A Bird in Hand is Better than Stealing from Bush

Yesterday, at an event with a group of black ministers in South Carolina, Sen. Hillary!™ Clinton showed that when it comes to foreign policy, she has the most practical experience in the Democratic presidential field. While her chief rival pledges to sit down at the feet of any dictator, anywhere, anytime, Sen. Clinton knows that the presidency is too important an institution to be seen to kowtow. She!™ knows it’s much better politically to have someone famous do it for you.
Sen. Clinton recognizes the value of the Special Envoy, the High-Level Delegation, and the Presidential Emissary. She demonstrated this by floating a name of such high respect and stature as a potential Good-Will Ambassador to the World, her rivals for the nomination must surely be staring in awestruck amazement. Who cares if she hasn’t actually spoken to him? It’s the thought that counts, and the political savviness behind it.
”I won’t even wait until I’m inaugurated, but as soon as I’m elected I’m going to be asking distinguished Americans of both parties — people like Colin Powell, for example, and others — who can represent our country well, including someone I know very well. Because I want to send a message heard across the world. The era of cowboy diplomacy is over”
President Bush used to float Colin Powell’s name a lot on the campaign trail back in 2000. But there was just one difference. Many of those times, candidate Bush did so with Powell standing right beside him. According to his spokesperson, Peggy Cifrino, Hillary!™ hasn’t even spoken to the general cum diplomat about his willingness to do her bidding. “He’s not been in touch with Senator Clinton in regards to this, and has no comment,” she said.
Whoops!
Sen. Clinton, if you just want to throw names on the table, you could at least look around and see who is on stage.

Thanks in advance.
The Fuzzy Puppy of the VRWC. I've been usurped!
the war she supported and which she continued to support with her funding votes? Does that make her a "cowgirl"? Is she relying on her experience in cattle futures for these picturesque images?
She may feel that if she utters an idiocy it will detract from Bill's more egregious idiocies. Indeed, two of the savviest, canniest politicians in decades, or so the legend goes.
