Just how desperate for news is an obsessive political press corps now trying to find its way after one of the biggest elections in history? Exhibit A is the mindless speculation that Hillary Clinton is being considered for Secretary of State, a story that's now been picked up by just about everybody.

We don't know where this nugget of information came from or whether it's legitimate, but in today's media environment - especially on matters such as cabinet appointments and the like - things like accuracy and solid sourcing are irrelevant.  All we know for sure is that Hillary Clinton is in Chicago today.
