CNN

Now this would be a have to see prime time event.

"But the secretary of state said Sunday on NBC's Meet the Press she'd "look forward" to talking politics with Palin over coffee sometime soon."

I always knew Hillary had a sense of humor. She's a smart Lady too.

This will be a life time meeting if it ever happens. I am pretty sure it will be civil and an eye opener for Palin. it will definitely be a discussion between a seasoned politician and a new comer. So my advice to Palin is to intently listen and gain experience in worldly / internal politics. It absolutely gracious of the secretary of state to be open to the offer. I can not wait to see it if it happens.

don't worry hillary, palin needs to go to a clown tailor and get the suit that fits her best...i hear barnum & baily's circus is hiring. she is such a wonderful clown! since alaska state employees call her "big sarah" for her gigantically swelled head full of childish egocentrism, she'll probably need an extra large nose. be careful and don't shop at pinnochio's wood shop...she won't do well with a pinnochio nose...unless she is proud of her lies!

again, to all those who choose to bash Palin – what have YOU achieved? She's been a mayor, a governor, and not has a top selling book – what have YOU done?

I love how the liberals on this site constantly over exaggerate the intelligence of Democrats.

I heard when Obama asked Clinton to be on his staff, she jump to conclusions….He never said “State”.

It never works Sarah. In order for someone to acquire knowledge, not only they need to be educated they also need to be intelligent. Mrs. Clinton’s intellect will not rub on you if you sit with her.

I wonder who would pick up the check?

She shouldn't meet with Hillary because Hillary refused to attend any event Palin was at during the campaign. Hillary is a hypocrite and a sellout.

I would think they would have a lot to talk about.

Sarah could explain what a REAL husband is like.
Hillary could explain to Sarah whata marriage for political gain is like

Sarah could explain the Consitution to Hillary (starting with the 2nd ammedment)
Hillary could explain socialism to Sarah

Sarah could explain to Hillary about being a female
Hillary could explain to Sarah about Whitewater, Travelgate, Foster Gate....

Glad to see the Turner station still thinks the election is going on, must be afraid to cover what BHO is actually doing, Right boys and girls......

Just the thought of Hillary Clinton attempting to carry on any kind of meaningful conversation with that dimwit Palin is enough to make me regurgitate my lunch. It would be so hilarious that the Katie Couric interview would seem intellectually stimulating at a minimum!!

It is so edifying to have brains back in the White House, Obama and Clinton, both. We Democrats are truly fortunate to have such talent to call upon in these dire times.

Okay CNN, what's with the ticker being full of almost nothing but Palin? She is now in the status of entertainer; she is not relevant to politics and I, for one, am extremely tired of hearing about her. Are you now becoming FAUX News? Is it all about ratings? Please spare me any more stories on this poor excuse for a woman.

At some point Pallin's got to understand that if she ran for president she has comperehend that reality that you can't win an election simply with the support of a small majority from the minority party. And we all know now that it's hard to win an election without outside party voters especially indpenedents. Unfortunately, for her, independents don't particularly like folks coming to them with a Bible in one hand and a gun in the other....that would be a contradiction to most people even if conservatives don't perceive it as one.

I think Hilary would have coffee with Palin for nothing more than just shear amusement. I bet even Hilary is baffled by how dingy Palin is and how she even has gotten this far in life.

coffee is good enough... we don;t need a dinner. It's a waste of time with Clinton.

Hillary can't even control her husband – how can she control China OR Iran OR Russia etc

My Prediction is Sarah Palin runs out Bawling and Clinton Smiling.

Hilary would do it out of pity.

Palin is no Hillary Clinton.....could not even come close to Hillary!!!

Like a wolf looks forward to a 'lunch date' with a sheep...

Oh please – he we go again another goofy marketing ploy to sell more books.

Bring on the Flash cards again, "wink wink"

A dialogue between Hillary and sassy Sarah would be like the meeting of strong intelligence of a leader vs. pastry flake fluff, diligent hard work vs. ADD media manipulation, deep authenticity vs. good face makeup, sincerity of mission vs. publicity stunter. Guess who is who? Duh – Hillary is the first: strong intelligence, diligent hard work, deep authenticity, sincerity of mission. Sarah would be the latter: flaky fluff, good face makeup, ADD media manipulator, publicity stunter.
Hillary would be gracing Sarah's presence with a wise woman talking to a young kitty. Does anyone think Sarah would actually listen? She is on a roll of media manipulation and money making. That's her main goal in life.

palin should bring pen and paper so she can take notes on how to be a positive female role model to young women. she may learn something.

A debate between Hillary and Sarah would END THIS MADNESS. It's like comparing a Golden Rod to a stick in the mud. LOL

I have heard nothing but Sara Palin stories all weekend on CNN. I am so sick of hearing about her. Hillary would tear her apart if they ever met for coffee. CNN please stop giving this woman press or I am going to switch news.

The Secretary of State certainly has more important things to do than to sit down and talk with an extremist dim-bulb who gets a lot of unwarranted attention.

