I thought the library/museum thing was a “Presidents Only” perk.

This is not a perq. It’s a grassroots movement for her to have a library/museum for her place in history and to display her many awards and gifts. She really does need one for how often she is honored, because of its history, her ties to feminism, and because she represented NY, Seneca Falls is the perfect place. Anybody can have a museum/library, not just presidents.

Oh, I see. I was afraid I had missed something.
I think Hillary would say she’s not ready yet to be in a museum 🙂

No she’s NOT old enough to be in a museum. 😀 But she sure has plenty of awards and needs a place to keep them and display them.

I don’t know about that? 😉
I think that orange suit should be donated to the Smithsonian before she decides to wear it again.

I like the orange suit, it’s very festive. Halloween is coming up. And that face she’s making is hilarious. Who takes these pictures of her and when do they take them?

I love that face! I really want to know what about foreign policy gets her to make faces like that. Also, while I’m not a fan of the suit (it’s a bad day, in my book, when your backside might end up resembling a pumpkin) I think this picture is amusing without being overly mean.

Well, she’s a very cute pumpkin, if she is one. 😀

Most of the pictures come from the press pool, and I guess it’s the luck of the click! I watched her speech tonight receiving the George McGovern Leadership award, and she had one of those spontaneous “recognition” moments. I’m sure it yielded a cute shot.

Some readers here who are in Hillary’s age group might find that more hurtful than playful.
I will always love the orange suit.

There’s nothing to be hurt about. The William J. Clinton Presidential Center and Park (which contains a museum) was dedicated in 2004, when its namesake was 58 and his spouse 57. Also, I mention the Smithsonian. Madame Secretary 1993 inaugural gown was donated in 1995. She was 49 when she first made her way into a museum as a national figure 15 years ago.
Taking that into account, she’s more than ready for a center/museum of her own.

Sorry, I forgot the picture.

OH! Certainly she is more than ready to HAVE a museum – I was the one who started the idea, but plural’s comment about being IN a museum was a whole different thing.
