The Age shows its class again. At the bottom of an article on Obama considering Hillary Clinton for Secretary of State: “Should Senator Clinton become secretary of state, she would not be the first woman to hold the position. That distinction goes to Madeleine Albright, who was appointed by the senator’s husband, president Bill Clinton, in 1996.” Yeah, and she wouldn’t be the second, either. Starting with Albright, the post has been held by a white woman, a black man (Powell), and a black woman (Rice)—appointing a woman is no biggie, and not worth drawing attention to.
