Both Clintons are expected to attend the service for late Representative Donald Payne, a friend of ours here at this blog whom we will miss immensely.

Vice President Joe Biden will be among the luminaries attending the funeral service for New Jersey congressman Donald Payne, who died this week after a brief battle with cancer, a law-enforcement source tells NBC New York.
Payne died early Tuesday of colon cancer. He was 77.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her husband, former president Bill Clinton, are also both expected to be in attendance for the service Wednesday at Metropolitan Baptist Church in Newark.
I wonder if Rep. Payne read our comments here? I hope all our girl talk posts about jackets, headbands, and jewelry put a smile on his face.

He might have. He would spend some time – not just a quick check.

“Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her husband…” Haha. The former president mentioned in a speech some time ago that he was now refered to as either Chelsea’s father or Hillary’s husband.

Payback’s a beast. She spent a couple decades as just a “spouse of”. It’s his turn.
