NYT: White House advisors totally surprised by Obama-Clinton press conference
Hot Air ^ | DECEMBER 10, 2010 | ALLAHPUNDIT

Oh, I’ll bet they were. Say what you will about Axe, Gibbsy, and the rest of the crew, but I’d like to think they have the basic political common sense to avoid photo ops where the president has to skip out after a minute or two to go eat gingerbread cookies.

I’d like to think The One had the same basic political common sense, but … we learn something new every day, don’t we?

The leader of the free world and the ex-leader wandered a deserted hallway, past the offices of the senior advisers, only to discover the door to the press corps briefing room locked.

ALTHOUGH ... he would if he could and probably has been looking for the loophole that would let him.

"He's thin and gaunt, with any luck he's sick and joins Teddy K soon.

We've got good medicine in this country. You might think Clinton is one step into the graveyard, but the doctors will keep him fit for a romp on the astoturf-lined truck bed. They don't call him Slick Willy for nothing.

I bet he challenges Zer0 in the primaries, and runs for a third term.

As much as we hate him, Clinton may be the best “politican” of our lifetime.

"This shows how much his is in over his head and desperate."

Here is your rewrite: This shows how much he is in over his head. And it shows how desperate is Zer0.

loophole:
can he not RUN? or can he not SERVE?

What if he ran in the primary against 0 and totally upset the results?

Of course he will be disqualified, but what would a BC on the ballot do to the placing for 2nd and 3rd?

Would 0 be knocked out of 2nd place allowing a second tier candidate to rise up to be next in line?

Interesting and unexpected that both SecTreas Geithner and Special Envoy Holbrooke have checked into hospitals today.
Maybe they want to beat the rush.

*snip*

She emerges in the confidential cable traffic as tough as any man, eager to deal with the Saudis as the unreliable ally they pretend not to be. In one signed memorandum she calls Saudi Arabia the largest source of money for Islamist terror gangs.

*snip*

This is the kind of tough talk that diplomats never use in public - many of them don’t know how to talk this tough even in private - and the secretary of state was as abashed as anyone in official Washington with the WikiLeaks disclosures.

Diplomats must be able to speak freely to each other and to the home office without eavesdroppers. Nevertheless, embarrassing or not, the cable traffic reveals Mrs. Clinton as one of the toughest people in an administration of softies. But she clearly doesn’t want to go back to the future.

The secretary of state, who had repeatedly discouraged talk that she might run for president again, maybe even reprise her run against Mr. Obama, last week came close to taking “a Sherman” - named for the Civil War general who famously scotched presidential speculation with his vow that “if nominated I will not run, if elected I will not serve.”
