Clinton Says Husband Would Be Ambassador
By MIKE GLOVER 04.22.07, 4:33 AM ET


Hillary Rodham Clinton said Saturday that if she is elected president, she would make her husband a roaming ambassador to the world, using his skills to repair the nation's tattered image abroad.

"I can't think of a better cheerleader for America than Bill Clinton, can you?" the Democratic senator from New York asked a crowd jammed into a junior high school gymnasium. "He has said he would do anything I asked him to do. I would put him to work."

Clinton spoke at a town hall-style meeting Saturday where she took questions from about 200 people. When asked what role the former president would play in her administration, she left no doubt it would be an important one.

"I'm very lucky that my husband has been so experienced in all of these areas," said Clinton, who pointed to the diplomatic assignments her husband has carried out since leaving office, such as raising money for tsunami victims.

1. Can't think of a better job for Bill

He is a wonderful negotiator and he makes people like him.
It would take someone like him to start the healing process from all the damage President Shit for Brains has done to our foreign relations.

2. Hillary is pandering

"Roaming Amassador To The World" sounds like Bill would be back-up president. Great! I love the idea. But to me, it sounds like desperation, because she knows EVERYONE loves Bill, but Hill? Not so much.

3. The "Roman" and "Russian" jokes are almost IMPOSSIBLE to resist.

Must. resist. must. re. sist.

8. Doesn't that put him in 4th place in prez. succession? nt

9. It would simply skip him - just like it would have with Kissinger, for example.

10. Interesting! It's like he's not a citizen any more. But, I wonder...

the Amendment says no one can be "elected" to the presidency twice.

Can they end up there w/o being elected? I assume he would be ineligible to be nominated as a replacement vice president, because they have the same qualifications as the Prez.

This is an interesting question.

5. He could do that for President Obama or President Edwards as well

Still, not a reason to vote for her.

6. If elected it would be business as usual!

7. I thought

the whole article was pretty surreal. The comments were satirical except they weren't.

The society of the spectacle plods on.
