Palin: "Well, you know Hillary, I'm so happy to be here tonight, at 10am for this coffee. For all the joe sixpacks and also weekend salmon fishers who would love to have a lunch with you and also small government energy independence. You know, it's all about independence and that's really what I'm talking about when I talk about coffee tonight, and the bureaucracy inside the beltway is also needing to be addressed, because it's in your livingroom on Main Street, too."
Hillary: "Crap, this is going to be the longest 30 minutes of my life."
Palin: "Yes, Hillary, carp are really important to the outdoor fisherman..." #hillaryclinton
@pinkcrickets: I swear to dog that I read that as "weekend salmon fisters." I know there are some fetishes out there I'm unaware of, but...ohhhh. Okay. #hillaryclinton
OMG, this would be cruel, like a dog with a chew toy or a cat with a crippled, mentally retarded mouse. I AM FOR THIS. How much are the tickets and are they taking bets? #hillaryclinton
@SBJ: You stole that from my brain. Absolutely. Here we have a tiny little lying pea brain and here we have a smart smart smart accomplished woman. Discuss. Bwa ha ha ha ha.
Hillary has learned some of Obama's jujitsu -- sure, lets have that cup of coffee. #hillaryclinton
Maybe Hillary should take Palin with when she goes to Singapore! Then, Hillary can give her a pack of gum right when they get off the plane and tell Palin that local culture requires you chew lots of gum and then just drop the wad on the street.
We will never see that bitch again. #hillaryclinton
@TheUptightMidwesterner: You made me laugh out loud! My college roommate lived in Singapore for several years, so I heard all about the strict rules re: gum chewing. She would bring mega-packs of it with her when she went home for her younger siblings. #hillaryclinton
I think David Gregory is dreaming that a meeting between Hillz and Palin would involve them both in their jimjams, eating Ben and Jerry's, and singing old Mo-town songs into their hairbrushes.
And maybe prank calling Kim Jong Il. #hillaryclinton
@Rooo sez BISH PLZ: I had the same thought! When she was elaborating I was hoping she'd say "yes, I'd love to sit down for a round of tequila shots." #hillaryclinton
Having coffee with Sarah Palin would be like going to see a really bad movie "ironically," and then 10 minutes in you realise there really is nothing funny about it, but you've already paid good money so you're stuck. #hillaryclinton
I just feel like Palin would be all bitchy and condescending about 'librals' and Hillary would be forced to back hand her once. Which, would be amazing to see. If that was like a pay per view special, I'd sell a kidney to see it. #hillaryclinton
@Raised-byHeathens: OMG! I would love to see Hillary's face just listening to Palin speak in person. It would be like Einstein listening to Dane Cook pontificate on relativity. Awesome #hillaryclinton
@philtastic: It would take a superhuman amount of strength for me to keep a straight face talking to her, but I think Hillary would be up for the job. Or maybe she wouldn't even try - she could smack Palin down with one raised eyebrow! #hillaryclinton
What a classy lady - I love Hillary Clinton more and more every day. I was an Obama fan during the election, and I'm thrilled they're both in Washington!*

@shadesofmediocrity: It is great, and I think she's doing a killer job as SOS. Obama basically won the Peace prize thanks to our perception by Europe, which I think Hillary has a major hand in (Obama courted Europe before and after his campaign, but she's the one out there building up the relationships again and making the case for the US's peaceful involvement abroad.) #hillaryclinton
@wynniepiglet: I think a good president is at least 75 percent picking a good team. Hillary definitely makes the list of good additions - I think she's doing a great job reaching out to countries we don't reach out to normally. And she does so much for women's rights! Love it! #hillaryclinton
Clinton was my first choice for Pres, I have long been an admirer, but I think she seems remarkably well-suited as Secretary of State. She is so tactful, gracious and sharp.
Also, I would 'absolutely' love to see the undercover footage of that Clinton/Palin coffee meet-up. #hillaryclinton
@JBae (née JSouth): My first choice as well. I still would have liked to see her in office, but thank god we don't have any of those wacky conservatives at the helm...
She is quite well-suited for SOS, however, you're right. #hillaryclinton
@Penny: She is great as SOS because she is truly smart, capable and has a lifetime of political connections and relationships. She would have made a great prez, but I think it worked out for the best, because she seems to have accomplished 10x what Obama has just by working for him. If she were president, she would be stuck managing her image more than half the time.
p.s. How sweet would it be if she could just mentor Sarah Palin out of the Dark Ages? She is a great diplomat! #hillaryclinton
"Yeah, I'm sure I'll catch some commentary when I have a second over here in CHINA, where I am actually doing real work for the country in my capacity as SECRETARY OF STATE."
I *love* the subtle put-down. "I'm sure I'll see something while I'm in Beijing, and Shanghai, and Singapore..." subtext: "you know, because I'm the goddamn Secretary of State of the US and I have actual work to do, and you're just a failed governor with PR problems." #hillaryclinton
