Hillary Clinton is hiring some of her most aggressive aides to watch her back when she becomes Secretary of State, sparking concerns among allies of President-Elect Barack Obama that the primary election season's partisan aggression will carry into government.
The former first lady has indicated that she wants to rebuild "Hillaryland", her coterie of controlling, defensive and at times paranoid circle of admirers and supporters at the heart of US diplomacy.
Three members of Mrs Clinton's inner circle have already been told they will get top State Department jobs ...
Maggie Williams, Mrs Clinton's longtime confidante, who was called in to overhaul her dysfunctional presidential campaign, compared by some to a circular firing squad...
Other advisers will include Cheryl Mills, the no-nonsense Clinton impeachment lawyer...
Philippe Reines, her Senate press secretary ... who has been described by journalists as "power hungry" and "highly controlling", had one reporter suspended after he made a disparaging remark about Miss Clinton during the campaign.
Huma Abedin, Mrs Clinton's ferociously loyal traveling aide during the campaign...
Mr Obama, who gave Mrs Clinton carte blanche to pick her own staff...

Maggie Williams, oo onspirator in the Vine Foster matter.
It may be a painful 4 years or more, but it will certainly crank up popcorn sales.
The far left has already decided to take care of Hillary. There is a front page article in the Seattle Times about how Hillary, Schumer and Arlen Spector took campaign donations in exchange for an earmark which ensured the military continue to buy an inferior chemical warfare protectorant.

Sure glad I'm no longer associated with the State Department. It was bad enough when Maddie Halfbright and Susan Rice were involved.
I don’t think the Obama team is worried at all.
Woof.
Hillary may have BHO’s birth certificate and his Indonesian passport ?
It’s fun, isn’t it, to see that the only incisive reporting on the new administration is coming only from foreign papers.
Now that only Dems are in power, the MSM has nothing bad or even analytical to say about politics. I’ve been reading such stories only in European or Australian papers.
The American media is a dead man walking.
The list of closures, firings, layoffs ...is massive.
Barry’s naiveté is astounding. He’s worried about people’s MySpace pages and getting more poets in the WH, while the Clintons are already mounting a coup from the State Department
The stock market may be crashing, but it's definitely a time to buy Orville Redenbacher stocks.
We could take bets on how long Marse Hillary lasts as SoS. We could also take bets on who ends up in Ft. Marcy Park next. We can't deny that Obambi's good; he's got a well-funded slick machine with the full support of the MSM. He even managed to take the nomination away from Her Gaianess. Now let's see how he puts up with her.
It's definitely popcorn time.:)
The socialist libs are so FUBAR, it is a tragedy of unseen proportion. They are going to shaft this country beyond belief....and each other in the process. Let us PRAY this will set the stage nicely for 2012, and maybe a few PUBLIC GROUND SWELLS in the process —
Give them enough rope — and let THEM finish the job.
THE RETURN OF THE KNEECAPPERS
