As part of P.BAM’s inaugural festivities, the Senate confirmed a bunch of the new President’s cabinet members. One of them was supposed to be Secretary of State Hillary Clinton…supposed to be. Her confirmation was held up by Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX). No, he wasn’t in cahoots with Gov. David Patterson to delay him having to [...]

Great Moments in Hillary History
Posted: January 13, 2009 by John Brodigan in Politics, Politics, PoliticsTags: 2008, hillary clinton
As Hillary Clinton appears before the senate as P.E. BAM’s Secretary of State designate, and as any drama unfolds or hilarity (no pun intended) ensues, let us not forget what was for many of us the highlight of the 2008 erection season…

We had Sarah Palin and Barack Obama. We had John McCain and Joe Biden. There was Mitt Romney and Hillary Clinton, Rick Warren and Jeremiah Wright. There were bailouts, bank bailouts, auto bailouts, bloggers who live in their parent’s bailouts and more. There was even a hoax or two. 2008 was a wacky year, and [...]
Geraldine Ferraro Hates Fairy Tales

With Hillary Clinton being appointed to the BAM Administration, that leaves an empty seat to be appointed by New York Governor David Patterson (you know, when he’s not raising our taxes on beer and iTunes). And you may not have heard, but the leading contestant is Caroline Kennedy. Everyone loves the “fairy tale” aspect of [...]

While Caroline Kennedy and Andrew Cuomo are the top two name’s being thrown around to replace Hillary Clinton in the Senate (and that other open Senate seat taking up most of the media), there’s another name mentioned to day to run against them (or whoever) in 2010…Congressman Pete King. “I definitely want to run,” he [...]
Foreign Policy I can believe in

Yesterday P.E. BAM unveiled the starting line up for your 2009 Foreign Policy team, and I’m sure by now you’re all wondering what I think. I’m not crazy aboot Susan Rice, though that has little to do with her background as much as it has to do with her annoying the hell out of me [...]

With Hillary Clinton poised to take control of the State Department (to the chagrin of nutroots far and wide), there’s talk aboot who will fill her senate seat for the next two years. I’ll be honest, the top named surprised me. As per The Fix: 3-1: Thomas Suozzi. Suozzi is known nationally (to the extent [...]
Hillary: Will She or Won’t She?

The blogosphere and editorial pages have been lousy with folks pondering Hillary Clinton, the state department, will she, won’t she, should he, and so on, and so forth. And I’m sure by now y’all are wondering what I think (otherwise, why in the blue hell are you here?), so here goes. For the past eight [...]

Secretary of State…HILLARY CLINTON?!?
Posted: November 13, 2008 by John Brodigan in Politics, Politics, PoliticsTags: hillary clinton, obama
I don’t know how seriously to take this rumour, but I still have some time before “Supernatural” comes on, so what the hell? I surprisingly have no problem with this. I mean, I’m also of the “elections have consequences” mentality and feel the President, even if I didn’t vote for him, gets to fill his [...]
