Kerry Eyeing Clinton for Secretary of State
Likely Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry is considering tapping ex-President Bill Clinton to head up his foreign policy team give the Euros all they want as Secretary of State.
"No doubt he will be making lots of trips to Havana for cigars"
When asked about making the offer to Clinton, Kerry spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter went out of her way to avoid denials. "President Clinton would clearly screw help the United States regain the respect of the French our allies across the world," Cutter told the New York Daily News on Thursday, before insisting it was too early to name potential Cabinet picks.
"Michael Moore for Drug Czar?- Al Franken for FCC commissioner?"
Tapping the ex-prez for the top foreign policy post could help the Kerry campaign solve one of its thorniest problems: How to keep the Clintons from sabotaging his presidential bid without having to put Hillary on the ticket.
"You heard it from me- she will be on the ticket. Kerryâs health may be questionable. She goes on as VP and may get to be Prez after all if his cancer comes out of remission. Hillary wouldnât miss a chance like this."
Not only is Kerry said to fear being overshadowed in any Kerry-Hillary pairing, but also he doesnât relish the prospect of spending the next eight years watching Mrs. Clinton in his rearview mirror.
"Ketchup lady will fend her off - take that you slut"
