I was about to sit down and write a serious post about a serious issue for eTalkinghead but I was sidetracked. A coworker is going to be attending the Office Depot Success Strategies for Businesswomen conference. Held each year at a luxury hotel & resort in Boca Raton. This year's speakers include Today Show Co-anchor Katie Couric; Dawn Hudson, President, Pepsi-Cola North America; Mary Matalin, former Assistant to President Bush and Counselor to Vice President Cheney; and the junior Senator from New York Hillary Clinton. I was asked in passing if there was anything I wanted her say to Hillary for me.

I didn't know where to begin.

Hillary, you are the Courtney Love of the United States Senate. You've gotten where you are by trading on the fame and infamy of your husband. Your re-packaged socialism and authoritarianism are as offensive as the shrill tone of your shrieking rants on the floor of the Senate. The American people do not need you and your fellow travelers in the congress running our lives.

And exactly what advice do you have to offer women in business? How to capitalize on your husband's success and his infidelity to achieve your personal goals? Where not to hide your billing records?

On second thought, I don't want to get my friend in trouble with the Secret Service so just tell her "Rudy in '06."
