Hillary Clinton likes to remind people, including her husband, that she's the secretary of state, but her role has now expanded to became the hotel booking agent for screwy Libyan dictator Moammar Khadafy.

The State Department was desperately trying to avoid an international incident by finding Khadafy a place in the city so he doesn't put down stakes, literally, by pitching a tent in Englewood, N.J.

"We are involved in discussions" on the Khadafy dilemma, said State Department spokesman Ian Kelly.

"We, of course, are sensitive to the concerns" of whoever might have to share the neighborhood with Khadafy, Kelly said, adding, "No decision has been made ... regarding where he will stay."

Khadafy put the State Department on the spot by announcing that he wanted to make his first trip to the U.S. to attend the UN General Assembly session next month. The State Department has the charge of issuing visas to the Libyan delegation, providing security and finding accommodations.

Why can’t he shack up with Bubba in those Harlem digs?

I am sure Bubba would like to be introduced to Daffy Duck’s all woman bodyguard unit.
