Well, the nets are abuzz, off course, about Hillary’s new website. Speculation ranges from damn certain she is going to run in 2016 to pretty sure this means she is running. Just about everyone agrees it is a beautiful picture of her, and if the website serves no other purpose than to be bookmarked and clicked on when you need a Hillary-fix, that’s fine, too.
The Gazette announces that Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney will host a special dinner at her home to honor Hillary’s public service.
Congressmember Carolyn Maloney has announced that she will be holding a dinner at her home in honor of former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton who ended her term on February 1. The event was announced at the United Community Civic Association’s (UCCA) Legislative/Executive Breakfast. The dinner will be offered to the first 100 persons who RSVP to Congressmember Carolyn Maloney’s office.
Maloney stated that the event is to be held in honor of the accomplishments of the former first lady and U.S. Senator of New York. She stressed that a thank you is in order for Clinton who has served the people of the United States and New York with distinction and honor.
A little bird told me that the Clinton motorcade was spotted early this morning headed toward the Saw Mill River Parkway. Speculation was that the Clintons were headed to DC for John Kerry’s swearing-in. Sure enough, Hillary is there. The moment John Kerry finished his speech a few seconds ago, he bounded across the Benjamin Franklin Room to greet Hillary – very tiny and blonde, lost in the crowd, but I did catch a glimpse of her bright smile.
Huh? Kerry was sworn in on Friday afternoon by Elena Kagan, if I’m spelling her name right. 4:00 p.m. Pic was on the TV. Otherwise, cool dinner story. Wishing I lived in NY just for that.
That was the private swearing in. Today was the ceremonial swearing in by Joe Biden with all his friends, family, former colleagues, and the former secretaries in attendance. I did mention that I watched it from 4 to 4:45 today.
This was this afternoon.
I meant 4:00 p.m. Friday. The word Friday seemed to be left out of my post?? That was the formal swearing-in.

This was 4:00 today. The ceremonial swearing in that the Clintons attended and I watched. You are referring to the private on on Friday afternoon. This was today.
If HIllary was there, why didn’t they mention her when the guests were acknowledged?
She was there. I saw her. John Kerry ran to her as soon as he finished speaking.
I’m just wondering why they didn’t mention her. Don’t you think that’s strange?
yes, it is strange that they did not formally acknowledge her actual presence.. but they did mention her work as outgoing SoS.
Kerry’s speech is on the State Dept. website.
He did mention her, twice. Here’s the second time, after he thanked her for a “seamless transition” –
I want to thank Secretary Clinton for the unbelievably high standard of energy, commitment, and vision that she set in her terrific stewardship of the State Department. I am proud not only as her successor but as a citizen to have been represented by her, as I think all of you are, and the way that she traveled the world and carried America’s banner. We thank her for a job superbly done. (Applause.)
