“Hilary Clinton’s a monster,” blurted out one of Barak Obama’s top advisers during the run up to the presidential election, in March 2008, after Clinton attacked Obama’s inexperience in foreign policy.
This was the furtherest thing from the minds of the people who gathered at a recent private dinner party at former Secretary of State Madeline Albright’s Washington home. Diplomats from five previous administrations, joined together to honour the current Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton. Henry Kissinger, George Shultz, James Baker, Lawrence Eagleburger, Warren Christopher, Albright, Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice. The only one missing was Alexander Haig.
It is still not clear if 61 year-old Clinton will continue with her scheduled visit to Italy and Greece after undergoing surgery to her elbow which was fractured in several places in a fall, as she headed for her car, in the basement of the State Department. Clinton was on her way to a meeting at the White House, officials said.
Obama may have been kept waiting on this occasion, but it is doubted that Presidents’s right hand woman will be held back by any damage to her right elbow, as she heads the battle for ‘women in high places’, as was witnessed when Clinton was the guest speaker for the Emily List luncheon. Emily List is a 24 year-old organization dedicated to increasing the power and presence of women in politics. Emily List came into being around the same time Clinton entered the political arena.
Having weathered the Clinton-Lewinsky White House scandal, an impeachment, a failed health reform and 8 years as First Lady, one can only wonder what really goes on in the State Secretary’s head as she walks one step behind Michelle Obama. One thing is for certain, Hilary Rodham Clinton has no intention of going away quietly. Ellen Malcolm introduced Clinton at the Emily List luncheon as “An exceptional figure in American life and a powerful role model for women for our country and for the world.”
