Has-Been Hillary
National Review ^ | 5/31/17 | Kyle Smith

Posted on 06/01/2017 11:20:32 AM PDT by NohSpinZone

The funniest episode in the protective yet revealing new Hillary Clinton profile arrives when we learn that this sad, unemployed, 69-year-old lady is so desperate to keep her self-image alive that she still employs flunkies and retainers to treat her as though she actually were the president, or the secretary of state, or a president in waiting, or at very least the leader of the opposition. Her longtime loyalists are so happy to bustle around her in the service of maintaining the illusion that, after she takes an hour away from it all to exercise, her communications director, Nick Merrill, breathlessly updates her on everything that’s happened in the political world in the last threescore ticks of the minute hand.

Her profiler, Rebecca Traister of New York magazine, obviously a great admirer but one who declines to throw herself overboard from reality for the sake of giving Hillary more company bobbing about in the sea of fancy, writes that Clinton “listens to the barrage of updates, nodding like a person whose job requires her to be up-to-date on what’s happening, even though it does not.”

All I can say is: Ouch Town, Cankles, population you! What a pathetic excuse for a wannabe president.

She should go fly her broom for a while.Might take her mind off her troubles.
(Or she fly into some power lines with those Zeiss glasses of hers.)

Well she has all that foundation loot to spend on ‘servants’ and make it appear that she needs flunkies to ‘function’ in her failed fantasy.

She really needs to find a hobby which does not include sedition. Knitting would be a good choice.

I remember Hitlery, in her arrogant and condescending way, questioning Trump about his accepting the results of the election. Ha!

She reminds me of the Duke and the Dauphin from “Huckleberry Finn.” Pretentious oafs who barely manage to evoke pathos, and certainly not respect.

Self-awareness in a candidate who loses is admirable.

Whining, blaming, pointing fingers away from oneself only reinforces the correctness of the results in the minds of both former opponents and former opponents.

Four Things by Henry Van Dyke

Four things a man must learn to do
If he would make his record true:
To think without confusion clearly;
To love his fellow man sincerely;
To act from honest motives purely;
To trust in God and Heaven securely.

Is it time for hill and bill to take the red pill?
They could take it on a hill
or take it near a mill.

Re: Hillary Rodham Clinton isn’t merely in a state of denial. She has become Bruce Willis in The Sixth Sense. Politically speaking, she is dead, but she doesn’t know it. Her staffers are so many Haley Joel Osments — too kind (and too attached to their salaries) to tell her that her career is over.

Great observation!

I recommend quilting. She certainly has PLENTY of fabric suitable for blankets and quilts.

Hillary covered for Bill all these years and all she got was NOTHING. That’s got to sting.

Has-Been Hillary

Probably better to be a "has-been" than a "never-was", but Shrillery isn't even a "has-been". All her life she has lived in the shadow and hung on the coat-tails of someone who "was", never really accomplishing anything on her own. Yes, she served a stint in the Senate where she accomplished exactly nothing (yes, she sponsored a bill to name some back-water post office...big deal), just warming another democrat seat and voting with the "herd" when the time came. Major Do-Nothing all her life.
