Journalists celebrating Hillary as the “successful,” “remarkable,” “fabulous,” “sexy” and “pious” “icon of American womanhood.”

“...Hillary Clinton would have you believe she’s an amalgam of Betty Crocker, Mother Teresa, and Oliver Wendell Holmes.... Hillary Clinton, the wife to be challenged to fit perfectly into the ill-defined role of political spouse, is more interesting than that.” — Margaret Carlson writing in the January 27, 1992 edition of Time magazine. "... Granted, she is a remarkable woman. The first student commencement speaker at Wellesley, part of the first large wave of women to go to law school, a prominent partner in a major law firm, rated one of the top 100 lawyers in the country — there is no doubt that she is her husband’s professional and intellectual equal. But is this reason to turn her into ‘Willary Horton’ for the ’92 campaign, making her an emblem of all that is wrong with family values, working mothers, and modern women in general?” — Margaret Carlson, September 14, 1992 issue.

“H.R. Clinton: Feminaut explores gender cosmos. The most fabulous woman in U.S. history?!?!” — Newsweek’s “Conventional Wisdom Watch” awarding Hillary Clinton with an “Up” arrow for her debut as First Lady, February 15, 1993.

“As the icon of American womanhood, she is the medium through which the remaining anxieties over feminism are being played out....Perhaps in addition to the other items on her agenda, Hillary Rodham Clinton will define for women that magical spot where the important work of the world and love and children and an inner life all come together. Like Ginger Rogers, she will do everything her partner does, only backward and in high heels, and with what was missing in [Lee] Atwater — a lot of heart.” — Time White House correspondent Margaret Carlson, May 10, 1993.

■ “I saw a Hillary Clinton that I’d never seen before. She was funny, charming, sexy — yes, gang, sexy. We are both Scorpios, which tells you a lot. She’s informal — called me ‘Larry’ and told me to call her by her first name...Meanwhile, she’s earned the respect of everyone (except the wackos) with her handling of the health care issue. Indeed, she has gotten everyone (except the wackos) to agree that we need health care for everyone. This is a very formidable idea, ladies and gentlemen.” — CNN/Mutual Broadcasting talk show host Larry King in his October 4, 1993 USA Today column, writing about his interview with the First Lady two days earlier.

The office of the President of the United States is NOT a venue for acting out your psychological hang-ups and taking revenge on your “enemies”.

Richard Nixon should always and ever be the standard by which to measure the effects of personal bias and attempts to “get back” at rivals.

Really? Top 100 lawyers? What exactly did she do?

I'll tell you what she did. She has kept herself and her husband out of jail. But that wasn't her lawyering, it was him and her serving their masters faithfully.

She has no resume to point to that doesn't involve the sale of office and major skullduggery below the radar.

No, she's an amalgam of Marie Antoinette, The Wicked Witch of the West, and Bozo the Clown.