If Hillary would ever sit down with Sarah Palin for coffee there's probably a host of questions i'd love for Hillary to ask her but first i'd want her to throw a cup of hot coffee in Sarah's face.

PLEASE.....Secretary Clinton was only responding to the NEWS MEDIA question....this reminds me of a bunch of kids trying to start a fight with two people based on their different views.

Sarah Palen isn't on Secretary Clinton RADAR and the conversation wouldn't have any substance based on Sarah's background on AMERICAN government.

Sarah will remain in the bubble of media she can have in her favor, oppose to open media for scruntiny....and can you blame her...she is not ready for that type of "prime time"....

But on the otherhand, Secretary Clinton live for those moments and is a very poised person in any media cycle....

MSNBC scored fair media hits for asking the question and getting a response from Secretary Clinton.

I bet you FOX will not even attempt to score any fair media hits from asking the same question to Sarah.....hmmmm....

I would love to be a fly on the wall for that conversation...

Believe it or not, I have never Voted for A President even though I am 73 years old. If Palin runs for President I Will VOTE for her.

Hillary is a real lady so of course she will meet with Palin. I pray to God that Hillary will run and win the presidency in 2012. Its time for something good to happen to the US. And 2008 was not a lucky year.

I think Secretary Clinton could do much better than how she had handled Israeli -Palestinian peace talks and North Korea. I think this job is over her capability and she forgets what her job is sometimes. But she is not a trained diplomat to begin with so we should not give too much hope for results. Somehow we should control damage. Personally, I think President Obama should replace her with a professional diplomat. Governor Richardson would have been a much better choice for SOS.

Both of these women are wooden headed puppets,but Sarah is a wooderpeckers dream come true.hahaha.

As usual CNN gives only part of the story. Sec Clinton was asked if she would consider sitting down for coffee with Palin as a result of Palin saying she would like to. Let's face it Clinton was just being polite.

A lot like having a beer with Bush... talk with no exchange of information..

Dog and Butterfly

It would be a lot more fun and satisfying to see them kickbox each other to death. Have a nice day!

I would like to see it happen

And if you want someone to go away, stop writing about her every 5 minutes when it's not newsworthy.

Sure, at this point, nobody's running for anything, so why not an intro over coffee? It's just coffee... just don't hype it as a debate over Russian relations...

CNN stop pushing Palin down our throats in your daily news, it seem that you have nothing else to report ,what about our President we want to know more of his trip and how we can better America for us who is struggling, who is without jobs, Our Presdent is trying so hard to make our country economy working again and create jobs for us.In your daily news it's all about Palin the looser who only preaches hate and lies,that is not news, or is it all about ratings, if that so you are becoming another Fox News and your ratings will go down in the basement. CNN you are going to loose a lot of your viewers, if you are following Fox News.

Hillary just likes any woman who has not been involved in a scandal with her husband.

Palin doesn't have the class or grace to be in Hillary's presence. And furthermore, Sarah needs to quit using Hillary's name to advance her own misguided causes and warped beliefs.

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING !!! Who is trying to upstage whom?

I don't think Hillary want to lower her standards to speak the language of a third grader. Sara Palin just doesn't have it.

I imagine having coffee with Sarah Palin would be a lot like having coffee with Elmo the Muppet. It'd be very loud, and you'd have to patiently explain a lot of simple concepts that your companion didn't understand, like "no, we don't EAT the napkins" and "the world is round and it's much more than 6000 years old." Still, it'd be good practice for Hillary... being Secretary of State, she has to deal with lots of strange-accented, theocratic lunatics who are hostile to American progress, so coffee with Palin would be par for the course.

It will certainly be a pleasure in 2012 when these two square off for the Presidency and the moron will be gone. No one in his right mind will try and put the unpatriotic moron back in office. I am so tired of him already embarassing America every where he goes. Then the icing on the cake was when he, two Generals and two Senators stood on stage while the National Anthem was played for the memorial for the fallen troops in Ft. Hood was played. The Generals and the two Senators saluting while Erkel stood with his hate America facial and his two arms hanging limply like a gorilla at his sides. Now he is insulting the Japanease.

Oh, there are so many people who would love to see Sarah try to have an intelligent conversation with Hillary.

I think before Sarah sits down with Hillary, she should warm up with the ladies on The View.

If she survives that, THEN maybe a real politician.

Too bad the Gimme party threw Hillary under the bus for Obama. Obama promised more freebies, spare no expense to the working people.

They are the front-runners for 2012. Obama is 3rd.

Good for Sarah Palin – she's a class act.

mrs. clinto sitting is nothing but degradation...palin is an idiot...thats it..why sitting with her????

Should Hillary give attention to the Rouge Rogue?
What is with CNN?
Most of the focus on these Political Tickers are given to the Alaskan Air Head.
Very curious. Not very professional.

So, let's get this straight:

When talking with HRC, she can respectfully disagree over coffee.

