Yeah, this is pretty ridiculous but it did get a column in the NY Times.
The notion of real neoconservatives (as compared to the neocons of Jacob Heilbrunn's fantasy world) supporting Hillary is actually pretty ridiculous. But of course this article really has nothing to do with the neocons. It's a shot across Hillary's bow from the portside, intended to peel away hardcore liberals from her base heading into the primaries. I have little doubt that there are plenty of "progressives" dismayed at the notion that Hillary is the heir apparent; if this story is to be believed, even Obama is working against her coronation.
What's that? My avatar? It's meant to be ironic; I find it Hillaryous myself.

Even as they castigate Mr. Obama, the neocons may be preparing a more brazen feat: aligning themselves with Hillary Rodham Clinton and her nascent presidential campaign, in a bid to return to the driver’s seat of American foreign policy. To be sure, the careers and reputations of the older generation of neocons — Paul D. Wolfowitz, L. Paul Bremer III, Douglas J. Feith, Richard N. Perle — are permanently buried in the sands of Iraq. And not all of them are eager to switch parties: In April, William Kristol, the editor of The Weekly Standard, said that as president Mrs. Clinton would “be a dutiful chaperone of further American decline.” But others appear to envisage a different direction — one that might allow them to restore the neocon brand, at a time when their erstwhile home in the Republican Party is turning away from its traditional interventionist foreign policy. |

President Obama has quietly promised Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren complete support if she runs for president — a stinging rebuke to his nemesis Hillary Clinton, sources tell me. |
