Are You Now Or Have You Ever Been...

Big Lizards takes a look at the questionnaire that’s been put together by Obama’s team in order to vet applicants for jobs in the new administration, along with Hillary Clinton’s likely answers (assuming she takes the job as Secretary of State). My favorite question and answer involves #62:

62. Do you know anyone or any organization, either in the private sector or government service, that might take steps, overtly or covertly, fairly or unfairly, to criticize your nomination, including any news organization? If so, please identify and explain the potential basis for criticism.
Yes, the United States.

Update: What, another Clintonista in the Obama administration? Is this some incredibly devious scheme by the Clintons to recover their power? Here's a tip for you Barry: better make "food taster" a cabinet-level position.

    Lord, that's hilarious! Daffyd's answers, I mean. The questionnaire, now, that's pathetic. Providing a copy of every single speech!??!?!!?!?

    Or is that paranoid?

  2. RJ: Those answers are sure closer to the truth than the Obama team is likely to get for real.

  3. Paranoid is how I would describe it too. Welcome to the defence against gotcha politics.

  4. Actually, I think Billary as SoS would provide adequate entertainment in the bleak years ahead.

  5. Paco, I expect that Hillary would answer those questions only after they were vetted by a team of lawyers, and the answer bounced off a test audience of hardcore PUMAs. And even then, the truth would be slippery indeed......

    Rebecca, true enough! Lord knows we will need comedy relief a plenty.

  6. Change You Can Believe In is now morphing to Can You Believe They've Changed In Eight Years?
    Having rejected another term of George W the combined efforts of the political classes has brought about another term of Slick William.

  7. blogstrop: To tell you the truth, I've been wondering whether Obama was going to be another Carter, or maybe a McGovern; now I see that he's going to be another Clinton!
