Hillary can have Secretary of State. She'd be the third woman in that office (Albright and Rice having worked their way up the hard way), so I won't have to hear Hillary babbling about having "made history" (though I'm sure she'll find a way to claim it's historic anyway). It would be galling to see a true historic first claimed by a woman who rode her husband's coattails. Give her State to get her out of the way so another Democrat can have her Senate seat, then try to get the media focus on the women senators and governors who actually worked hard all their lives to get where they are. It would be nice to see Salon write more articles about women political figures other than Hillary (I like McCaskill and Duckworth).
The Senate will probably be delighted to see her go. Apparently, she's not happy about their rules of seniority and feels she should be fast-forwarded into plum committee chairs ahead of those who've served longer. Also, it'll get her to stop nagging Kennedy to let her screw up health care again.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
