Hillary Clinton: From Glass Ceiling to Crass Dealing

The world has seen a number of women as top political leaders. Theresa May is the second female prime minister in Great Britain, after Maggie Thatcher. Angela Merkel is the long-serving chancellor of Germany. Years ago, there was Indira Gandhi of India.

Now Hillary Clinton is on the cusp of being elected U.S. president, the biggest political prize in the world. Despite America's disquiet with family dynasties in a republic, there is much to celebrate in America's willingness to elect anyone, irrespective of background, as president.

Unfortunately, Clinton is a poor choice to be a path-breaker. The image that best fits her time in politics is not breaking the glass ceiling, but engaging in crass dealing. From the emergence of the Clintons in Arkansas politics to now, everything has been about them in the worst way.

It is easy to forget that Bill Clinton's path to the White House a quarter-century ago was hindered by corrupt debris left by his and Hillary's time in Arkansas. Even the New York Times could not ignore the obvious if well-concealed bribe of the "cattle trades" orchestrated by a businessman with interests in the state.

The Whitewater development showcased another aspect of the Clinton's venality. The disappearance of Hillary Clinton's billing records at the infamous Rose law firm foreshadowed the convenient loss of emails from her time at the State Department. No American could be unaware of the couple's moral failings while voting to place them in the White House.

I’m so embarassed. I read that as from glass ceiling to crack dealing.

Crack dealers are honorable compared to Hillary.

Glass ceilings are usually found in glass houses.

Mrs. Clinton should probably not throw stones at Mr. Trump.
