Colin Powell as Hillary's Secretary of State

Hillary praised Colin Powell a while ago and is going to have Dubya's daddy, Poppy Bush as roving good will ambassador.

Do you think Hillary will name Colin Powell Secretary of State?

Hillary: I'll Send Colin Powell Abroad As My Emissary
By Eric Kleefeld - November 27, 2007, 5:58PM
Hillary Clinton reportedly has an interesting idea for who would be a good representative of America: Colin Powell. According to Fox News, Hillary told a South Carolina audience that if elected she would ask people of both parties to go to bat before the world for a new American foreign policy.

"I won't even wait until I'm inaugurated, but as soon as I'm elected I'm going to be asking distinguished Americans of both parties — people like Colin Powell, for example, and others — who can represent our country well," Hillary said.

A spokeswoman for Powell told the New York Times that her boss has not been in touch with Hillary, and has no further comment. But this does invite an interesting question: Does Hillary really think Powell is still a credible, distinguished representative of America after his speech at the U.N. laying out all the supposed evidence for Iraqi WMD?

PLEASE RECOMMEND TO GET THIS QUESTION OUT THERE...

1. Maybe Henry Kissinger would be willing to come out of retirement

and give it one more shot.

3. Maybe we could exhume Nixon...

2. I hope the SECSTATE job is reserved

for General Clark, regardless of who is elected President. He is the best man for the job.

Colin Powell would fit in nicely at Defense if has the requisite number of years out of the military behind him. I think he'd do a great job with an honest boss.

4. No.. Powell will ALSO be an ambassador.

per HRC. I posted the original article when it came out last month. I'll try to find it...


on edit:

SPARTANBURG, S.C. — Hillary Clinton said Tuesday that if elected U.S. president she would call on former Secretary of State Colin Powell as part of a bipartisan diplomatic delegation to be sent abroad to restore America's image.

5. More fantasy politics.

Bolstering my suspicion that many DUers don't live in the real world.

6. I think Bill would prefer Condi for SOS and Dana Perino for Press Secretary.

8. Very cute.

7. And Lieberman was Obama's mentor, and Edwards wants a Republican in his cabinet, and Kucinich...

...considers Paul. And in 2004 Kerry had lots of nice things to say about McCain (Biden too). This bi-partisanship chatter (which has been an Obama theme also - remember that "purple nation"?) isn't designed for the folks at DU and places like this (except just maybe in Kucinich's case). It's the "I'll pull America together" card being played to flash patriotic statesmanship to a broader electorate.
