She's SoS because she had no other job options and SoS is a chance to re-define American foreign policy after the last 8 years. - Will Hunting Sep 9, 13:57 11

  - (ps - im not much of a fan, just making a "how can we make money off dead artists?" joke) -- nm - Guy Sep 9, 14:02 1
    - i'm with ya. i just like opportunities to bag undeservedly on tupac. -- nm - TFox Sep 9, 14:03

- Then he'd be wiping purple splurge out of his mouth for an hour. -- nm - Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Dano Sep 9, 13:55
- if he had like an angry "oh yeah, i'm teabagging you, you fucker", it'd probably be a political boon. - TFox Sep 9, 13:55
- No smile, no Hillary. - BB Sep 9, 13:55
