“The next day, Clinton’s slightly rattled machine played the gender card, describing the way she’d been piled into by her rivals as a classic case of six men attacking a woman. She sent out a fundraising letter complaining about the “pile-on”. Yes, Clinton is a feminist until she gets into trouble and then she plays the wounded woman card. It’s not a new schtick, of course. She was a feminist until she had the chance to run for office in the 1980s and chose to coopt political power via her husband first.”
THE best description of what happened last week I have seen.
Herself the First of Charlatan has a see-through Pants Suit.
All of this crap is designed to sell newspapers with improbable headlines when it does not matter what they say. It is a year out from the election. No one is paying attention. You will not hear a word about this next summer and fall. No matter how badly Mrs. Clinton buggers up a debate when it counts, you can count on every network news station and every newspaper of note (except the WSJ) to trumpet how well she did and how she is a sure winner.
From another article on Hillary in today’s London Sunday Times:
If her opponents play tough, she can shrink and look like the intimidated woman beset by brutal men. If they treat her with kid gloves - all gallant forbearance and courtly deference - she can open up a can of whoop-ass on them as eagerly as a dockside bully.
