Hillary was never 'the smartest woman in the room'
American Thinker ^ | 19 Jun, 2025 | Patricia McCarthy

Remember back when Bill Clinton was President and Hillary was his co-president?

Back then, the ever-slavish media regularly referred to her as “the smartest woman in the room."

That was never true. Not even close.

She was never a feminist heroine because she “was no Tammy Wynette” and did not “stay home and bake cookies and stand by her man.”

She was always just a mean, bitter, unattractive woman with narcissistic delusions of her own abilities.

And after all the intervening years, when she was Obama’s Secretary of State (a pity appointment because she lost the election to him – better to keep her inside the tent), she further proved she was not the smartest woman in the room.

She was always only interested in achieving ever more personal wealth and power; Bill was just a vehicle to that end. Bill was a bright but unserious man who muddled through his two terms, most of which were spent trying to escape, or at least ameliorate, the media’s attention to his many scandals, from Whitewater to Monica Lewinsky and all the others in between (“bimbo eruptions,” cocaine use, murders, sexual abuse accusations, the Clinton Foundation, etc.).

Hillary, on the other hand, was always focused on advancing her own power within the deep state. She did and still would sell out her best pals for money and/or political power.

The Clinton Foundation was a scam, a grift. The foundation raised millions of dollars from foreign sources for favors granted when she was Secretary of State. Little of the money allegedly raised for Haiti after that nation’s horrific earthquake ever reached the Haitians, nor was it spent on reconstruction there.

The Clintons are loathed in Haiti for good reason. The Haitian people know they were used and abused by Hillary Clinton.

I have been privileged in a long life to have worked with, or for, or known some very smart people. Squeezing my memories into one place I can draw some conclusions that appear to cover them as a class. They were modest about their intelligence. They listened to the ideas of others. If they disagreed what they did was ask questions that led the speaker to the conclusion that he was wrong. Then they would generally ask more questions which led the speaker to develop an idea of the situation which, miraculously, was the same as the smart guy’s vision from the beginning. They went out of their way not to humiliate anyone. I watched a senior coworker question a couple of techs to get them to the place he could have put them in less than five minutes. I asked him why he didn’t just give them the answer. He said, “did you see how enthusiastic they were when the bell went off in their heads? Odds are they’ll work late tonight to prove they were right.” He was dead on. They stayed after midnight at a facility that did not pay overtime.

Hillary Clinton flunked the DC Bar exam which is a bit odd for the smartest person in the room. She then moved to Arkansas where she passed it but never again took the DC Bar exam.

Hillary was always the snotty little girl in the room, but never the smartest, not even even in a room full of rocks.

re: “There must be an entertaining excuse.”

The take-away I got - not only is she a psychopathic narcissist, she’s codependent ...

It’s all revenge because she hated her Father (a conservative).

Maybe Bill has been shooting blanks his whole life. Kinda like his Presidency.

Bill had sex enough with prostitute Bobbie Ann Williams to get lucky and have a son, Danney Lee Williams:

Bill sure liked the Brown Sugar!

No, but probably the most corrupt.

Hillary's lack of intelligence is the result of her inability or refusal to think. She's mentally rigid.

Adopting an ideology so rigidly that you stop thinking and live entirely by its physical and mental diktats rots the mind.

That’s why people on the radical Left often appear like automatons: they’ve surrendered thought in favor of ideological programming.

But this isn’t unique to the Left. Anyone who uses an ideology as an absolute template for life risks the same decay.

Some libertarians, for instance, are so ideologically opposed to military intervention that they become blind to the need for national defense against real enemies.

All this use of past tense, I was sure this was an obituary.
One can hope.

I don’t know. We’ve heard of Anita Dunn, Victoria Nuland, Jasmine Crockett, etc. Somehow, I think we would’ve heard of Hillary Rodham even if Bill had never met her.

Typical Lamestream media ploy: Repeat a lie long enough, and it becomes fact.

I have "conservative" friends who reliably vote Republican, but they are totally hoodwinked by these media tactics. They believe Hillary is smart and Sarah Palin is stupid, and even believe Trump is corrupt (although they claim they voted for him). They took the jibby-jab plus 2 boosters and banned me from their house for a year because I refused to comply. They have all manner of serious illnesses now, ranging from stroke to fainting spells that their doctor has no explanation for. They think I'm a tin-foil hat for insisting 2020 was stolen.

As you can guess, I'm no longer close to them. I've known them since high school, and we were besties. It's sad. Unfortunately, I believe there are A LOT of people like them in the country.

She employed very effective “cleaners”.

Hillary was never that smart and everyone knew it.

What she is greedy, grasping megalomaniac with a narcissistic sociopath's personality a constant need for ego gratification and the imposition of autocratic power over others.

The “smartest woman in the world” mantra came about by Rush Limbaugh and Republicans who had her number and constantly fed her ego by constantly referring to her as such.

They figured that if they kept inflating her ego, her hubris and toxic personality would eventually bring down the Clinton machine, which it did. It just took longer than anyone expected

Bill liked brown sugar, cane sugar, honey, maple syrup, powdered sugar, and any kind of natural sweetener known to man, but I’m not sure if he was in to aspartame or any of the fake stuff. Perhaps. He was and always will be a horn dog.

“She was always just a mean, bitter, unattractive woman with narcissistic delusions of her own abilities.”

The Hildebeest’s good points.

Not to my knowledge. He refuses to take a paternity test, and no one can make him do it. I think he gave the young man some hush money years ago to get the story to go away.
