I watched her on GPS yesterday too (that's my favorite news show) and I think Fareed's first question was about what Bill thought about the N. Korean issue and she gave him a pretty snappish answer about never talking about what her husband tells her and that she wasn't here to answer that question.
I think there is more to this. I think Obama wanted Bill as Secretary of State and chose Hillary instead because A) he could be seen as doing a Lincoln-esque cabinet of opponents and B) use Bill's influence on the world through Hillary.
And I wonder if she's resenting that now.
And yes, the media is making a big deal out of this, I agree. But that doesn't mean that the underlying issues aren't there. If the media is seeing this as undermining Hillary's authority, so will the world, and therein lies the rub.
