Machiavelli and Hillary Clinton

"Publius" from London writes:

Back in time when men were men, etc., etc., young Hillary Clinton put together a wonderful healthcare package which was just a bit complicated. Anyway, I recall that in the Senate hearings, a Republican senator really took her plan out to the woodshed. Having a senior moment, I just can't remember his name.

Anyway, as I love Machiavelli, I just wondered whether this self-same Republican senator was likely to get an appointment --- hands across the aisle and all that. If so, maybe he'll be the new National Security Adviser !

I find it hard to believe Hillary will be the new Secretary of State. I had her down for Health but [former Senator Tom] Daschle is the new guy there. Wonder what debt that has paid? I don't quite see what Hillary brings to the party. No doubt I will be enlightened.

What's the matter with Richard Holbooke? I'm surprised he hasn't been tapped for the job. He really wanted it in the Clinton years, from what I hear.
