Yay Hill. PS CIA was called in by State (who does NOT do intelligence BTW) and personally interviewed the terrorists father. Any failure is not State’s ‘fault’. It is an intelligence failure.
Sarah came in as Most Admired Woman too (second)!! two of my fave ladies 🙂 Back to the good news for HRC:
Politico has it, this is the fourth poll in two months that consistently shows Hill’s approval high and rising, she has shed the ‘polarizing’ label Team Obama and the lamestream media attached to her in 07-08. She has done this by working working working. Like she did in the Senate, she is doing it as SoS. I wish to Gawd she were POTUS.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is the most admired woman in America, barely edging out former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, according to a Gallup poll out Wednesday.
When Gallup asked 1,025 adults nationwide to name the woman they admire most, 16 percent picked Clinton.
…Clinton has been named most admired woman 14 times by the poll, going back to her time as first lady. Only former First Lady Laura Bush in 2001 and Mother Teresa in 1995 and 1996 have been able to knock Clinton from her perch, though Palin came close….
Chelsea engaged! Congratulations Marc and Best Wishes Chelsea!!!
Chelsea and Marc
I met Chelsea briefly last January (I shook her hand and babbled effusive praise at her) and she is a lovely young woman. May the happy couple have a long and happy life together!
…A Clinton spokesman confirms that the only child of former president Bill Clinton and current secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, is engaged.
Matt McKenna tells ABC News that Clinton, 29, is set to marry longtime boyfriend Marc Mezvinsky.
The duo is believed to have gotten engaged in New York over Thanksgiving, McKenna says. They sent out this announcement via e-mail on Nov. 27:
“We’re sorry for the mass e-mail but we wanted to wish everyone a belated Happy Thanksgiving! We also wanted to share that we are engaged! We didn’t get married this past summer despite the stories to the contrary, but we are looking toward next summer and hope you all will be there to celebrate with us. Happy Holidays! Chelsea & Marc.”
Mezvinsky is the son of former Rep. Ed Mezvinsky (D-Iowa) and former Rep. Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky, (D-Pa.) He and Clinton met in Washington, and their relationship blossomed at Stanford University….
(YES! Marc IS the son of the Marjorie who lost her seat in ’94 after the tough carbon vote! She lost her seat but gained a daughter in law 🙂 )
Americans support more troops in Afghanistan 47/43
Update: 6:57 pm EST Special Report just noted an AP report indicating two military (?) sources saying TOTUS has made a decision and is planning to send 20k troops. All panelists agreed it was a political decision and will be seen as such and Stephen Hayes noted it endangers the entire war effort.
