I agree but politics produce strange bedfellows. Hillary I’m sure has been promised something.

While I'm sure she has been promised something, and Bill as well, I must point out that the "politics makes for strange bedfellows" remark was coined by Charles Dudley Warner who lived between 1829 and 1900 -- long before feminism, when politics was expected to be a rough, manly mud wrestle.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

But in view of Hillary's feminist protestations, she is the "hollow man" here. Feminists were supposed to create an ethic of cooperation, usher in an era of peace, work through the system to change the old boys' ways of doing things, make a kinder world, blah, blablablahhhh, etc. Yet she seems only too willing to let herself be abused and then play the victim card in order to play with the boys. That's why as a society we have drawn the line at women in combat; because we are not willing for women to be tortured or raped if captured.

She is indeed pathetic.

Maybe AG, but can you imagine a bar flunkie on the SCOTUS?
I don’t think she will go there. She has gotten GOOD at politics.
