Hillary's heel: Nagging loss of trust grows by Olympic proportions
Orlando Sentinel ^ | 08/25/16 | Kathleen Parker

Posted on 08/25/2016 9:43:44 AM PDT by AngelesCrestHighway

When I wrote the headline "Hillary's heel," I was thinking of Achilles, not Bill, though the former president is usually within nipping range of his wife's pantsuit hem. Hillary Clinton's Achilles' heel is her very Clinton-ness. Just as her husband was willing to parse the meaning of the word "is" rather than admitting his foibles early on and preventing the national torture of watching his extramarital sex life unfold, Hillary has mastered the habit of teetering along the knife's edge of truth. Like a gymnast on a balance beam, she manages to stay within the narrow parameters of lawfulness without losing her footing. But her long history of avoiding provable infractions despite hundreds of hours of investigations and millions in taxpayer expense — from Whitewater to Benghazi to her private email server — may soon end in an Olympian loss of trust.

What if a majority of our society is as corrupt as Hillary?

I don't think there is any "what if" about it. It may not be a majority of our society, but it is certainly a sizable minority.

Corrupt societies raise up corrupt leaders.

How anyone can vote for this congenital liar is a mystery to many. It’s just been one scandal after another wherever she goes and whatever she does. When she’s caught lying, just lies about the lies. She obviously thinks that she’s above the law. Does anyone, but her hardcore, true believers, really think that she’ll run an honest administration?

Foibles? The correct word is CRIMES. Rape, drug smuggling, and murder for Bill, and even worse crimes for Hill.

If they 'fessed up, they'd both be ripe for execution.

Will someone please let the author know that “parameter” is not a new and upscale way of saying “perimeter”?

Rotten societies raise up rotten leaders. We need a few good men to organize and lead us out of this mess.

she went to Cher’s house for a fundraiser and only could get the libtards to cough up $1.2 million.

Trumpo could send out a tweet and raise more than that in an hour

There is hope. One: we must organize; two: we must find leaders. Remember Lenin conquered a nation of 100,000,000 with only about 250,000 dedicated followers. The French Revolution toppled a regime with only a few 100,000 out of 35,000,000. It can be done.

Lately hillary’s butt is of more concern; she can’t control it any better than she controlled Bill.
