From a great Op-Ed piece by Gail Collins:
1. She would not let the vice president run our foreign policy. Joe Biden is no Dick Cheney, but we just do not want to go there again. We have scars.
2. Obama could live out his fantasy of following the Abraham Lincoln model and filling his cabinet with a team of rivals without having to make Sarah Palin secretary of commerce.
3. Clinton already has a supply of pantsuits sufficient to get her through six months of peace negotiations in the Middle East without coming home for a change of clothes.
4. She might do a terrific job.
Is this supposed to be a joke? I was eager to hear why Clinton might be a good fit at the State, but there just doesn’t seem to be any actual argument in the entire op/ed….
Yes, it is a joke. There’s a more serious discussion a couple of posts down at:

Do look at Jender’s comment on the post too.
