Americans, Gallup tells us, admire Hillary Clinton more than any other woman in the world -- again. This latest accolade marks the 17th time Gallup has found Clinton to be the Most Admired Woman (MAW?) since she became first lady nearly 20 years ago. Only Eleanor Roosevelt (13 MAWs) comes close. Only Mother Teresa (1995 and 1996) and Laura Bush (2001) have interrupted Clinton's winning streak, and even then, Clinton came in second.
And therein lies America's cosmic flaw. A country that could time and again embrace Hillary Clinton as its MAW has lost its mind or its memory or both.
Does the phrase "congenital liar" tinkle any bells? I know such non-admirable sentiments are thought to be in the worst of taste, if not also banishable offenses. Still, as conjured by the late New York Times columnist William Safire in 1996, the phrase described the then-first lady for her shameless prevarications. These included what sure looked like bribery ("cattle futures"), defrauding taxpayers ("Whitewater"), obstructing justice -- or, rather, "finding" her Rose Law Firm billing records (under subpoena for two years) just days after the statute of limitations ran out -- among other corrupt behaviors that must have slightly suppressed Hillary-admiration that same year. The phrase remains apt.
"I remember landing under sniper fire," Clinton declared on the presidential campaign trail in 2008, describing a 1996 trip to Bosnia. "There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down (chuckles) to get into the vehicles to get to our base." It was a vivid but debunkable whopper, as CBS footage of the event proved. In reality, Clinton, accompanied by daughter Chelsea, made her ceremonial way into Bosnia through a warm throng marked by smiling faces and a kiss from a local girl -- not bullets. Admirable?
On a more nationally significant level, Clinton recently supported President Obama's Big Lie that a movie trailer of "Innocence of Muslims" on YouTube "resulted" (her word) in the September attack on the U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya -- a concerted falsehood for which neither Clinton nor Obama nor former CIA Director David Petraeus has yet answered. Even several days after intelligence agencies determined that a planned assault, not a video-driven protest, had taken place, Clinton went so far as to promise a grieving Charles Woods, father of slain former SEAL Tyrone Woods, that "we" were going to have the video maker "arrested and prosecuted."
Why was Clinton still perpetuating the false narrative that the exercise of free speech under the First Amendment, not Islamic jihad, had resulted in the attack? Was that admirable? Clinton has lately let it be known that she will voluntarily testify about Benghazi following her hospitalization for a blood clot, but I seriously doubt whether mere House members will risk asking this crucial question of the Most Admired Woman in America, especially now that she has risen from her sickbed. If they don't, they're not admirable, either.
Meanwhile, the video maker, Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, was indeed arrested and swiftly prosecuted, and is now serving one year in jail for "parole violations." His incarceration, however, is better understood as punishment for violating the Islamic ban on free speech about Islam. To be sure, one year is nothing compared to the death penalty an Egyptian court recently slapped on Nakoula and other Americans associated with the movie in absentia -- and without a peep of protest from the Obama administration, including Clinton.
The fact is, Hillary Clinton has worked assiduously with the Islamic bloc nations, known as the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), to promote Islamically correct speech codes through the so-called Istanbul Process. The goal of this process -- and the goal of transnational Islam -- is to implement Shariah speech codes via U.N. Human Rights Council Resolution 16/18, which seeks to criminalize "defamation" -- free speech -- about Islam. In leading this drive against free speech, Hillary Clinton is actually leading a drive against the First Amendment.
Most Americans don't know about the Istanbul Process, let alone how Islamic speech codes are unconstitutional, but it is this policy against free speech that may stand as Clinton's enduring legacy as secretary of state. It is of a piece with having presided over, first, the shredding of U.S. alliances with Egypt's Hosni Mubarak and Libya's Moammar Gadhafi and then supporting jihadist factions and organizations, such as the Muslim Brotherhood, now implementing Islamic law across the Middle East. This, of course, is President Obama's policy, but Hillary Clinton has been an active team player.
Another aspect of this same foreign policy Clinton has spearheaded is the launch of the Global Counterterrorism Forum. The forum's roster of 29 nations plus the European Union is stunning for its exclusion of Israel, a leading counterterrorism force as much as it is a leading terrorism victim. But not so, according to Islamic definitions. Knowingly or not, as a leader of this forum, one-third of whose members come from the Islamic bloc, Clinton has accepted the Arab League and OIC definitions of terrorism, which both deny the existence of Israeli victims (sometimes U.S. soldiers) and legitimize the terrorism of Hamas, a wing of the Muslim Brotherhood, and Hezbollah.
How could this be? What influences have led Clinton to formulate or follow such policies? We don't know, although it is hard not to wonder about the input of top Clinton aide Huma Abedin, a young woman with well-established familial and personal ties to Muslim Brotherhood figures and front groups (including a "charity" linked to al-Qaida and a group banned in Israel for ties to Hamas). Indeed, what may be most astounding and mysterious about Clinton's whole public tenure is how Abedin ever received the security clearance necessary to work so closely with the secretary of state.
Even broaching such a simple if burning national security question, as Rep. Michele Bachmann and others discovered last summer, is also a banishable offense. After all, Hillary Clinton is our MAW!
That's life. But it isn't admirable.
The notion that Ms. Clinton's given name was inspired by the man who conquered Everest was a blatant lie told for who-knows-what-reason (as many critics have noted, Edmund Hillary didn't become world-famous until six years after Hillary Rodham was born).
Even Snopes cannot spin this big lie, although they try to cover for Hillary as Snopes.com is a left wing site.
