A breaking FoxNews update:
Congress whittled down the Secretary of State's salary so Hillary Clinton can take the mantle. They have to do it, if Hillz is going to take the job, because the constitution restricts those trying to climb the money tree on the public's dollar.
We wrote about this earlier, saying those on both ends of the spectrum were a bit off. Some sniffed at the mere thought that Congress might have to dirty itself by abiding by the law. The other side screamed a violation of the constitution, declaring Hillary would be in Obama's cabinet when cats and dogs lived together.
As usual, views on the edges are caricatures of reality. The salary was dropped with little to no fanfare, and Hillary will become the nation's newest secretary of state.
It's kind of funny how the news works, isn't it? When the subject is first broached, it's spread across the front pages. When Congress actually does it, it's a little brief halfway down the page on Fox's Web site.
