Scrutinizing Hillary Clinton




[From article]
Although her base of support is infinitesimally shallow, it is quite shrill. Feminists on TV are shocked that people are allowed to criticize Hillary in a way they were not allowed to criticize the angel Obama. Park Avenue matrons with their own fancy degrees from places like Smith and Wellesley rave about how smart Hillary is as a way of calling themselves smart.
[. . .]
By feminist logic, that meant Hillary was owed the presidency. Quid pro ‘ho.
But, then, the office THAT BELONGED TO HER was snatched away when Democrats dumped Hillary in 2008 for their new trophy wife, Barack Obama.
[. . .]
Hillary’s long list of accomplishments consists of: (1) being cheated on as first lady; (2) being handed a Senate seat from a heavily Democratic state, where she accomplished nothing legislatively (other than her vote for the Iraq War, which I think was terrific!); and (3) being appointed secretary of state, whereupon she participated in one foreign policy disaster after another.
[. . .]
There’s the fact that the Clinton Foundation seems to have been little more than a personal cash cow for the Clintons and their friends, with $400 million out of $500 million going to pay “employees” of the foundation, plus another $25 million for employees’ travel, and only $75 million, or 15 percent of the total haul, being used for anything vaguely related to “charity.” The Clinton Foundation makes Al Sharpton’s National Action Network almost look legit.
