Now, if they'd just made EVERYBODY wear 20 lb. ankle weights, it would have been far more fair and equitable, wouldn't it, Miz Rodham?

Shades of the "handicaps" imposed on ordinary citizens to make everyone "equal" in the short story Harrison Bergeron there, hmmm?

Then she found out that all she was really qualified for was working in a whorehouse, but that didn't pay enough so she went into politics.

Aren't you being a little hard on the whores there, buddy? LOL

Other than that she was quite an athlete!

At least she's still a Yankees fan.

She also abandoned hopes of becoming a scientist or mathematician because she didn't have the best grades in those subjects.

The "smartest woman" in the world admits she's no so smart! Wasn't there a Talking Barbie a few years back that said "Math is hard" and all the feminists went crazy? In the interest of accuracy we now need to add that very line to Hillary's talking doll's vocabulary, sit back and wait for the feminists' reactions.
