Sally Quinn: Hillary Clinton should be Obama's vice president
The Washington Post ^ | June 18, 2010 | Sally Quinn

Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden should switch jobs.

Really.

It makes sense for the Democrats, actually. Clinton has done an incredible job as secretary of state. First of all, she has worked harder than anyone should ever be expected to. She has managed to do the impossible: She is the ambassador of the United States to the world, maintaining her credibility while playing the bad guy to President Obama's good guy, such as with North Korea, Iran and Israel, and still looking good. She has been a true team player. If Clinton is dissatisfied with her role, you would never know it. She has been loyal and supportive to the president and has maintained a good relationship with him and with others in the White House. If she is being left out of the policymaking, or being sent on trips to keep her out of town, she has not shown it. She is cheerful, thoughtful, serious and diligent. There are no horror stories about her coming out of the State Department. Most notable, though, is that Bill Clinton has not been the problem that so many anticipated. He has been supportive of her and of Obama, and he has stayed out of the limelight and been discreet about his own life.

In short, the arguments against Hillary Clinton being Obama's vice president have pretty much evaporated.

So, what kind of running mate would she be? We've seen the team player. Now consider Hillary the Democratic campaigner. She is tireless and relentless.(continued)

Wipe your mouth, Sally, you missed a spot.

This IS a parody, right? There's not a sensible thought in the paragraph, and I stopped right there. I can almost hear Sally Quinn's hectoring "No, REALLY!" tone.

I initially took this as some kind of parody. These people are nuts.

Why is this woman still writing:
Sally Quinn may have lost her print column in the Washington Post, but she says she has no regrets.

“I have absolutely no regrets at all,” Quinn told Politico’s Michael Calderone.

Quinn used her column last week to address rumors about her family — that she had scheduled her son’s wedding deliberately to coincide with her husband’s granddaughter’s — and lost her newspaper column this week.

“I just felt like if I wrote this, I would take the heat off them,” she said. “And boy, did I ever.”

“People then stopped focusing on [Quinn and his fiancée] and started focusing on me,” she added. “That’s fine. I’ve been there most of my life.”

They’re not coordinating.

After all the recent work the WaPo has put into building Biden back up I thought they meant to take down O and install him in the throne.
