Likely Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry is considering tapping ex-President Bill Clinton to head up his foreign policy team as Secretary of State.
When asked about making the offer to Clinton, Kerry spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter went out of her way to avoid denials.
"President Clinton would clearly help the United States regain the respect of our allies across the world," Cutter told the New York Daily News on Thursday, before insisting it was too early to name potential Cabinet picks.
Tapping the ex-prez for the top foreign policy post could help the Kerry campaign solve one of its thorniest problems: How to keep the Clintons from sabotaging his presidential bid without having to put Hillary on the ticket.
Not only is Kerry said to fear being overshadowed in any Kerry-Hillary paring, but he doesn't relish the prospect of spending the next eight years watching Mrs. Clinton in his rear view mirror.

Always amazed how the left somehow believes Billybob Clinton and his boss Hillary as somehow being qualified for anything.

This should be good for an additional 5 to 10 percentage points for GWB.

....he doesn't relish the prospect of spending the next eight years watching Mrs. Clinton in his rear view mirror. 1.) No rear view mirror is wide enough.
2.) Like his life expectancy would be eight years! lol

No way. Bill would be way more overshadowing than Hillary, even despite the different positions -- really, in part because of the different positions, since the VP has almost no real work to do (other than breaking Senate ties).

OMG....I haven't even thought of this possibilty...I was thinking UN...

Roger Hedgecock, sitting in for Rush, said he heard that Tom Brokaw is on Kerry's short list for VP.

I still can't believe anyone could even think Hillary or Bill can get Kerry elected. If either of them were to be associated with Kerry's ticket there would be such a backlash of negativity against Kerry that he would probably lose every state in the fall elections!
