Of course we all knew this already, but since the State Department sent out the press release, I thought I would remind everyone.
Mme. Secretary, we all apreciate how willing you always are to work on a holiday. Have a safe trip. God bless you, and Happy New Year!

Maybe she’ll get her samba on?

OMG. Yes, please.
Perhaps we’ll have a Presidente or two, or some tequila shots for the Taste Buds of State? After work is over for the day, of course.

I think the drinking would be a prerequisite for the dancing.

I hope we´d have lots of Hillary pics about this event!
Our Private Investigator Still4hill will get as much as she can for us! Thank you Still for all your love for our MOST ADMIRED WOMAN! We´re not alone, she´s all loved for many as we do! WONDERFUL!

I’m sure someone will dance with her.

It should be nice and warm in Brazil this time of year. I wonder what our Madame Secretary will be wearing?

Watch her wear that orange suit. She just can’t seem to leave it at home.

This whole thread has me LOL!!! I was busy putting the end-of-the-year post together and had no idea the party had started over here! 😀
Yes, I would LOVE to see her samba! President Correa might be there (if it’s safe for him to leave the country), I’m sure he would like to partner her!
LikeLike
I guess he’ll have to do, but only because I don’t think Shah Qureshi will be there and he probably can’t samba either. So I guess President Correa is her best bet for a good dance partner. Even if he attended, she’d never samba publicly with her husband. He’s also not that great a dancer. Need proof?

LOL!!! 😀 Love that picture!

Yes, and we will even watch them dance! (I have not given up on hoping Bill also attends the inauguration. I think it’s a stroke of genius on the parts of Lilly and me.)

Your hope may spring eternal, but you know that if he were there they’d be on opposite sides of the room and there would be NO dancing. Footage of the Clintons attempting to samba would be all over the place and not in a good way.

But a slow-dance would be okay! I think so!

Slow dancing to a samba?! They might be allowed to slow dance, but if either of them look to be enjoying it too much, we’ll be hearing about it on John Stewart.
LikeLike
He looks to be in mid-song as well. I can’t imagine what that voice sounds like singing, but every time I try the result is amusing.
LikeLike
I have a feeling he sings rock fairly well. Don’t know about jazz – because for that he’s usually playing the sax.
LikeLike
No, slow dancing to Nelson Ned – the old stuff – before he became evangelical. That’s “our” generation. They would know him, and the Brazilians would be overjoyed to play his music so they could get a sexy slow-dance in.

Hahaha! I think my friend’s mom used to listen to him! I think there is an equation here.

Well, maybe for him. For me, it’s adorable! All those foreign officials *want* Bill *gets*. To me, it’s poetry.

Poetry or not, if Historia de un Amor is playing and the Clintons’ lips meet within range of a camera, Jon Stewart’s bustin’ out the Barbie dolls and making suggestive suppositions about how things went from there.

Just so long as he doesn’t do a vocal impersonation of Bill in bed. I’ll never be able to hear him give a speech again, especially if it mentions Hillary.

As he is constitutionally (small “c”) INCAPABLE of speaking publicly without mentioning her name. *I like :D*

LOL!
He’d definitely go down a notch in speech effectiveness with me. I’d be giggling when ever he talked about “how good Hillary is at what she does,” and “how much she enjoys her position.”

“Being president isn’t easy, but I know she’d rise to the challenges of that position and be just as great as she has been at everything else. Stamina would be essential, and she’s got plenty of that. She can keep going longer than anyone else I know. Hey, why’s everybody laughing?”
