How does the press love the “Clintons=Drama For No-Drama Obama”
storyline? Others have tried to count the ways.  This morning,
Fox News’s Fox & Friends ran a segment headlined “Nemeses
Neutralized?” discussing President-Elect Obama’s likely
selection of Sen. Clinton as secretary of state and how this
would mean (alas) one “former rival” being brought into the
fold. Harmony? Teamwork?  Not so fast. Sometimes, “neutralizing”
one “nemesis” can also mean exacerbating another existing
rivalry. And Fox News’s Steve Doocey found that silver lining!
If Obama names Clinton secretary of state, he will be offering
her the job that Gov. Bill Richardson (that primary-era Clinton
frenemy) “really wanted.”   Liz Cox Barrett is a writer at CJR.
