Hillary Clinton, in Today's News 07.25.09

Hillary Clinton. Clinton has certainly elevated the level of diplomatic discourse recently. (Sarcasm)

Clinton got the ball rolling by calling the North Koreans "small children" demanding attention. Now the North Koreans have responded by calling Clinton a "funny lady" who sometimes "looks like a primary school girl and sometimes a pensioner going shopping."

Yes indeed, Mrs. Clinton is making a new level of contribution to international discourse: name-calling!!

None of this is worth mentioning, except it has entertainment value which is something you can always count on the Clintons to provide.

Incidentally, today's Wall Street Journal has a big page A9 spread on Clinton's plans to lead on foreign policy.

The WSJ comments in paragraph two, "But the emerging structure of the Obama administration's foreign-policy team could challenge the secretary's [Clinton's] influence on some of the pressing issues Washington faces in the coming months."

That's a diplomatic way of saying she is on the outs, and will remain so. The only purpose in having Clinton be the Secretary of State is to keep better track of her and to eliminate any challenges by her.
