"Hillary Clinton cemented her newly cool image and set off fresh chatter about her future when she met at the State Department with two young men who created a popular Internet meme showing photos of the secretary of state on a military plane, wearing big sunglasses, checking her BlackBerry and looking as if she’s ready to ice somebody."
"Ice somebody"? The failure of Hillary and the rest of the Obama administration to lift a finger has indeed allowed Bashar al-Assad to "ice" thousands of innocent Syrian civilians over the past year. "Cool Hand" Hillary's March 27, 2011 response, notwithstanding overwhelming evidence at the time of the Syrian president's monstrous suppression of the revolt against his regime (see: http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/syrias-reformer/2011/03/31/AFy4JFCC_story.html):
"Many of the members of Congress of both parties who have gone to Syria in recent months have said they believe he’s a reformer."
Perhaps Maureen would care to ask Hillary (and Barack) if part of the Obama administration's secret message to Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei, via Turkey's Erdogan (http://jgcaesarea.blogspot.com/2012/04/obama-sends-message-to-irans-supreme.html), was that in exchange for US inaction involving Syria, it was expected that Iran would limit its nuclear development program to "civilian" purposes.
Sorry, but sunglasses don't make for "cool."