When talking with – or more commonly about – Obama, he's got terrorist sympathies, is intentionally running this country into the ground, is a closet socialist, is setting up death panels, blah blah blah.

Unless I missed something, HRC is still the Sec. of State under the Obama administration and holds many of the same core positions on issues. She also supports universal health care which includes what Palin has called 'death panels.'

Yet, Palin can have coffee with HRC and can only smack talk Obama.

Let's call it what it is: Reverse sexism. As a guy, I'm probably even sexist for using such candor. I may not be able to see Russia from my house, but I can see this double standard from thousands of miles away!

It is spelled "Hillary."

This doesn't sound like a "sit down". More like a stoop down. Hillary, why would you stoop down to this level especially with the level you've achieved. You are a smart and articulate woman. Why give her the time of day?

Will one of the "higher ups" finally stop giving her the spotlight and just tell to shut up and go away?

CNN is made up of a gaggle of rabid squirrels.

The both have one thing in common... The MSM stuck it to BOTH of them. Plenty to talk about there!

Two wonderful women; both deserve immense respect in their own ways.

Secretary Clinton is far above Sarah Palin in every aspect that the only thing that sit down will result in some great laughs for Hillary. I think Secretary Cilton has been working very hard and can use a few good belly-aching laughs, but she would be too much of a lady to let us know how ignorant and humorous she found Palin.

"...I know that we will fundamentally disagree on many issues..."

Just like Bush said "the economy is fundamentally sound"...

GOP: Evolve or die...

I would presume such meeting will be for tutoring purpose. I wonder why Hilary would want to meet proven idiot?Perhaps to tell her stay from my husband as the former Prez has an attraction for women of low intellect such as Palin.

Both were treated unfairly by the media during the last campaign. I hope that they become friends.

Wow! CNN is on a huge roll today, only 5 Palin stories. Only 60% more coverage than you're giving the Prez on historic tour to Asia.

Is she that relevant? If she warrants this MUCH coverage 3 years prior to the next election (which she probably won't even participate in) what's that say about Barry?

'If you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman.'"

If you want a wink, a "you betcha" and "I'll have to get back to you on that one," ask Sarah Palin.

You might actually want to spell Hillary Clinton's first name properly.

Sarah you cant began to hold a candle to Hillary. She is a way smarter person than you are and than you will ever be.

How can Sarah proclaim to support women's rights??!! If she were in office she would send what women have fought for back to the dark ages! She is a man's woman, not a woman's woman.

Two very strong and smart women. If they were in the White House, as President and VP, things might actually be getting done.

Maybe Obama could have them over for beers.

Should such a totally meaningless meeting ever happen, I'm afraid that Hillary would simply just chew Sarah up and spit her into the toilet bowl where she belongs...

And yet,....

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE the gullibility and stupidity of the majority of Americans, who are suckers for a wink and a pretty smile.

Forget the Republican Party. If Palin were the nominee in 2012, it would be catastrophic for the entire planet. Plans to combat global warming would be scrapped, the extinction of many species would be accelerated due to uregulated hunting, research for alternate energy sources would lose funding, illegal abortions would become rampant due to the reversal of Roe vs Wade, race relations would be set back 165 years, biblical fundamentalism would replace the sciences of paleontology, physical anthropology, and zoology, and homosexuality would become a federal offense punishable by stoning.

We would reap what we have sowed.

NO! NO! NO!
Pleeeeze do not give Palin the publicity and credibility-by-association that would come with meeting anyone actually important. She is a virus - treat her like one.

Why bother Mrs. Clinton.
You know she is a total idiot and there is zero upside and
considerable downside in wasting time with her.

'If you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman.'"

Wow, talk about an incindiary comment! While she said its something Clinton's supporters think, and something Thatcher said, obviously, she agrees with it. Its good to know sexism is alive and well.

So Palin wrote:
"But my hat is off to her hard work on the 2008 campaign trail. A lot of her supporters think she proved what Margaret Thatcher proclaimed. 'If you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman.'"

The above statements would make sense of Clinton had won. Maybe Palin should have named her book "Lost in the space between my ears"

Pailin gonna get it. The quitter never learn a lesson.

To All Media- Ignore Palin and hopefully she will fade away. That cannot happen too soon.
We need serious candidates – not that.

Just what exactly did you DO in Alaska, almost-full time-Governor? I don't think you could EVER possibly share equal terms with Hillary Clinton.

If the media would just ignore crazy woman Palin she will go away....

Why? Why give this crackpot credibility? I'm just asking.

Now that's very interesting that Hillary Clinton would look forward to talking politics with Sarah Palin over coffee.

Might work out better for our country if these two women ran together,,,,,one Republican and one Democrat. Of course I would want to see Sarah Palin as the President and Hillary Clinton as the Vice President. No doubt these two woman could certainly do a much better job than the President and Vice President we now have.

Sarah Palin must learn lot from Hillary

wonder how much Clinton would charge for that coffee meeting?

