Milligan: Unfair to Expect Hillary Supporters to Name Her Accomplishments As Secretary of State
Newsbusters ^ | May 20, 2015 | By Ken Shepherd

U.S. News & World Report's Susan Milligan wildly spun for Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton on the May 20 edition of Hardball when she insisted that the fact that her supporters in a recent focus-group survey by Bloomberg TV cannot name a single accomplishment of hers as Secretary of State is, well, "unfair."

Indeed, Milligan insisted, the job of Secretary of State is essentially to make sure nothing major goes wrong on his or her watch. Clearly Susan has never heard of the fiasco that is post-Qadhafi Libya or the ongoing civil war in Syria or the abject failure of the Russia "reset."

For his part, Matthews agreed with Milligan by recalling that "Obama didn't have a big accomplishment before he got elected."

Do these people ever listen to themselves?! At any rate, here's a transcript of the remarks in context:

She knocked off over 200 cases of booze. Some might call that a major accomplishment.

Uh, well, hmmm. Okay, I guess. But despite all the dribble and drivel in that quote, she still didn’t name a single accomplishment.

Mastering Authentic DC Gibberish isn’t easy. It’s an accomplishment!

The only thing bigger than that big picture is her rear end and maybe her ego.

Kennedy couldn't give a straight and coherent answer.

Teddy couldn't give a straight answer to any question unless he had one of his handlers whispering the answer in his ear. As for coherence --- he never had any.

The guy was an intellectual zero.

Unfair, lol. Cause you can’t think of ANY.

Worst SOS since WJ Bryan (THREE time rat nominee for President), who said about the nation of Haiti upon first learning of it’s existence in 1912, mere months before taking over the State Department, “Dear me, think of it, ***gers speaking French!!”

I sure hope the next SOS will have some ****ing clue what they’re doing.

Actually, it’s simple.

She said “I pi$$ed a bunch of people off because they disagreed with me.” She also talked about being open minded - which is rather simple when nary a thought exists in the old gray matter.

Does that help?

It can be ANY time in her life. ANY accomplishment will do...

How about the time she got the child rapist off? That was impressive... she even laughed about it.

Then there’s all the women Bill abused.. she put those sluts and nuts in their places...

As for coherence --- he never had any.

A talk show host in Boston had an audio clip (unfortunately lost among station sales and mergers) of Kennedy running a committee meeting while drunk. Had to have a handler whispering corrections for just about every line he spoke:

"We're about bill Sxxx..." "No, bill Syyyy"
"...about ABC..." "No, XYZ..."
"...urge to vote against it..." "No, for it."
Etc.

But they kept voting him in.

"Not only am I eminently qualified to president--having
a vagina, real boobs, post-menopausal hot flashes, and all----
but due to the shady activities of our wonderful foundation,
there's so many people among my friends and relatives
who desperately need presidential pardons."

Obama speaks at ceremony receiving the remains of
Americans slaughtered at Benghazi, as Hillary listens.

"I wish this boob would stop talking so I can think.
Dammit, this sure puts a crimps in my presidential
plans. As Bill would say: just blame Republicans."

Don’t mess with “Ms.” In-between.

I think you were first to say it - it’s gonna be O’Malley.
