Andrea Mitchell: Hillary Wants VP Slot

Hillary-friendly NBC newswoman Andrea Mitchell said Sunday that the former first lady is indeed interested in teaming up with Sen. John Kerry as his vice presidential running mate.

Dismissing the longshot prospect that Sen. John McCain might switch parties to run with Kerry, Mitchell told NBC's "Chris Matthews Show," "I think there's another long ball - Hillary."

"According to Republicans and Democrats on the Hill in the cloakrooms, she is interested in running," Mitchell insisted.

She suggested that Sen. Clinton is "doing what is necessary" right now to show proforma support for Kerry's presidential bid, but would take a much higher profile if she knew such an invitation was in the offing.

You are right. Either way, it could happen. Maybe Hillary! will hire The Donald, and bring Kerry into the boardroom. "John, I'm sorry, YOU'RE FIRED!"

I never really felt that Andrea Mitchell was all that objective in her reporting. Now I know why. And she's just stirring the pot. There's no way that Hillary will be second to a man to get anywhere in life. She would never do that.

All I want to know is how much Andrea Mitchell has made off the Stock Market since she's been married to Alan Greenspan?

And if Senator Klinton wants to be on the losing ticket in November that's her prerogative.

Now for her running mate, Senator Kerry, what about the Navy medical records that supposedly confirm that you received 3 Purple Hearts in Viet Nam? Care to release those records, senator?

And about that meeting in 1971 of the Viet Nam Veterans Against the War where your organization planned the execution of several U.S. senators. I believe you failed to report that meeting to the F.B.I., Senator Kerry.

I know what a long shot is. What's a long ball? Hillary is a long ball? Or has a long ball? Inquiring minds really want to know!

"in the cloakrooms, she is interested in running,"

Well, lets lock the doors, and keep her in the cloakroom.

I should have said "assassination" instead of "execution."

Hillary as Vice President? An excellent strategy. So, if Kerry falls victim to Clinton-cide, Hillary can just move into the Presidential slot without the inconvenience of an election.

Yes, but not even Kerry wants a VP candidate that takes all the attention - not sure he will choose her. But will he have a choice>

Cant' do that. No family member of the President can be appointed to the President's cabinet.

Does that mean she could if they divorce?

I don't really think Kerry is that dumb, but we can only hope.

Oh, yeah...

It would double my pleasure at seeing Kerry lose if Hillary could lose right alongside him.

Knock yourself out, Hillary!

ROFL... you always throw out the most awesome references. Babylon 5 (Kosh), Judge Dredd (and lots of other comics), now Cthulu... I'm very impressed. :)

Honestly, for this one I thought you'd use "And so it begins...", but I suppose it started a long time ago ;)