Hillary Clinton is one of the strongest, smartest and most accomplished women in the history of American politics.

Sarah Palin is not strong (quitter) not smart (Katie Couric interview) and has ZERO accomplishments (other than setting women in politics back about 60 years)

So what on Earth could they possibly have to talk about – what that Hillary said would Sarah even be able to understand?

Hillary Clinton is a credible, successful, and reliable politician. She has important buisiness to address, and Palin is NOT important~

Secretary of State Clinton would tear her apart!

Who knows... These two could eventually be running against each other for president in the not-so-far-future.

Go Hillary!

The contrast between the two is remarkable. One is highly intelligent, uses language very effectively and is grounded in principles of government. The other, not so much.

This will be an event I'd love to see and I hope they will discuss at length, the major issues of our time. Taking into consideration the so called gotcha Sarah had on SNL, she has come a long way and have done more travel than she had all her life.

This makes me wonder if Sarah will try to give Hillary pointers on how to be a deplomat and ho she should deal with foreign leaders. A fun show by any other name will be an understatement.

Palin probably never ever heard of Margaret Thacher. This is a quote written by her "ghost' writer.

Why would Hilary Clinton ever give an audience to Sarah Palin? She nothing but a talking head now...That's like Obama meeting with Rush Limbaugh..what a joke she doesn't deserve a meeting with Hilary.

It would be great Hill, if you were the one to sit down with this pretender to the throne and gave her a dose of reality. No one will take off the kid gloves when they encounter this eejit face to face. I don't know if they feel sorry for her, or if they're afraid that due to her obvious inability to speak intelligently on ANY current event subject they're afraid of coming across as a schoolyard bully.

Then Palin must be a guy, because all she does is talk and says nothing, let alone do or finish anything.

You are not running for any office anymore, Hilary, and you don't need to stoop to talk about Sarah's non-issues. You have better things to do with your time. I am sure there are more pressing problems around the world.

Maybe Palin could tell her what she reads.

ha ha ha ha ha

CNN, please put Palin into the entertainment section! These “Palin Stories” are just too much. If Hilary would meet with Palin, then to have a good laugh, but surely not to lean anything from her.

Why would Hilliary who has a brilliant mind and fantastic work record want to meet with someone who could'n t finish her first term as governor and wrote a fictious book?

How diplomatic of Secretary Clinton; and how typically narcissitic of Palin.

This will be a life time meeting if it ever happens. I am pretty sure it will be civil and an eye opener for Palin. it will definitely be a discussion between a seasoned politician and a new comer. So my advice to Palin is to intently listen and gain experience in worldly / internal politics. It absolutely gracious of the secretary of sate to be open to the offer. I can not wait to see it if it happens.

And if you want something incomprehensible said, and said, and said, and said, ask Mrs. Palin.

Why would Hillary want to waste her time meeting Palin? In fact why would CNN want to waste time covering Palin?

Hillary Clinton sitting down with Palin to talk politics is like Einstein having a conversation with a first grader.

They both got the short end of the stick and they both deserved more

Finally Palin said something positive about a democrat (and something intelligent)

Hillary......you have a Brain.....Palin doesn't have a BRAIN......but I can't blame you to want to confirm this. You're like me...I'll talk with anybody.

Yeah, like Health Care...oh no, Clinton failed. I forgot

After about five minutes of idle chatter, Secretary Clinton would spend the meeting glancing at her watch.

Hillary would tear Sarah apart! Bring it on!!!

Apparently, the ex-Governor feels that Mrs. Clinnton worked hard during the 2008 campaign but her hard work as Secretary of State deserves no recognition. Equally apparent is Mrs. Palin's inability to see an opportunity to sit down with our current Secretary of State to offer suggestions and opinions on our current policies in the Middle East, China, and on domestic issues. I should think that if she was interested in being President she would act like one and help formulate policy. I guess that is telling of her leadership potential. Well, maybe she feels that hawking her book and going on TV shows is more important. She should take lessons from her fellow Republican party members who are meeting with Mrs. Clinton.

Sec'y of State Hillary Clinton sitting down to talk with Sarah Palin is akin to a seasoned parent (Clinton) talking to a retentive preteen (Palin). Would love to be proven wrong on this one.

Is she serious? Now that's a conversation I don't see going anywhere. Imagine a conversation between Mohatmas Ghandi and Creflo Dollar on religion...

Secretary Clinton is a class act – and if she and Palin ever had a debate over real issues that demanded a thorough and nuanced understanding – she'd eat Palin for lunch!

Sure wish the "talking politics" would be televised. Hilliary would mop the floor with the barbie dolls ridiculous, unintelligent, radical religious rights stances.
Actully, Hillary, you have much more important accomplishments to undertake than give this radical attention she does not deserve.

Why would she do this? Hilary is a Government Official who has pleny of work on her plate, due to the misssteps of the previous administration, and a few due to the current administration. Ms. Palin, on the other hand, is a self promoting huckster who would come out of the meeting a "winner" according to her delusional fans, if she only avoids wetting herself.

