> BREAKING!!!! HILLARY CLINTON STEPPING DOWN AS SECT OF STATE!!

US ?troubleshooter? Bill Richardson, who just returned from a trip to North Korea, is likely to be tapped to succeed Hillary Clinton to become the next U.S. Secretary of State, Yonhap News Agency said Saturday citing a report.

?Numerous sources are pointing toward New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson as possibly replacing Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State in 2011,? Exminer.com said.

The possibility is opening up, with some circumstantial signs backing up the view.

For example, the current U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton?s husband, Bill Clinton, is suffering from heart conditions and she is said to want to spend more time with her family, it said.

If Hillary Clinton steps down, Richardson is likely to be one of the strongest candidates for the position. The New Mexico Governor has a background in diplomacy. He previously served as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations as well as energy secretary under President Clinton.

Richardson also acted as a troubleshooter a few times before when American civilians became hostages in North Korea, by visiting North Korea and rescuing them.

Didn't Richardson already get chased out of a cabinet nomination because of skeletons in his closet?

Yes, but it was finally deemed as nothing...

OH SNAP! 

She's going to run against him!

Oh, this ought to be good! 

Actually, its bad - she'll beat him, and she'll be harder to beat in the general.  Either way, at least we'll be done with him.

Faux Newz said she "may" step down.

She is smart enough to jump ship when it starts to sink

Fox simply stated they're getting reports she might step down.  The jackass at the Conservative Examiner claims they "confirmed she may."  Small point, but the stupidity should fall on the right shoulders.

Everyone in Santa Fe seems to already know, Richardson has bought a house in Washington

Another lib failure. Rats leaving the sinking ship.
