And on a lighter note: Hillary finds her inner Joe Biden
Posted by civil truth on June 11th, 2009
Hillary Clinton made a guest appearance on This Week this past Sunday. (H/T James Taranto)
Her interview with host George Stephanopoulos gave rise to this amusing exchange:
STEPHANOPOULOS: A year ago, you bowed out of the presidential campaign, very graceful speech…. You know, it was a bitter campaign. And I’m just wondering: How did President Obama convince you to come on his team?
CLINTON: …he was quite persistent and very persuasive. And, you know, ultimately, it came down to my feeling that, number one, when your president asks you to do something for your country, you really need a good reason not to do it.
Number two, if I had won and I had asked him to please help me serve our country, I would have hoped he would say yes.
And, finally, I looked around our world and I thought, you know, we are in just so many deep holes that everybody had better grab a shovel and start digging out.

If you say so, Madame Secretary. But may I commend to you the First Law of Holes:
When you’re in one, stop digging!
