Because news travels faster over the pond: The Guardian is reporting that Hillary Clinton is accepted the offer Secretary of State. Which is funny, because:

A) Why would a British paper get the scoop on the story before the, say, New York Times, unless the leak (the story was sourceless) was some American-hating foreigner like…Rahm Emmanuel?

B) It means that parsing through Bill Clinton's finances took less than a week, an incredible feat considering no one's been able to untangle that mess since he's stop being president.

Then again, it could just be an issue of careless wording. Consider the opening statement:

"Hillary Clinton plans to accept the job of secretary of state offered by Barack Obama, who is reaching out to former rivals to build a broad coalition administration, the Guardian has learned."

"Plans to accept the job." As in, plans to, when the job is officially offered. The rest of the article goes on to tell us what we already know: Bill is cleaning up his finance bucket of receipts for the Obama team, McCain looked tres uncomfortable during that meet and greet in Chicago (because he's not getting a cabinet position, perhaps?!?), bing bang boom, the story's on the cover of Drudge and it's now as good as the truth. Blogocracy, y'all!
