Hillary Clinton: "My husband is not secretary of state, I am"
Washington Examiner ^ | 08-10-09 | AP

Posted on 08/10/2009 12:29:42 PM PDT by lifeisacarnival

A week after former President Bill Clinton traveled to North Korea to secure the release of two detained American journalists and stole the limelight from the start of his wife's first trip to Africa, Clinton was clearly displeased by the question at town hall forum in Kinshasa.

"You want me to tell you what my husband thinks?" she replied incredulously when the male student asked her what "Mr. Clinton" thought of World Bank concerns about a multi-billion-dollar Chinese loan offer to the Congo.

"My husband is not secretary of state, I am," an obviously annoyed Clinton said sharply.

Didn’t she say a few years back that “we are the president?”

How many other Secretaries of State send their husbands to “negotiate” the release of hostages?

"My husband is not secretary of state, I am," an obviously annoyed Clinton said sharply.

Proper response: "Oh, yes, that's right Mrs. Clinton, my aopolgy. Let me rephrase: Could you then please tell us what Barrack Obama, Joe Biden thinks?"

Hillary is the most powerless, neutered Secretary of State I’ve seen in years. She’d have been better off staying in the Senate.

I’m hoping that every public forum from now on features at least one intrepid citizen asking a question such as: “Will Mr. Clinton be travelling to Venezuela? And if so, what message will he bring from the president?”

“My husband is not secretary of state, I am,”

She’s like Mike Judge’s Milton character.

“Uh, yeah, Hillary we’re going to need you to move your office to the basement. We’ve got some boxes that need to be stored here. Thanks.”

"My husband is not secretary of state, I am," an obviously annoyed Clinton said sharply. "If you want my opinion, I will tell you my opinion. I am not going to be channeling my husband."

Oh, Hillary - please. If you only could channel your husband. The whole nation would be grateful.

Oh. And one more favor? If you could arrange it so you could channel your boss?

Please? Thanks!

I thought they were a team and when we got one, we got the other as well.

Look how well they worked on the Dubai port authority contract.

Bill got $20 million for brokering the deal and Hillary blamed President Bush.

She already has. Unless she’s quietly planning to seize power, since, after all, she’s only two plane crashes, one botched cosmetic surgery and a pillowcase away from becoming President.

So Hitlary:

Do you think on the flight back from NoKo, that your husband uhhh....did 'em? Are you going to investigate and protect their rights to freedom from sexual harrassment?

Secondly, can you tell us anything about Your Boss' birth certificate?

Y’know, considering who she’s working for and the minor roles to which she’s been relegated, she almost seems benign by comparison. If zer0 ever did anything right, he’s done a pretty good job of humiliating PIAPS.

I was disappointed the Norks couldn't come up with more punchy terms to describe her. "Schoolgirl" and "shopping pensioner?" I thought they had more moxie than that. They just weren't on their game that day, I guess.
