Clinton snubbed in GQ's 'most powerful in D.C.' ranking

Wed, 10/14/2009 - 12:45pm

GQ magazine has published a list of the 50 most powerful people in D.C., and Secretary Clinton is only No. 18! As my colleague Blake Hounshell writes at FP's Passport, it's a snub to rank her after CIA Director Leon Panetta, former Vice President Dick Cheney (who's no longer in office), and various members of Congress (such as Barney Frank). I guess it gets back to that whole low-profile question.

not surprising

Hillary always get the shaft.

Doesn't make sense at all.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney (who's no longer in office), and various members of Congress (such as Barney Frank)higher than Secretary of State. What?

Hillary snubbed

Probably a listing developed by male conservatives who can't stand her popularity and influence. It figures.

Her power is demonstrated by the fact that she received more popular votes in the primaries than our current President.
