The Lion and Gun

This is all still scuttlebutt, and maybe it's just a slow news day, but the noises out of Washington about Clinton's trip to Foggy Bottom are growing louder and louder. Somebody's piloting a leaky canoe, and I suspect it's on Clinton's side. A little while ago Politico reported that a close Clinton associate suspects she'd be open to State (another has since said otherwise). Now Huffington Post is reporting that Clinton was actually offered the position in her meeting with Obama yesterday and is taking some time to consider it. I remain skeptical of the wisdom of selecting Clinton as Secretary of State, but will withhold judgment till we see what actually happens.
