So it seems, my friends, that we have arrived at the final installment of the weeklong dramedy that has been When No Drama Meets Whoa, Drama: the Nomination of Hillary Clinton. The Times is reporting that Clinton has indeed accepted the president-elect’s much-written about/much-leaked-about offer to become the nation’s top diplomat.
Prepare, in the week ahead, for much more bipartisan hand-wringing about the power of “the Clintons,” perhaps some pointed commentary on the choice from Samantha Power, and several extraneous references to Lincoln’s Obama’s Team of Rivals.
Has America ever needed a media defender more than now? Help us by joining CJR today.
