HILLARY CLINTON ON LIBYA:
‘I TAKE RESPONSIBILITY’
3
HOTTEST SEPTEMBER ON RECORD SINCE ’05

COMEDY DUO TO CO-HOST
GOLDEN GLOBES
Hillary Clinton claimed responsibility this week
for any security lapses related to the attack
on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya,
that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens
on Sept. 11. The Obama administration has
been hit with questions about the attack and
security at the compound, but Clinton backed
up Vice President Joe Biden’s claim that the White House was not involved in security
requests. “I want to avoid some kind of political gotcha,” she told CNN.
Last month tied with September 2005 as the
warmest September ever recorded worldwide,
according to the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration. This year will likely
be one of the top 10 warmest years on record,
and is on track to be the warmest year on the
books for the U.S, the federal agency says.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association
lucked out this year by getting Amy Poehler
and Tina Fey to sign on as hosts for the
2013 Golden Globes—a “major coup,” as
one NBC exec called it. With a hit show to
each of their names—Parks and Recreation
for Poehler and 30 Rock for Fey—the duo
is sure to bring in large audiences. Fans
praised the announcement on Twitter,
calling it a “genius move” and proclaiming
that “all is right in the world.”
