At 78, Larry Eagleburger hasn't lost his fastball. Since leaving government, he might actually have added some MPH. Appearing on MSNBC this afternoon, the former Secretary of State in George H.W.'s administration warmed up with some rough words for Barack Obama and Christopher Hitchens . . . then absolutely rubbished Bill Richardson.
Andrea Mitchell had invited Eagleburger on to assess the list of potential Secretary of State nominees. While he wasn't wildly enthusiatic about Hillary, she was his pick among those under serious consideration. When Mitchell suggested that Bill Clinton's foreign policy experience might prove useful, Eagleburger unloaded on Obama's lack of experience.

Eagleburger rubbishes Richardson ping to Today show list.
Obama, Hitchens and Richardson are all whores. Sir Larry is a pimp, especially with that cane of his.
I would like to hear his honest assessment of Andrea Mitchell as a journalist!

Uh-huh. What about Hussein (whom Hitchen's voted for)?
Mmmm! Eagleburger!!
I think it’s really funny to hear Chris Matthews so worried about all the Republicans being pleased with Hilliary as a possible SOS. He’s like “what’s up with this?” I also can’t believe the Dems have not actively demonstrated against Hilliary since she did support the War in Iraq...how could her initial support and vote qualify her as a SOS?
The Clinton’s will run circles around Obama and i’m going to find it delicious!
You might not find it so delicious when the Clintonistas begin reminding us all of how murderous they are. At that pont Obama’s stupidity is going to lead him to initiate the persecution of the Republicans and Christians.
Hey now: heavy duty cigarette smoker (I’ve lit a few with him!) and Old Codger. Supported Obambi, but there’s still a lot of good to the old guy.
I’m praying that the Clintons and the Obama cults will be too busy hurting each other.
The Clintons are still in charge and don’t think they’re not. That’s why O is giving the finger to all who voted for him.
If this was the republicans the outcry would be so loud the president would back down. Harriet Myers, anyone?
You know, in the multi-verse of all possible outcomes for the near-term American socio-political scene, that might be about the best we can hope for.
I'd certainly be happy with it.

Yeah, just like his old hero, Leon Trotsky!
Gonna be interesting because about two thirds of the Obama cabinet is made up of Klintonoids.
Oops! I now see you were referring to Larry E.
(I thought you were talking about that old & overweight Trotskyite lush, Hitchens. I believe he’s also a heavy smoker.)
Everything’s Okie Dokie: he really is one of us, just misguided by Obambi.
Heavy drinker, too: that might explain things.
What more could you want?
He's like John Bolton, kind of, without that 'bitchin cool mustache.
Democrat flunky or not, I'd sleep better at night knowing that Holbrooke was in the job, taking names, plotting revenge, etc. than I would with any of these other weenies.

Yes, and definitely better to have a “strongman” as SecState — as opposed to somebody who might easily be pushed around by a dhim-wit like VP Biden!
