HILLARY CLINTON AS SECRETARY OF STATE A GOOD IDEA?

POSTED RESPONSE TO A COLUMN BY CLIVE CROOK IN THE FINANCIAL TIMES

Thomas Friedman’s disapproval is enough to make me think it a great idea.

Friedman always makes me (using his own words) slouch in my chair because he’s not a genuine journalist, just a mouthpiece for big-money special interests.

Friedman is a full-time aluminum-siding salesman for the Pentagon, doing odd after-hours jobs for Israel.

He has no idea of the best long-term interests of the United States or of the world.
