FORMER US SECRETARY of State and First Lady Hillary Clinton has been conferred with an honorary doctorate from Trinity College Dublin.
Clinton was one of five people recognised for what the college calls “their contribution to society”.(snip)
Professor Anna Chahoud’s oration this afternoon paid tribute to Clinton’s life’s work:
“Almost 66 million people have given her their vote of confidence, sharing her belief that a true democracy is a society in which everyone is equally valued as a human being, from infancy to old age, irrespective of gender, status or nationality; it is a society in which women have the power to effect a transformative change towards development, justice, and peace.”
The award of the degree came against the backdrop of two protests outside the college against Clinton receiving the honour. Councillor Éilis Ryan of The Workers’ Party said that Clinton’s role in “promoting war should be reason enough to deny her this honour”.
“She advocated a war in Iraq which cost half a million lives, led the bombing of Libya which left a chaotic vacuum behind that has been filled by a return to human slavery, and promoted and facilitated a coup in Honduras which led to the murder of many progressive, female political activists.”

Blast from the past! And no small coincidence that it’s by POTUSA, lol.
One of the young PhD I used to work with had a good sense of humor about that. He used to say it meant Post hole Digger.
Hillary is one of the best friends al-Qaeda jihadists ever had with her promotion of war in Libya and Syria.
Ahem, Hussein was a big fan of post-birth abortion.