That meeting should be televised. Clinton is a shrewd intelligent woman, she'd talk circles around failin Palin and embarrass the crap out of her just because Clinton is actually able to have a real conversation.

Oh, I'd love to see a Clinton/Palin meeting. Clinton would make toast out of the "wanna-be".

I look forward for Clinton to sit down. Why should Sarah Palin stoop so low as to meet with Hillary? What has Hillary done to deserve an interview with Sarah Palin?

as if Hillary needs your hat tipping. she is light years ahead of you dont you cant sit in the same state as her.

i like Hillary and I think she'd find some common ground wtih fmr Gov. Palin

I'd love to see this. I'm sure they'll have a very similar story about how badly they were treated by the biased and sexist media AND their own political party. Before any dem or rep party...they are women and mothers first.

I don't see the reason to meet with Palin. She will only use you as a propaganda tool. She has nothing of substance to add to the task of good government.

Hilary, please don't do it, this woman is a vile human being. She will lie about the meeting with you, just to make herself look good.

She has no regard for anyone but herself, not even her children. I still can not believe McCain choose this wrench and people really voted for her. Women, wake up to this phoney!

Good for Hilary Clinton. She can take care of herself quite well. Unfortunately if coffee meeting does occur Sarah Palin will try to badmouth Hilary. This is just how Sarah Palin has done her whole political life in Alaska and Nationally. Sarah Palin loves to lie I have discovered by intense researching of her many comments locally and nationally. Sarah feels he is "right" even when she is found to have lied. Alaska government is so corrupt. And Sarah is no different. Alaska laws and governor appointed ethics board enable all government coverups. No coincidence that so many lawmakers have been indicted by FBI there. And it wasn't Sarah who is tried to clean government up. Was the FBI. Just from a registered Republican who is very alarmed Sarah seems to get such national support with out people actually checking facts.

I would watch that. Both women are very admirable. I just wish Hillary Clinton would have spoken up and out at the sexist treatment, Sarah Palin received on the campaign and even today.

Sarah Palin is not even remotely in the same league as Secretary Clinton.

I guess they could talk about cookies, or maybe the view of Russia from Palin's front porch.

Obama has the patience and mercy to sit down and talk with Palin....Clinton on the other hand, does not. I really don't think Clinton would waste her time with Palin. Clinton said she would sit down with her because it was the nice thing to say.

I'm sad with myself to think this way, but I have to wonder who TOLD Ms Palin about the Thatcher quote, I have a hard time imagining that she actually read it, and/or that if she DID read it, that it stuck.

I have to say, it was a well formed thought and well written. I hope the two of them do get to sit down and talk, and I hope that Ambassador Clinton is able to see what so many of us have not... A brain.
THEN, I hop Amb. Clinton shares her experience with us and lets the media know how she did it, so that they too can see her as an actual intellectual being.

Palin and Hillary are two tough and smart women. I would love to have coffee with both of them. Hope to see a woman president or vice president one day soon despite the sexist media out there always trying to minimize these strong women. And yes, i'm talking about you CNN.........mirroring MSNB to become the next female basher using Palin as the target is not exactly journalism at its best!!! How about doing some stories on her term as governor and all that she accomplished? oh but that's no fun..right? what does experience has anything to do with running a state or a country? how naive i am!!!!

I'd Enjoy It For The Entertainment Value, Honestly If I Ever Met Former Alaskan Governer Sarah Palin For Coffee. I'd Be Too Busy Spitting It Out Laughing At Her, This Woman Is A Joke. The Only Reasons I Would Buy Her Book Going Rogue Is To Prop Up My Leaning Coffee Table, Use It As An Armrest, Or Let My Dog Chew Out The Pages.

Dear Mrs.Clinton,
Please don't lower yourself to her..She has no clue of what is going on in todays world ! You would be better off speaking to a group of
second graders......................

Too bad Hillary didn't win.

I respect Hilary for changing her tune–however, she should have at least spoken up for Palin against the diabolical smears when they were happening from other liberal women such as Sally Quinn and other liberal female politicians and celebrities. As I recall, SP said many kind things about Hillary when she started out. Too little, too late.

Viewed as Pants Suits and Skirts, they have this in common. They both saw tremendous problems with Bill Ayres having a role in Obama's political launch and writing his books. They both saw
Rev. Wright having a negative impact on Obama. They both support the military. Of course there are many policy differences, but these are a few things they do agree on.

Sarah Palin will NEVER even be in the same arean with Hillary. Hillary has a brain, works hard, and has many achievements under her belt. Palin has none of these attributes.

If you want a governor who will serve 2.5 years of a 4-year term, vote for Sarah Palin.

Hilary Clinton is highly educated, very intelligent and an experienced and respected politician. Sarah Palin is an under-educated, not too bright, soap-opera personality with little knowledge outside of Alaska. Clinton is a roll-model as to what women can accomplish while Palin is an embarssment.

