You are neglecting to mention the "next woman". Hillary was the one who had the worst abuse by men and by her political party. She was more experienced and qualified (for her party) than perhaps Michele Bachmann or Sarah Palin in many ways, yet she was trashed, humiliated, and left for gone by her party at that time. THAT was a real disgrace because Hillary had what it took to rise up in and survive national politics. To ignore that major slight of hand while focusing on the analysis and circumspection here seems to be either missing the obvious or staging the unobvious.
Sigh. Just when I thought I was out...they pull me back in.
OK. This should be easy:
When Sarah Palin or Michele Bachmann steals 900 FBI files to punish their enemies, I will defend Hillary Clinton.
When Sarah or Michele trash women who have been raped by their husbands, I will defend Hillary Clinton.
When Sarah or Michele makes $100,000 off cattle futures, I will defend Hillary Clinton.
When Sarah or Michele “drag a dollar bill through a trailer park,” I will defend Hillary Clinton.
When Sarah or Michele wins a senate seat because her husband cheated on her with an unpaid White Hosue intern, I will...
Well, I think you get the idea.
By the way, for those of you who are privately messaging me about Hillary’s woes, knock it off. I’m not going to defend her.
