Rush Limbaugh endorses Clinton for Obama's cabinet

He calls it "a brilliant stroke" by President-elect Barack Obama, who opposed Clinton for the Democratic nomination.

Limbaugh weighs in on the new administration as one of Barbara Walters' "10 Most Fascinating People of 2008," which airs Thursday on ABC.

On Monday, Obama announced Clinton as his nominee for secretary of state.
