 hillar clinton secretary of state

Hillary Rodham Clinton will join President-elect Barack Obama‘s national security team as Secretary of State.

Democratic officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said Obama will name the New York senator as his Secretary of State at a press conference in Chicago on Monday.

Obama also plans to announce that Defense Secretary Robert Gates will remain in his job for a year or more and that retired Marine General James M. Jones will serve as national security adviser.

Bill Clinton cleared the way for his wife to take the job by agreeing to disclose the names of every contributor to his foundation since its inception in 1997. He’ll also refuse donations from foreign governments to the Clinton Global Initiative, his annual charitable conference, and will cease holding CGI meetings overseas.

Former President Clinton’s business deals and global charitable endeavors were expected to create problems for Hillary’s nomination. But in negotiations with the Obama transition team, the former president agreed to several measures designed to bring transparency to his post-presidential work.

Here is the full text of the internal guidance about the agreement.

Critics have pointed out that the President-elect’s team doesn’t represent the change he promised on the campaign trail, with all of his top choices having served in either the Clinton or Bush administration.

Winona Ryder

When actresses become famous they begin to enjoy the perks that go with stardom.  They include being loaned some of the finest jewels that money can buy.  Actress Winona Ryder was in Madrid, Spain last week to attend the Marie Claire magazine party and borrowed $125,000 worth of Bulgari diamonds that have since vanished.

Ryder claims that she gave the diamond-encrusted bracelet and ring to the front desk at her hotel.  The actress states that she put them in an envelope and asked that they be locked up for safe keeping.  Now the gems have gone missing and the hotel is having a hard time locating the surveillance video.

Bulgari executives have of course turned this matter over to the police for further investigation.  Ryder’s people have yet to comment on the situation.

In 2001 Winona was arrested for shoplifting at Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills and received a fine and community service in a plea deal.
