“grope” and Clinton in the same sentence makes me think of her husband.

Doesn’t really require an explanation. The woman has a violent, uncontrollable temper and because of it she shouuld never be president.

I would have beat you with the post but I kept getting the ‘service not availible’ screen. Then I had to check and see if it had posted or not. I hate to be responsible for posting that picture twice.

She has no experience as a diplomat.

This was a situation where there was a translator giving her the questions posed by the students and translating her answers. An experienced diplomat would know that a simultaneous translation puts a lot of pressure on the translator. In spite of the best of efforts sometimes a minor mistake like using the title Mr. instead of Ms. will slip in. An experienced diplomat knows the problem. If they hear something that confuses or appears to be insulting to them they will ask the translator to repeat it, which also buys them time to get their temper under control if they have in fact been insulted. If the "insult" was just a mistake on the part of the translator the translator will have a chance to fix it.

But no, she's a novice and acted like a novice, which just reflects the ineptitude of the whole clueless and/or malignant Obama regime.

Unintentional.

I’m sure none of the three would relish the prospect, at all.

“Bambi stole her presidential entitlement.”

Bingo.

And each passing day she realizes more and more that she will NEVER be the first female President of the United States.

But she just might live to see Sarah Palin be that.

The presidency was hers until the media took it from her and handed it to a bigger moron. Darn right she is mad.

Talk about pushing this scary woman’s hot button lol. The hilarious thing is I’m sure the Congolese kid was completely innocent with his question. Ah to be a fly on the wall in the Clinton home (when the Bill the First Black President is actually there too I mean). The jealousy and bitterness toward Obama must be driving them insane.

I’m trying to do long division in my head before the image coalesces and causes permanent damage.

Not hard to explain at all - she was a powerful Senator who had sway over policy decisions - and now she is a powerless lackey for her former opponent, and he is giving the plum assignments to others (including her “husband”).

Clinton is perfectly capable of doing his own groping. Oops - they are talking about Hillary. Sorry, my bad.

Easy - she’s a wacko nut-job with more issues than National Geographic!

Anyone who can fly off the handle THIS easy because of a perceived personal insult has NO business representing our country to others.

Like Krauthammer said last night, “ She’s in the Congo.......THE CONGO!!!!!”

Patreus is in Iraq. Holbrooke is in Afghanistan. Jim Jones is in Washingtonand she’s.......... in THE CONGO!!!!!

The beast does not like being marginalized.
