Madam Secretary, Part 3

With the enthusiasm of innocents being released from the dungeon after eight long years, the State Department cheered heartily the arrival of their new leader...


Like Mr. Bush's departure from D.C. on Tuesday, when a crowd of millions in the streets of the Capitol sang, "na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye" as the former president's helicopter flew overhead, Hillary Clinton's reception as she arrived on her first day at State reflected a tremendous relief that the incompetence of the last eight years is finally over.

Not even the governments of Richard Nixon and Jimmy Carter were as reviled as Bush/Cheney's.
