What’s Hillary Clinton’s Problem?
Accuracy in Media ^ | April 1, 2008 | Joan Swirsky

Posted on 04/02/2008 8:42:27 PM PDT by Old Lady

Newspaper articles and TV specials have made most people familiar with the psychiatric disorder called Munchausen-By-Proxy, in which a person (usually a woman) or a parent (usually the mother) makes herself or her child sick – by poison, overmedication, smothering, etc. – and then reports the dire symptoms to authorities, thereby garnering the attention and sympathy she craves, as well as heroine status for “saving” herself or her child. When this bizarre pattern of behavior is observed over time – by family members, friends, psychiatric professionals – and they confront her with evidence of her pathological behavior, she invariably has one response: They are lying! Sound familiar? Then there is the psychiatric disorder known as pathological lying, which is the compulsion of disturbed people to resort to lies rather than truth, the better to compensate for their feelings of inferiority....[cut to below]

DIAGNOSIS? As the presidential campaign on the Democrat side evolves – or, in my opinion, devolves – there is ample evidence that Hillary has a few screws loose, if not a few bolts.

This is a fantastic article — unfortunately, I could not excerpt the good parts.

The Clintons have severe psychological problems. The country doesn’t deserve more narcissism.

If you’re going to ask that question, please do so earlier in the day when I have sufficient time to respond.

Interesting analogy, since Hillary got caught up in a real Munchausen’s-by-proxy case during her First Ladyhood, when touting her infamous health care plan. Hillary used a little girl who’d been devastated by serious illnesses all her life as an example of why national health coverage was necessary, posing with the girl and her mother in some publicity shots. Turned out the little girl’s mother had been making her sick all along, doing things like injecting feces into her IV line, poisoning her at home, etc. She got well as soon as doctors figured this out and got her mother away from her.

Whats Hillary Clintons Problem?

Other than serial mendaciousness?

Well, Hillary appears to be not particularly bright while simultaneously exhibiting an arrogant and vicious persona laced with verbal cackles and visual cankles.

Hillary isn't an April fool. She's an April psychopath.

Indeed. She and Billyboy each score about the level of incarcerated felons, around 30 based on information in the public domain and not refuted or discredited. Regular Bonnie and Clyde the liberals have been in bed with lo these many years. Now they are shocked, shocked! to discover that their heroes are lying scum. Just like all we normal people have recognized from the outset.

Hillary is screwing up her chance to have a possible Democrat President nominate her to the Supreme Court.

This is a great thing, but she is making herself lose all credibility and gaining lots of new enemies everywhere.

In the end, Hillary will lose the race, pretty much most of her influence and there is no way she would run as a VP.

Put a fork in her.

A sociopath with borderline personality would cover it all. Can you imagine someone with those problems as President?

There were rumors that the Democrat party offered Hillary the next position if she would retire from the race.

If Obama somehow won the election, I think he would most certainly place her there.

BUT, now that she has made a huge ass out of herself, I don't see how she could survive the process even if it had a majority of Democrats running it.

A further irony is that now Shillary is saying that Obama cannot win in the general election..She is projecting her own unelectability upon her opponent and that indeed is pathetic...bad for her, for her opponent and for her party..I can never remember an election where one candidate said outright of another in their own party that the other candidate is unelectable..Then again she and husband don’t go by the rules...

Hacked but accurate. A real kitchen sink assault on the Beast. Notice the reference to “over-weaning [sic] ambition.”

Do you actually think Republicans would approve that appointment? There would be riots in the streets.
She is not qualified for such a position.