Go Hill, let's have coffee with Sarah!

One may be smart and the other is just plain stupid,but what does it matter if your nothing more than a puppet anyway?

Hillary Rodham Clinton has done a great job of moving on from the presidential campaign and being an effective part of President Obama's team.

I wish I could say the same thing about many of her endlessly bitter supporters.

I think I just threw up a little.

HA! Hillary would run circles around Sarah. I'm laughing so hard thinking about it that tears are running down me face!

In a debate, Hillary would shred the know-nothing from Wassila. Barbie's (and the McCain camp's) idea that this intellectual lightweight would siphon off disgrunteled HRC voters from Obama is a much a joke as Palin's supposed "honestly/integrity"

Whether you like her or not, Hillary Clinton is a woman of towering intellect who has amassed a long list of accomplishments throughout her life.

Sarah Palin is not.

Sarah, Do you really know who Margaret Thatcher is? How much of this book dialogue did your "Ghost Writer" come up with.

That sounds like a perfectly sexist remark. How bout this. My brother-in-law said that not only shouldn't women be allowed to vote – they shouldn't be allowed to talk about it!
Teat for tat!

Palin is correct. They would have fundamental differences:
Clinton would know what she was talking about and Palin would not have a clue

Clinton is not saying what she really feels. In 2008 Clinton was scheduled to speak to a protest against iran's president at the UN. When Clinton found out Palin was going to be there it was reported she said I won't go speak there if that woman is going to be there.

This shows that Clinton will be running for president in 2016 and doesn't want to offend any voters.

And if you want something done wrong and claimed to be done right, ask Sarah Palin!

Secretary Clinton no doubt being polite. It would be like Mozart sitting down with Lindsey Lohan to talk music.

Why is anyone bothering the Secretary of State with such inane questions?

Jimmy Carter gave us Reagan, Obama will give us Palin

Former Temporary Governor Sarah Palin is not a politician. She's a self-created celebrity who had, for a brief time, attempted to serve as governor of a sparsely-populated state. Compare her Facebook publications to her spoken words and you it becomes clear her online entries are almost entirely ghostwritten. She's the best thing to happen to the Democratic Party in ages.

Mrs Clinton; she's not in the same class as you and it would be a total waste of your time.

why was your time with Palin
Hillary has more important things to do than listen to a loonatic
all Palin wants is free press

Oh to be a fly on the wall ... Hillary making small talk and lacing her chit chat with little put-downs that Sara wouldn't have the intellect to even understand ....

But seriously, I think it's indeed in the Democrats' interest to sit down for coffee with the leader of the Rethuglican Party. Why not?

Why does our secretary of state have to budget out her time for a face to face with a glorified facebooker?

So, Sarah Hon-ee, what have YOU done?

Actually DONE for the good of humanity?

Is Ms. Clinton looking for a way to ridicule this "beautiful" Alaskan peageant? Well, certainly I won't support it because as usuall Sarah Palin has nothing to offer in the past, today or in the nearest future.

Ha ha.. No wonder Tod is a do nothing husband, just an echo chamber.

Mrs. Clinton – we know you're just being nice! Don't waste your time with that lying idiot!! You're way too intelligent to even think about sitting down with that moron!!

This would be an interesting discussion. A woman who busted onto the national political scene by making city and state government work for the people sitting down with a former fist lady. I would advise Hillary to read Going Rogue first so she doesn't get embarrassed if they got into a discussion about how government is supposed to work in America.

CNN folk may love her for her ability to be such a good teller of "non-truths", but the rest of us would be willing to make a bet that Mrs. Clinton, who told us New Yorkers she'd never run for President during her term as Senator, will never meet Sarah Palin – she has to keep that myth alive that she's actually really good at what she does and really has a lot of profound things to say, while working really hard at it.

".... that we will fundamentally disagree on many issues .... ", yes like Hillary really has a brain and uses it regularly, is not part of the problem, knows what is going on in national and international politics, and is a terrifically hard worker that would NEVER have walked out of a job because it was "too much pressure" for her. But don't disturb Sarah, she is getting a manicure and fitting right now.

Hillary would chew her up and spit her out. That would be worth a pay-per-view.

I'd like have a cup of coffee with Sarah Palin so I can tell her to SHUT UP!!!

I would love to hear Hillary barbecue Palin!

If you don't want the truth, ask a politician.

I saw Hillary this weekend on the talk shows.

Weakness abounds in the Obama administration, and Hillary is no different. What a travesty that the US must suffer through 3 more years of this administration.

Hillary and the Alaskan Air Head are not in the same league. Here is another example of the Rouge Rogue trying to weasel out some more publicity and waste serious people's time.

Hopefully Palin will never invite Clinton for coffee. Our Secretary of State is a little busy for such a colossal waste of time.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall the day that happens !!!!

I would like to be at the coffee table with them.

I think that Clinton would have better uses of her time to sit down with Palin. What has Palin shown that she is going to or willing to do? I don't think that it would really happen. Clinton said that she would sit down, but never stated that she would read the book. I think she plans on reading something other than a coloring book.

