Clinton plays it close to the vest

  U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, who is giving the keynote address at the New York State Public Transit Industry conference in Albany today started off her speech by saying she wasn’t going to talk about the possibility of her becoming President Barack Obama’s secretary of state. The information was reported yesterday, with inside sources quoted.Â
  This is what she said at the top of her speech (from Joseph Spector of Gannett News Service, who is in attendance):
  “I am not going to speculate or address anything about the president-elect’s incoming administration.Â
  “And I’m going to respect his process, and any inquiries should be directed to his transition team.”

Bill would probably enjoy being appointed Ambassador to Great Britain so he can put a little water between himself and Hillary. Reading old Joe Kennedy’s biography might give him a little insight on how to further build up his portfolio. Or, is that job, as rumored, being held for Oprah? If so, maybe Bill could take over Oprah’s show.
SPEAKING ABOUT SCOTCH…....
scotchandsoda was, of course, the not too hidden point.
IT MUST BE A “KINGS RANSOM”
Consultant: The Statutes of Limitations have, of course, run out on whatever your Uncle Maltie or old Joe did or might have done. The families can enjoy the residual cash and Pinch themselves. That’s Black and White, no matter what lessons the Teachers of history up on their high White Horse(s) try to impart. :)
cool…got it…haig and haig…etc…you must be my
age…but actually you can look up kings ransom and
google it and read the kefauver transcripts…i am so
proud..we provided a service..the people wanted scotch
and they got it….and i have several bottles from
all over the world waiting to be open when my son
graduates college..betcha sam doesn;t get it!!!
Speaking of Haig, our retired four star general, when he was caught smoking a Havana Roller by an inquisitive reporter, and was asked if he though smoking a Cuban cigar might be thought of as “fraternizing with the enemy,” he replied: “I rather like to think of it as burning the enemy crops to the ground.”
Ed…Even if Haig never said that, and I’ll take your word for it that he did—he should have.
Jiminy – I read this long ago as true, but sorry I don’t any longer have the direct reference to point to. Haig was a character, no doubt. You probably remember, when the President was shot, he stated that he, personally, had everything under control, conveniently forgetting that he was at best fourth or fifth on the list of succession.
Ed1 and Jiminy: here’s a great Alexander Haig moment.
In 1992, Haig had just undergone quadruple-bypass surgery.
He was seen shortly afterward on a boat offshore South Carolina chain-smoking. And laughing.
When Gen. Haig was Secretary of State, from 1981-82, he NEVER smoked in public, although he downed two packs of butts a day. He said to private State Department employees that it would give the wrong impression, if he smoked in public, as Nancy Reagan was cleaning the White House ashtrays every day.
Gen Haig (“I am now in control, here in the White House”) is still alive and kicking.
And God Bless him.
He got us through Watergate.
And I’m having another cigarette.

Zyskandar. . .you are correct, sir! (In the words of Ed McMahon complimenting Johnny Carson.)
I think I’m signing off of these boards.
Having watched too many “Law & Orders.”

Zyskandar, bro:

Ain’t good old-fashioned, straightforward alliteration just one of the best things ever? Congrats, Tim, for adding the “bring.”
