of attention paid to her book. And I'm sure that, you know, I'll see excerpts printed and, you know, snippets of interviews as I, you know, channel surf in, in Singapore and in Shanghai and in Beijing. But, you know, I'm ready to have a cup of coffee. Maybe I can make a case on some of the issues that we disagree on."

Clinton: Sarah, would you like one or two lumps with your coffee?
Sarah: I'll have 2 thanks. (Then Hillary watches as Sarah bangs her head

Most people posting on this website are blind followers of republicans and haters. As a result, this comment will get low stars.
Why are you people complaining that he bowed to the emperor? That's their custom, just like we shake hands. Stop being an ignorant moron. Obama is trying to gain allies and give America a better image. He's trying to restore the image that other idiot destroyed. YES, there ARE other countries with people in them. I know that comes as a shock to many of you tunnel eyed idiots.
Voting for a republican is the same as voting for corporations. At least Obama has the courage to stand up against these healthcare tyrants. That being said, how much WORSE would our economy be if GM WASN'T bailed out?! One of our largest and oldest companies, jobs all around the country would've been lost.
I for one respect Obama. I respect him for doing what has to be done, even if it makes him look bad.
P.S. Seriously, Palin is a f**king joke!

I think Greta Van Susteren should have both women in the studio for an on-air show. That would be a great ratings boost and a significant boost for both women.

What Lynn left out were these Hilary gems;
"Obviously we're going to hear a lot more from (Palin) in the next few weeks with her book coming out"
RE the upcoming NY Trial of the 9/11 Hijackers; "This is the decision that the AG, DoJ & DoD have made After exhausting review.. The 911 attackers should pay the ultimate penalty for what they did to the United States and to a lot of people that I know, have the opportunity & honor in representing.. and the AG, DoJ & SoD (Gates) have determined after consulting with veteran prosecutors that this is a case (9/11 plotters/implementers KSM et al) that appropriately can be brought in our federal Courts, with other cases that will be brought (before) Milt commissions"
"I am not going to Second Guess the attorney General"
"I am not running for NY Gov or (President) & if you could put that in a little box and put that out somewhere, I would appreciate that George"
"As Secretary of State I do not discuss (Domestic) POLITICS!"
See ya Sarah, you're not gong to be riding Hilary's coattails any time soon, if ever!

Clinton doesn't need the publicity. She has not shirked her job, quit her job or gained any points by lying about her knowledge. She was a successful lawyer and the Presiden'ts wife. What is Palin ??????

I think it is sad that people take Sara Palin seriously. Very sad for our country, and very sad for the republician party. She is an embarassment. Period.
Where does she exceed? She wouldn't even complete her term as governor. The only claim to experience that would have been vital. Five colleges if five years? What a flake! Her commitment as a parent leaves MUCH to be desired. I will grant her the marriage she has kept in place.
Wake up, stop drinking the Palin juice!
If people stop talking about her, maybe she will go away!

Frank: Sarah Palin's supporters don't care if she is ignorant of policy, world affairs, history, and is the subject of numerous ethical violations of rules that protect the public. She's the candidate of the uneducated, and of course the right wing Republican "base", you know, racists, misogynists, neo-nazi's, religious extremists, and the pathetically stupid. I thank God everyday for the brilliant Barack Obama who has restored our standing in the world and actually walks the Christian walk. I'm just wondering what Palin could say that would be worth 5 minutes of Hilary Clinton's valuable time.

Hmmmm, add Palin and Clinton to the female chauvinist / sexist / misandrist camp of Nancy Pelosi and Margaret Thatcher, et aliae.
Quite an achievement, "ladies".

What could the Secretary of State have in the way of time to sit down with the self seeking glamour of Palin? Nothing would come of it but support for Palin's book and the vitriol it's written with. Who was Sarah Palin before McCain plucked her out of obscurity? No one. A governor of a State who barely made it on board the USA vis a vis the sale of Seward's Icebox from Russia. I think Hillary has a great deal more to do then join a Kaffe Klatche with the spurned quitter.
