Hillary Clinton to get American Patriot award from Bill's closest cronies

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will receive the National Defense University Foundation's American Patriot Award, backed by a committee of people who could provide an oral history of Bill Clinton's most controversial moments.
There are five honorary co-chairs of the award ceremony, three of whom have close Clinton ties: Madeleine Albright, who served as Secretary of State under Bill Clinton; former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, who spent two years as Clinton's White House chief of staff; and Vernon Jordan, who became a household name when he attempted to cover up the Monica Lewinsky scandal by getting the then-White House intern a job. (The other two co-chairs are former Republican presidential candidate Jon Huntsman and George W. Bush's former Secretary of State Colin Powell.)
