Far Right Cheers Hillary at State

The far right is warming to the idea of Hillary Clinton as secretary of state, with neocons, righty writers, and a manager of Bill’s impeachment trial all getting excited about her perceived “willingness to veer right on international policy,” writes Ana Marie Cox at the Daily Beast. Said one consultant: “We all know that, secretly, she’s a hawk.”

Conservative editor Bill Kristol is “looking forward to working with her!” and Sen. Lindsey Graham, a close adviser to John McCain, noted that “there's no country in the world she can't go to. I mean, she's Hillary!” Meanwhile, Clinton advisers remarking on her conservative appeal commented that “political pragmatism is where this starts and ends.”
