'Hillary!' TV Show: Clinton Defense Secretary Rumors Thicken Plot
By Jamie Stiehm - Politics DailyNetwork TV shows met their fates in May. To the dismay of television fans, several long-running series rolled credits on their last original episodes. "Lost" got lost on ABC. NBC lowered the gavel on "Law & Order." Fox decided "24" had run out of time. On a personal note, even my sister Meredith Stiehm's "Cold Case" got left in the cold after seven seasons on CBS. Set here in Washington, however, we have a drama series playing that's not likely to be canceled anytime soon. Though made for television, this political show airs in real time, with assorted character arcs, high production values ...
Hillary Clinton to Defense? How About VP? A Musical Chairs Scenario
By Eleanor Clift - Politics DailyTypically at this point in the life of an administration, we're writing about turf wars and personality clashes, and there have been some in President Obama's case, notably last week's forced resignation of the director of national intelligence, Dennis Blair. But the more unlikely buzz in the no-drama Obama administration is the seamless bond that has developed between Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, a Republican holdover from the Bush administration. It is so remarkable that Politico writes about their relationship almost as if they are office husband ...
Hillary Clinton and Madeleine Albright Dine Together: A 'Women Secretary of State Club'?
By Emily Miller - Politics DailySecretary of State Hillary Clinton and her former counterpart Madeleine Albright had a two-hour dinner in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday night. The two dined at downtown hot spot Bibiana Osteria-Enoteca. At a quiet corner table, the only two Democratic female secretaries of state were seen talking throughout the entire meal. Both women seemingly came straight from work, wearing business suits to dinner. The reason for the dinner and topics of conversation between the two women are unknown. When asked for comment, a State Department spokesman only said the meeting was "a private event" and ...
Hillary Clinton Says Four Years as Secretary of State Will Be Enough
By Christopher Weber - Politics DailyHillary Clinton said she couldn't see herself continuing to serve as secretary of state should President Obama win a second term, ABC reported. In an interview aired Wednesday on PBS, Tavis Smiley asked Clinton whether she could imagine herself "doing it for another four years." She replied "No, I really can't." Clinton didn't rule it out completely but said serving for eight years "would be very challenging. But I, you know, I don't wanna make any predictions sitting here." Clinton also ruled out another run for the presidency, saying she was "absolutely not interested." In an interview with ...
Hillary Clinton's First Year Report Card: The Good, the Bad and the Undecided
By Ria Misra - Politics DailyWith John Heilemann and Mark Halperin's presidential election tell-all, "Game Change," hitting shelves this past week (spoiler: Obama wins), political enthusiasts are arguing over delegates, endorsements and tactical maneuvers with a relish I haven't seen since, well, 14 months ago. There's nothing wrong with rehashing the politics of years past -- and the 2008 presidential election is a particularly fine vintage to sample. But, if in the spirit of looking back we can spare a thought for the year just ended, next week also marks the first anniversary of Hillary Clinton's swearing in as ...
Colin Powell Portrait Unveiled to Tears and Cheers
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyGen. Colin Powell returned to the State Department Monday for an emotional unveiling of his official Secretary of State portrait. Powell and current Secretary of State Hillary Clinton presided over the unveiling of the portrait, which will hang with those of the other former secretaries of State in the secretary's suite of offices. When Powell was introduced to speak in the Ben Franklin room on the top floor at the department, the crowd cheered and applauded loudly. Powell was surrounded his immediate family -- wife Alma Powell, daughter Linda Powell, son Michael Powell, daughter-in-law ...
Hillary is More Popular Than Her Boss
By Walter Shapiro - Politics DailyIt was not quite the tempest triggered by John Lennon claiming in 1966 that the Beatles were more popular than Jesus. But the Gallup Poll got the winds racing through the world's TV studios Thursday with a new survey headlined, "Hillary Clinton Now More Popular Than Barack Obama." According to the Gallup numbers, 62 percent of the voters view Clinton favorably while Obama's thumbs-up rating is down to 56 percent. Most Americans do not know that Nicholas Sarkozy is the president of France and are shaky on the question of whether Israel and Iran share a common border, according to polls by the ...
On the Style and Substance of Hillary Clinton
By Ria Misra - Politics DailyJill, I actually liked Hillary Clinton's shorter haircut better, but I only caught the audio of the speech Wednesday, so I missed the new, longer hair look. What I did catch was how much of the speech was dedicated to acknowledging that it was the president who set the foreign policy agenda and outlining the specific roles Clinton would be taking on. ...
Jill Biden's Gaffe Reveals Obama Campaign Broke the Law
By Mark Impomeni - Politics DailyAppearing on Oprah Winfrey's show this afternoon, Jill Biden, wife of Vice-President elect Joe Biden, made a verbal gaffe that could land the Obama Administration in some hot water. Mrs. Biden let slip that her husband Joe was offered a choice of either the Secretary of State's position or the Vice-Presidency.The potential problem for the Obama Administration goes far beyond the obviously embarrassing revelation that Hillary Clinton was actually the second choice for Secretary of State, however. Promising an appointment to a federal office by a candidate in exchange for support is a crime. ...
Hillary Clinton, No Longer a Victim
By Melinda Henneberger - Politics DailyHillary Clinton was officially relieved of her victimhood today, as Republicans and Democrats at her Senate confirmation hearing mostly competed to see who could register the greater delight in her nomination as President-elect Obama's secretary of state. Republican Senator Richard Lugar, of Indiana, referred to her as "the epitome of a Big-Leaguer." While his colleague Bob Corker gushed that "I'm just a junior senator from Tennessee, but it seems to me that everything has its season, and this is your season." That'll teach her.Of course, in their reduced circumstances, the GOP had nothing to ...
