To reach the conclusion that Farrar does, you only have to count on two, hard-wired defects in the "character" of Hillary! He is right that she has the same characteristic as her husband -- lying comes naturally to her. But there is a second characteristic he doesn't mention -- her towering capacity for self-deception.
All people with the dictatorial mindset, and Hillary! is certainly one of those, surround themselves with toadies who assure them that everything they say and do is brilliant, just and successful. Absent such kowtowing, subordinates do not last long in the presence of the Dear Leader (excuse me, I meant to say, the Junior Senator from New York).
The net effect of this collective self-delusion is that Hillary! may disbelieve the hard evidence from many polls that she cannot win the election against President Bush. If she knows she can have the nomination, and believes she can win, then her ego will drive her into the race.
I point out one difference between Hillary! and Lady MacBeth. Lady MacBeth had a conscience, after the fact. With the blood on her hands, Lady MacBeth did say, "Out, out, damned spot." No evidence has ever been presented that Hillary! has any semblance of a conscience, at any time.
