Slideshow: Hillary Clinton's Morning on Capitol Hill

As you know, today, accompanied by Secretary of Defense Gates and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Mullen, Secretary Clinton appeared before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to testify about the New START Treaty crafted under her auspices with Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov.

Earlier, in fact while the hearings were still in session, I posted a few photos that came up fast from the hearing room. I am somewhat amazed at the alacrity with which the photos came up as well as with how quickly the State Department managed to get the video and her remarks posted. I am accustomed to waiting impatiently.

The video is in a prior post and well worth watching. I realize that this slideshow is half redundant since I did include the photos posted earlier, but I do not think visitors here are the kind of people who think there exists such a thing as "too many pictures of Hillary Rodham Clinton."

She looked like a Spring flower among the suits, and they all looked delighted to be with her, and most importantly, very appreciative of her hard work in getting this treaty written. Her defense, explanations, and presentation were clear as crystal, as usual. In short, she was awesome while looking absolutely beautiful, which is nothing new for Hillary Clinton. Enjoy the show!