You know, it kinda makes me wonder why all you Democrats react to every posting about Sarah Palin with volumes of hate comments, why are all of you so intimidated by her?

Go get her Hillary....She can't walk in your shoes if she tried!!! Palin you are no Hillary Clinton and never will be....

Hillary was a fool to become one of the clowns in the Obama circus. But she's a dedicated public servant, and the only adult in the administration, so good for her for putting country first over her political ambition.

Barry could take a lesson – actually, Barry could take a LOT of lessons – from Hillary. But he is too young, foolish and self-centered to know that.

The last part of Sarah's line should read, " . . . if you want anything made up that is not true or impossible to believe, I will say it to my followers, and they will swallow it hook, line, and sinker."

It would be a lot more fun and satisfying to see them kickbox eachother to the death. Have a nice day!

....And if you want something done wrong... ask a Palin.

Would the sit-down be titled 'Beauty and the Beast'?

Everybody finds Palin just fascinating!

Yes then I am next because Sarah Palin is about as important to Hillary as me.

Sounds like a fine idea. Hillary is good with kids.

This would be a meeting of the opposite ends of the IQ scale!

and should have been president except that American women have this terrible fear of other women and did not support her.....nor have American women supported any other woman for president.....

American women are so infantile that they cannot see beyond Oprah.....

Sarah Palin/Liz Cheney 2012....start the drum beat.......

Obama is ONE and DONE.

don't do it Hillary, you'll only reduce your IQ

Hillary, just remember Sarah is not too bright, so remember not to use any words she may not be able to understand. I don't think it would be much of a conversation judging by her past speeches and ramblings.

Palin is hardly in the same league as Clinton and Clinton would certainly have nothing to learn from Palin but a bunch of garbage.

Why is this world is there even any discussion about the Secretary of State, HRC, even considering sitting down with Sarah Palin, a common (and I use the term loosely) citizen, just like me and you? Perhaps she'll consider coming over to my house for a "sit-down coffee" as well. How ridiculous!

I guess if Hillary doesn't mind talking to a third grader, or a brick wall, talking to Sarah Palin couldn't be any more taxing on her intellect. Actually, it might be frustrating. Us older folks have less patience than when we were young. Having no grandchildren yet, Hillary doesn't really know how to communicate with a third grade intellect yet.

Let us bring back Draft so that we can shut up all war hawks of republican party.
They wanted to fight whole world on somebody else son and daughters.

I saw Hilary's backhanded comment yesterday on Meet The Press, Clinton said she be hearing and reading all the excerpts of Palin's book and her publicity from hotels in Japan, China, etc while she is doing her JOB. Do you really think Palin new that quote, or even who Margaret Thatcher is? Doubt it seriously.

Wow that would be news!

I think it might wind up being more than just a cup of coffee. I think Hillary would eat Sarah alive. Hope somebody records it.

Yeeeeesssss....... SNL will be good again......

Doesn't she have enough foreign despots to meet without going for domestic ones?

BOYCOTT Oprah today, PLEASE.
Hillary Clinton has more class and knowledge in her big toe than Sarah Palin could ever aspire to. What a waste of a cup of coffee.

Oh please Sarah dear, you would be so far out of your element.

The problem is: what she would have done, if elected president, is as bad as what Obama says he is going to do.

Sarah WISH she could be like Hillary!!!

Please select Palin as the next presidential candidate. Make it easy for Obama to get reelected.

Can you imagine what "Saturday Night Live" could do with this? .....Palin would be toast!

This would be like Hillary Clinton talking to a plant, and not a very intelligent plant either.

Hillary would eat her up alive.

Both of these woman would make far better presidents than the Ditherer in Chief that we currently have. I hope to someday see President Sarah Palin in the White House in 2013!

Make sure Sec. Clinton brings a picture book with her to explain what the is talking about...preferably a pop-up book to be safe.

I am fascinated by CNNs obsession with Sarah Palin. And you can betcha my comment will be moderated out as usual.

I can only think of two reasons why the fascination.

They feel Sarah is a front runner to run for a major office, and they want to continue the derogatory comments many of the posters here make about her.

Or, they know they are last in the ratings and this is the only was they can get 300 comments on a of the ticker topics.

Now to comment on the current Hillary / Sarah meeting. It will never happen. But if it did,,, can you say CATFIGHT!!!!!!!!
That would be funt o see, Hillary would kick Palins butt with her knowledge, but the Barricuda could wipe the floor with Hillary in a good all out brawl.

'If you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman.'"

And this comes from a woman who's party slammed the Supreme court judge nominee for stating that being a minority that has given her different judgment than that of a white male.

So I guess this is "great" for her to say, but any other comment like it can be an issue for anyone else. Why does she continue to get a free pass when she hasn't done ANYTHING BUT QUIT??

Sarah Palin stands pale in comparison to the accomplishments of Secretary Clinton, regardless of how you feel about them personally.

