Secretary Clinton is thinking about quitting her secretary-of-state job to run for New York governor, according to a one-sentence post written by Weekly Standard blogger Michael Goldfarb, who was deputy communications director for Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign last year. Goldfarb's source? His "boss" (presumably editor William Kristol), who heard it from two sources.

As a Gawker blogger put it, "If Bill Kristol says it, than [sic] it is the opposite of true. That is the only constant in American Politics."

Other Clinton news:

•Clinton will be at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York tomorrow -- Sept. 11 -- to receive the Roosevelt Institute's FDR Four Freedoms Award, which "honors a lifetime of distinguished service and an unwavering commitment to these freedoms." (Those four freedoms being "freedom of speech and expression, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear.") If you have $1,000 and cocktail attire, you can attend the gala dinner.

•As you've probably heard, the Supreme Court -- with Justice Sonia Sotomayor debuting -- is hearing the campaign finance case related to Hillary: The Movie.

When you hear something from Bill Kristol

I immediately question the authenticity of anything he says. The guy is just not credible.
