She looks pretty intelligent to me (not even too blonde). Likely hiding a copy of the Constitution in her socks.
These two look fairly healthy too.

New York Sen. Hillary Clinton is blasting the Bush administration for the flu vaccine shortage, despite her own role in causing the crisis with her health care reforms in the 1990s.
"They're more interested in tax cuts for the rich than for flu shots for everyone who needs them," Clinton railed Monday afternoon at a press conference at New York's Ryan/Chelsea-Clinton Community Health Center.
"This administration has their priorities wrong," she added. "And we've really paid a big price for their negligence." But according to the Wall Street Journal, though Hillarycare as a whole crashed and burned in 1994, the former first lady was able to change the laws governing the manufacture of vaccines.
And the results have been disastrous.
During last fall's flu vaccine shortage, the Journal noted:
"The reason for today's shortage - as well as seven previous preventive vaccine shortages since 2000 - is that there are just five vaccine makers. This lack of suppliers is partly thanks to Hillary Clinton, who as first lady turned government into the majority buyer of vaccines and pushed prices so low as to make business unsustainable."
In July 2003 the Journal noted that the problem goes back to 1993, when Mrs. Clinton's "Vaccines for Children Program" was first implemented.
The vaccine crusade was being pushed at the time by Mrs. Clinton's Children's Defense Fund mentor Marian Wright Edelman - even though U.S. child vaccination rates in the early 1990s were considered relatively high by medical experts.
But that didn't stop Sen. Clinton and her "reformers." She pressured Congress to back her plan in a bid to make vaccines more available to poor, uninsured and underinsured children. In the process she turned the government into the major purchaser and distributor of vaccines.
Not only did Sen. Clinton's reform fail to result in any noticeable increase in childhood vaccination rates, it managed to drive down financial incentives for private companies to develop and produce vaccines.
A year after the Journal's report on Sen. Clinton's crusade, the number of manufactures producing flu vaccine has declined to just two.
New York's "Ryan/Chelsea-Clinton Community Health Center." So when did this happen? A new scam for the Clintons. They are now in to Health Centers. You can bet your bottom dollar that the taxpayers are getting soaked for this and somehow Chelsea is making alot of money on this "non-profit" Health Center. By the way who is Ryan and what only his first name?
If we only had blue ribbons for Best Remarks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"I'm not sure I understand your point, but posting a larger version of the picture might help us all."
Oh now you know, posting a larger version of the picture would help YOUR POINT. (((( ZING )))) Try to keep UP with me Junior.
Somebody earlier today on FR mentioned that with Bill having a rougher time recuperating than they'd expected, she's still running around attending concerts, etc.. She's already running for president. I suspect private polling numbers show Kerry worse off than we're being told.
If the Lady of the People is so concerned, why doesn't she dip into her millions, and get MamaT to dip into her billions, and buy some Canadian flu shots for everyone?
"I do have to admire how Democrats can seem to work together to form a well orchastrated smear campaign in order to achieve maximum volume."
Yeah um well, that only works since they pay so many homeless and crackheads with cash or drugs to be available for busing and photo op protesting. The rest of us have to work at real jobs for a living.
Not to burst your funny bubble, but Chelsea and Clinton are adjacent neighborhoods in Manhattan. Clinton used to be called Hell's Kitchen, but in the process of being gentrified, chose a more gentile name. Not sure about the Ryan...
Democrats are quick to accuse others of what they,
themselves, are guilty of.
Hillary shoots her own strawman.
I'd love to see a vaccine for her mouth.
You can bet your ASS two treasonous a-holes in Chappaqua got THEIR flu shots. Here's hoping a new strain hits these two blood-suckers!
Doesn't this just make you wish we owned a newspaper and could write about Her Shillness's role in all this?
"Hillary" is LARGELY RESPONSIBLE for our current vaccine Shortage, but She (& Her Ilk) would NEVER admit ANY "Responsibility!!"
Without "Hillary's Legislated Restrictions on Vaccine Manufacturers," there would be FAR MORE Vaccine Available!!
The REAL PROBLEM IS, We will NEVER Be Told that the "Supply Problem" is a Result of "ST. Hillary's Legislation!!"
The Main Stream Media are INCAPABLE OF Telling the American People "The Truth!!"
Doc
Interesting she's raised her ugly head above the radar. She's been keeping a very low profile otherwise for quite a while.
Hillary is the one who designed the program that has caused this shortage
Ha, the heck with the ribbons, that comment deserves an Oscar. I'm still laughing.
I am so upset at this, I can't even post what I'm thinking.
