Washington , Feb 3 (AFP) Despite the daunting challenges she faces as the new US secretary of state, Hillary Clinton poked fun at herself and at her husband Bill Clinton during her swearing-in. "I&aposm so grateful to him for a lifetime of all kinds of experiences,"said Clinton, pausing in the middle of her phrase before finishing it on a harder tone at an elite ceremony in the State Department. Her joke drew hearty laughter from a group of diplomats, politicians and a leading comedian as well as her mother, daughterChelsea and the ex-president, his ruddy cheeks and white hair a match with his red-and-white-striped tie.
