It's getting funny now.

I can see why so many people would love to see Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State but wait a minute.

Hillary has a great skill set for mediation, negotiation and has a great strength of personality, I agree completely with this but, there are some potential risks to such a position that need to be addressed.

The middle east is one of the most pressing issues facing any prospective SOS and with Condi being a total blowout and the USA's nearly nonexistent foreign policy credibility there are going to be some serious tests for whoever gets the post.

Sadly, Hillary doesn't have the one thing that may make or break the way the positioning of US interests is seen and or agreed to.

What is it you ask?

Simple, a penis.

Hillary Rodham Clinton has more balls than most men I know but, some sheik in Saudi Arabia, some cheiftain in Afghanistan or some cleric in Iraq will only see a "lowly female" and in that way they are biased in ways that cannot be overcome as simply as it may seem.

These people are culturally retarded. They still cannot see all people as equals as simply proven by the animosity they show each other over matters so truly trivial as to be comedic if they weren't so brutally tragic. I know, people will say that they are only living the way they always have or that their cultrual integrity deoends on the retention of their culture. Screw their culture if it means treating human beings as chattel. Just as an aside, I am not speaking in terms of "all of them" but I a refering to the bias held by more primitive leaders who still follow theological teaching that give men a place of ownwership and superiority as I am a staunch believer in equal rights for all and am fiercely anti-bigotry.

John Kerry, a prior presidential candidate, decorated veteran, experienced diplomat and finally, male.

As ridiculous as it may sound, I truly believe that in order to accomplish peace in our time we are going to have to play to omse of the cavemen and let them negotiate with a person who is of the gender they will listen and speak too.

Makes me also wonder, with all the seriousness of the discussion about this that Barak may be paying back that endorsement and campaigning deal with the dropping of the roll call at the convention.

What do you think?
