Hillary Clinton reportedly has a book in the works about world affairs. It’s unclear whether it will be about her term as Secretary of State or Bill’s love life … Speaking of Bill, a Ukrainian feminist group called Femen staged an event throughout Europe yesterday called International Topless Jihad Day. Hondo hears the founder of the Clinton Global Initiative saw the photos and was moved to approve, shouting: NOW THAT’S MY KIND OF JIHAD!!! … John Kerry has joined Obama in pledging to donate five percent of his salary to show solidarity with furloughed federal workers.
