Hillary Clinton Has the Power To Make People Eat Their Clothing

Kevin Drum is dining in after saying about Hillary Clinton's chances of being Secretary of State:

I guess that doesn't mean it's impossible, but I'll eat my hat if it turns out to be true.

Drum is winping out, eating a hat-shaped chocolate cake rather than a real hat.

This is reminiscent of Tucker Carlson's on-air bluster:

Carlson, the conservative half of the political talk show, had repeatedly claimed on air that Clinton's book would never sell that many (1 million) copies, vowing to eat his shoes if it did.

Living History old more than a million copies -- and more than any of Carlson's books, just for the record. Rather than insisting that Carlson pay up, Clinton showed up by surprise one day bearing a shoe-shaped chocolate cake. In doing so, she thoroughly charmed the previously vituperative conservative, a lesson in political jujitsu.

Maybe it's time for the pundit class to stop betting against Hillary.

When The Traveling Road Show came to Iowa last January the pundits had already given HRC the nomination. I think betting on OR against the Clintons is a very risky propostion.

Hilary... a diplomat... it would be funny if it wasn't so damn frightening.

I guess whatever happens in the world she can blame a "vast right wing conspiracy".

Pathetic.
