Lanny Davis' e-mail Letter to Hillary Is D.C.'s Most Cringe-Inducing Document Ever
Weekly Standard ^ | 09/02/2015 | BY MICHAEL WARREN

Posted on 09/02/2015 2:07:32 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

The latest stash of emails from Hillary Clinton's private server released by the State Department has (once again!) revealed Washington to be a particularly unbearable place, employing particularly insufferable people. From Clinton's email correspondence with her senior staff we can observe how those with proximity to power engage in rare forms of backstabbing, obsequiousness, pettiness, bad humor, and self-obsession.

There was the revelation that Huma Abedin, Clinton's aide-de-camp who held down multiple six-figure salaries at outside consulting firms while making $135,000 at State, apparently complains about not getting "paid enough." Another top Clinton aide, Philippe Reines, was seen tattling on a colleague directly to the secretary. "I for one loved that you finally called out the ogrish males on your staff who roll their eyes at womens [sic] issues and events," Reines wrote to Clinton before calling out one such male staffer by name.

The Reines email might be the second most cringe-inducing document in Washington ever. The top (so far!) prize, however, certainly goes to Clinton lawyer, advocate, and all-around flunky Lanny Davis. In September 2010 Davis sent his "dear friend Hillary" an email with the subject line "Personal - a personal favor." What follows are two pages of over-the-top praise for the former first lady, more than a healthy dose of self-promotion on Davis's part, several hand-wringing apologies for even bothering the great and powerful Hillary Clinton with such a terrible request, and four groveling "pleases."

The email has to be seen to be believed:

A couple of thoughts

Interesting how an “insider” like Davis counts people like Ted Olson and Karl Rove as friends and people who can deliver for him. More evidence we simply have a “uniparty” with two factions running the apparatus of government?

ALSO - no one has answered this question: Clinton obviously knew the legal, political, and PR risks of running her own e-mail server. Yet she did it anyway. Obviously, there is something she is hiding that is worth that risk, and something which could not face the scrutiny which would come from using State Department servers. What is it she was trying to hide???

We need a new and better word for ‘Criminal’.

Geez Lanny quit slobbering and just remind her of the countless times you lied to cover for her philandering lying rapist of a husband, and here’s what you’re going to do, Hill, and when.

That is the language she understands. With a few f-bombs tossed in for good measure.

RE: What could be more cringe-lnducing than Lanny Davis himself?

For many years, Lanny Davis was one of the few Liberals that Sean Hannity invited to his show to present the liberal side’s take on issues.

I might disagree with him on almost everything, but I found him not to be an unlikable fellow. At least, he does not present himself as a nasty, annoying individual.

Pokistani Lany has certainly come to know just what’s required to grease the skids over the last three decades!

“and believe it or not, even Senator McCain called the reporter personally on his cell phone to tell him how much he appreciated my bipartisan *Purple Nation* approach to politics (inspired, of course, by my friend the great former Junior Senator from New York, Hillary Clinton, whom my friend Lindsey Graham once told me was the nicest and most effective person in the U.S. Senate!).”

This, is why Lindsey Graham shouldn’t be allowed to continue calling himself a Republican, and definitely should not be the Republican nominee.

Absolutely agree, and this is why there is no such thing as true representative government.

Lanny makes the term “obsequious” seem weak. And it’s interesting to see who this buffoon’s other friends are too.

Hillary to Huma, pointing to her computer screen:

"This is the kind of s*** I have to put up with."

His language reminds me of something that would have been said by some professional suck-up to the King of England back in the middle ages.
