removed myself from consideration due to family concerns Word is that she doesn't want to jump on a sinking ship and will be a part of the Hillary for Goddess team with a view to being SECDEF in the 1st Hillary Administration.

She doesn't want the job, in part, because 2 of her kids will be going to college in
the next 2 years? Sure. Right. Sooo plausible -- ESPECIALLY for a lib.
If this was the "excuse" of a Repub/conservative, she'd be raked over the coals. But then, I'm being logical.

She might not want to face the grilling of a hostile Senate in January.
To: fatnotlazy
The Senate would fall all over themselves confirming her nomination. Some of the most biting questions that she would be asked would include: What sort of color scheme do you recommend for a Spring getaway wedding in the Bahamas?

Moves me up another notch. If I get the job, me and Nancy Pelosi are going on some benders that will make Rolling Stone tours look like an AA meeting.

It’s probably a significant pay cut for her.
Not sure I would take it either if I were asked.

From Beverly Hills, then to Harvard for a social studies degree. Why, she’s a -natural- for secretary of defense!

Its probably a significant pay cut for her. ROFL. But, but, but.... she's a lib! Libs don't care about money! Only the fairness of it all.

She is an effing lite weight (political hack) with no real world experience at anything except bull shit.

Anyone who signs on to this corrupt and incompetent administration for it’s last 2 years is going to have their career destroyed.
There are going to need to be a lot of high level government officials falling on their swords and destroying their professional and personal reputations to cover for the Presidents fecklessness and malfeasance in office.

Bet her name is brought up again if Hillary runs. Flournoy donated to her campaign in 2008.

I'm officially taking myself out of the running for the job as well.
Stop. No begging. Let's just deal with it and move on.

She fits in the admin intellectually. Read her 2007 essay,
The Inheritance and the Way Forward. It's a study in platitudes and naiveté.

Chaz Bono would be perfect for the job.
