Hillary Clinton, who tells dreadful lies (An enjoyable and accurate WaPo editorial alert!)
Washington Post ^ | September 19, 2016 | Marc A. Thiessen

Hillary Clinton tells us she is recovering from a mild case of pneumonia, but less than half of American voters believe her belated explanation of why she appeared to faint leaving a 9/11 commemoration. If she wants to understand why, she can find the answer in a children’s poem.

[Snip]

(After chronicling numerous Clinton lies) ... her dishonesty stretches back decades. As the late, great William Safire pointed out in a 1996 New York Times column, she delivered a "blizzard of lies" as first lady - about Whitewater, the firing of White House travel aides, her representation of a criminal enterprise known as the Madison S&L and how she made a 10,000 percent profit in 1979 commodity trading simply by studying the Wall Street Journal. Even back then, Safire concluded, Clinton was "a congenital liar."

The money quote of the day: A recent NBC News poll found that just 11 percent of Americans say Clinton is honest and trustworthy. To put that in perspective, 14 percent of American voters believe in Bigfoot. In other words, more Americans believe that a large, hairy, hominoid creature inhabits the forest of North America than believe that Hillary Clinton tells the truth.

If the left becomes convinced that Hillary will lose (she has an episode during a debate), they will drop her in a second. That is what they are setting up for.

Wait. MSM said they are bald-faced lies only embraced by kooks. Now they show up in an editorial.

Can you imagine what the people who she took hundreds of millions from in return for a promise of influence are setting up for?

If everybody knows, what does that say about the 50% who elect her?

The Clintonoid commenters on the article have apparently given her a new campaign slogan (presumably hoping their ten trillion minutes of MSM attacks on Trump have stuck):

“Our liar is better than your liar.”

She’s got enough medication in her system to deck a mule.

BS. This is WaPo just giving cover by publishing a single article vs 100’s against. I wish that they would not publish this

On the Jimmy Fallon show, I noticed she has a very odd way of holding her head.

She holds her head still for a few seconds or while she is speaking a sentence or two, but then she defaults to a persistent nodding or rocking motion with her head.

I wonder if this is a coping mechanism to avoid freezes/seizures by keeping the head in motion?

I wish more people would learn the difference between an individual opinion columnist and the entity which publishes their column.

Marc A. Thiessen is NOT the Washington Post editorial board, he does not speak for WaPo, and he is not “the left” or the MSM. He is one guy, relatively conservative, and not the WaPo itself. Thus, all the chortling about an op-ed piece in WaPo which critizes Hillary is rather misplaced. Marc A. Thiessen is a somewhat conservative columnist who was previously a speechwriter for Donald Rumsfeld and also George W Bush. Thus, his criticisms of Hillary reflect nothing about views of WaPo editors or the MSM.

Why does no one ever mention that she was fired from the Watergate Committee for LYING?

Are all of these journalists too young to remember?
