Senate Republicans want two Clintons for the price of one when it comes time to confirm Hillary Clinton for secretary of state. Some GOP lawmakers have considered calling on Bill Clinton to testify before the Senate Foreign Relations committee on potential conflicts of interest, before they give his wife their stamp of approval.

The fourth annual Clinton Global Initiative continued on yesterday with an appearance by Drew Barrymore who cozied up with the former president himself. Drew was there as part of her involvement with the United Nations World Food Programme and despite the other fun we saw her having in NYC this week — making out with Gossip Girl's Ed Westwick — it's clear she's got more on her mind than boys.