This is a no win for the secretary.

bwahahahahha...would Clinton charge her for the "coffee meetings"?

Is that Palin sit-down or smack-down?

I'd love to be a fly on the wall when that takes place! I'd love to see a woman as president, or even vice president soon, but not Sarah Palin.
The Republican party has some strong women who have the smarts, integrity and the strength to be contenders, but she's not one of them.

Palin can talk about how the American media spent so much time ripping her apart , And Hillary can talk about how the media turned on her .And how the media lied on them but held back critical story's about barry.

think that Hilary Clinton has better things to do with her time, given her current position in the Obama Administration, than to waste her time meeting and talking to Sarah Palin who is irrelevant and a national punchline. Hilary Clinton's time is better spent working on the issues of Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan. My advise to Hilary is this: FORGET SARAH PALIN AND GET TO WORK!!

Lol did Palin just fall out of Rushes grace?saying something nice about a Clinton.

Clinton would crush Palin in a heartbeat.....I wouldn't waste my time if I were Hillary...there are more important, worthwhile things to tackle than Palin...

Oh to be a fly on the wall for a meeting between Palin and Clinton. Clinton ... The extraordinarily bright, and Palin the Death Panel liar from Alaska. Wouldn't you like to know how Palin would answer this question:

Mrs. Palin ... Aren't the real "death panels' the insurance companies who refuse health care coverage to those people with prior conditions and eliminate your health care coverage when you become ill with a terminal illness?

AND, Mrs Palin ... what would be your specific alternative answer for those States that accepted stimulus funds so they would not have to cut funding for teachers and other critical needs? Remember Mrs. Palin that States MUST have balanced budgets by law. Deficits are not an option, not even in Alaska. Your Conservative buddy Rubio in Florida has chastised the Republican Governor for accepting stimulus funds BUT had NO ANSWER when question as to which expenses he would cut in lieu of the stimulus. Seems like the Repubs and Conservs have NO answer for anything these days.

Never happen. Palin's a loose cannon and has basically become an entertainer rather than a politician.

I hope Secrtary Clinton doesn't waste her time nor give any implied endorsement to the idiot from Alaska.

I get it. As a female politician, you can make any kind of ridiculous gender stereotype reinforcing statement you might desire and apparently not
fear political repercussions. As a man..... you might just want to keep you mouth shut.

Hilary I'm sure would look forward to some DEEP conversations with that mental Midgit Palin

I see Meryl Streep and Jessica Simpson in the movie version.

This is not news and if you saw Clinton's comment you wouldn't be reporting it. Her comment was nothing but a politically correct side step to a ridiculous notion that Palin could bring anything of substance to a conversation.

I believe Hilary Clinton will be president of the U.S.A. one day soon.

I admire Hilary Clinton's political professionalism and decorum. Can't say that for Sarah. It's much harder to trust her (Sarah's) winking and cliches and the "cute little lady" acts that she continually portrays when she's in front of a camera.

That's sort of be like Einstein meeting Corky from "Life Goes On."

That would be an interesting conversation....although a bit lopsided. They really do represent the opposites on the intellectual spectrum.

Don't do Clinton...She will then find fault with you

Why is so much time and energy wasted on this woman–Ms. Palin. Secretary Clinton, I would think you would have more important things to be working on, such as the Israeli-Palestine conflict or have you already bowed to influences. Our lop-sided world trade agreements etc., is in dire need of your time and effort. Both of you ladies need to get a life or get out of the way so something meaningful dialogue can take place on national concerns.

why on earth would clinton want to meet boob palin? does she really need the photo op?

It would be a good thing. Maybe Sarah could learn something constructive rather than the crap she has been saying.
Democrats will sit down with republicans, but the party of no and huge crys really doesn't want to sit down with the dems.

I can't imagine anything Sarah could say that would be of interest to Hilary. While I was not a Hilary supporter, but I think she is an extremely intelligent woman. On the other hand, Sarah is clearly not very bright and a mere "flash in the pan". She will make some $$ now as she has an opportunistic streak a mile wide, but 5 years from now people won't even know who she is.

That Hillary's got a heart of gold, willing to take time to talk to a mindless child-woman. I can only imagine how that conversation would go. Hillary would try to discuss problems with North Korea or the Darfur crisis and Palin would chime in with 'Yesterday I saw a MOOSE! It was a BIG moose! I got my crayons and I drew a picture of him!"

Hillary is such a generous spirit. Palin is clearly just wanting to up her own credibility by being seen with a real leader.

Palin seems finally to have realized that the majority of American voters are too smart for her usual inanities; she has found an intelligent quote to parrot. Unfortunately, mimicry does not pass for learned discourse.
We're still too smart for you, Sarah.

Just out of curiosity, how could Hillary Clinton talk "politics" with Sarah Palin when Palin is a complete ignoramous when it comes to politics?

She should say if you want something half-done ask me since I quit the governor's office. What a loser.
