Once in a great while, Al Sharpton says something intelligent. This is an interesting suggestion that he made.
Once in a great while, Al Sharpton says something intelligent. A friend of mine just told me that he thinks if Obama appoints Hillary Clinton to the secratarship of state, then David Patterson, Governor of New York, should appoint her Husband, the former president, to her seat. Granted, there hasn't been a former president in the Senate since Andrew Johnson in the 1870s, but this might give him something useful to do outside his so-called charity work, and might make him put his money where his mouth is, so to speak.
The Senate has rules about this, and he will automatically be made "Deputy President pro tempore" and get a big office and such. so the seniority thing isn't a bother.
If being a mere senator isn't good enough for ol' Slick Willie, then Patterson can appoint his predecessor as governor, Eliot Spitzer to the post. Remember, he was good at his day job, and it's better to keep him working for the public good than sitting around his Daddy's office moping around for the next dozen years.
Don't forget what they did, but forgive and put them to work. When their minds aren't fogged up by their nuts, they are both brilliant people.
Of course, Hillary might want to stay where she is, that would solve lots of stuff...