You’ve put into words what I’ve been trying to say. You nailed it exactly! They are the right people at the right time....in this day of people being dumber than a box of hair and react with feelings instead of dealing in facts as to how politicians can pull the wool over their eyes by making them think they’re more concerned with your problems than you are and all the while doing things that will only enrich themselves at the idiot admirers expense. This country was on the road to hell in a handbasket and those like the Clintons just sped up the process.
Lets put it this way: You can’t believe anything a liberal says, because as everyone knows or should know, lying comes natural to them
Or the lie about where Chelsea Clinton was the AM of 9/11.
Hillary claimed Chelsea was jogging in lower Manhattan near the WTC shortly before the first aircraft hit WTC 1.
Fact was, Chelsea was in NYC (no where near the WTC) staying with a girlfriend in her apartment. Her friend called Chelsea from work and told her to turn on the TV ... an aircraft had crashed into the WTC.
It was Chelsea who cleared up the misinformation/lie.
FMCDH(BITS)
Historical BTTT!
It’s not just the msm that covers for these scum.
You don’t think the secret service is and was aware of the blow ol billy boy was doing?
All the killing that’s been done in their name etc?
You have no idea the battles Peter and I have fought against her in court and otherwise. HILLARY! UNCENSORED probably kept her from the Democratic nomination in 2008 and from the White House. We hope the film and the evidence will have an impact when resurrected in 2016. He made a business decision to help Stan Lee Media and had paid no attention to politics. They turned on him, destroyed the business, and destroyed his family. No one caused her more grief in her campaign for the White House than did Peter.
Yeah, I can understand you not having any sympathy for 3 kids under 10, one of whom has autism, and who are almost out on the street. Besides your violin, your heart got a little smaller.
Half-wits in this country knew not to get into bed with those leeches back when Bill was still schtupping Gennifer....
I WILL hope & pray for all innocent kiddies caught in the grown-ups drama. That includes your kiddies and whatever bastard younguns’ came out of Arkancide Billy.
Still, it was YOU ADULTS making decisions to go into business with those monsters...Don’t pull that “for the kiddies” crap on me. Grown ups too stupid & greedy deserve what they get. The fact that your kids are dragged into it...well, that’s YOUR fault. Your team hopped into bed with the Devil...don’t screech at me when your coochie is scorched over and over. YOU screwed over your family, and no one else.
Before you think I’m a meanie...yes, I can be.
But I have no doubt, from seeing your pics & vids, you are at least my age. I never sold out to those turds. You aren’t going to get a lot of sympathy here. Why did you think casting your lot with evil would make your life better, or make yourself a sympathetic figure here?
When did truth become anathema to you?
PS...I’m sure you & Stan Lee are having fun trying to get your money back. Way different than getting your honor back. Get your heads straight, and you’d have an army here helping you work toward that goal...
I have never seen you post before but my first impression is that you are every bit as much as a *itch as Hillary.
How is this in capital letters?
STFU!
re previous post.... oh, you have only been here since 2009, not 2006
Ditto. I always envisioned she and Bill sharing a cell on Alcatraz and making it a tourist attraction to raise money. I would have paid $100+ to visit.
Ahh, the memories. This was such a labor of love. 30 episodes of THE REAL HILLARY CLINTON -

Doug from upland NEVER was in bed with the Clintons, and NEVER supported them in any way.
Quite frankly, you need to just knock it off, because your ignorance is showing. Your shrill screeching is not only factually out of whack, but it is annoying.
Doug is a legend here on FR, because he is a long term enemy of the Clinton’s and actually risked his money and his safety to fight them.
Which is much more than you have ever done, or have even imagined you have done.
You owe him an apology.
The Juanita Broaddrick Chapter in Hillary’s Book (ghostwriter — DFU)
DFU | 4-2003 | dfu
Posted on Monday, April 28, 2003 7:52:21 PM by doug from upland
Hillary Rodham Clinton has finished her book. It will hit the bookstores soon. Unfortunately, she did not do a chapter on Juanita Broaddrick. If any of your friends actually buy her work of fiction, please give them this additional chapter to read. Someone had to do it, and I was glad to be of service.
(SUPPLEMENTAL CHAPTER - ghostwriter Doug from Upland)
I never wanted to write this (expletive deleted) chapter, but the (expletive deleted) at the publishing company told me I would have to give back all the money. So, here we go.
Bill grew tired of me very quickly. When Chelsea was born, I once heard him singing that he wanted a d-i-v-o-r-c-e. He really is a selfish (expletive deleted), but I needed him to get where I wanted to go. Oh, well, I have gotten by with my sex toys, an occasional fling with a female, and some good times with Vince. I sure do miss him.
Two things worried me during the 1992 campaign. One was Juanita Broaddrick and the other is a woman I will not reveal. The second was a rape victim of my husband during his first term of governor. I still worry that she will come forward.
After serving as attorney general, we had discussed running for Senate in 1978. David Pryor was planning his second run, and the field for the Democratic nomination included Jim Guy Tucker and Ray Thornton. Pryor actually convinced Bill to go for the governorship, although the Senate really was our first choice. With info we had gathered from the office of the attorney general, we could have dirtied up anyone who posed a challenge to us.
Juanita Broaddrick. What can I say? She almost kept us out of the White House and almost got Bill convicted in the Senate.
Broaddrick had volunteered to work on Bill’s campaign after an earlier meeting at her care facility. Bill handed her some load of crap about how he was really concerned with care facilities such as hers. Like most people, she fell for it.
It was an April day that I remember vividly. It was a day that almost destroyed everything. I got word from someone who was spying on Bill for me. Yes, I knew he would screw anything that walked, but as long as he was my meal ticket to power, I was determined not to get off the gravy train. In this case, however, the report hit me right in the gut. He assaulted and hurt Broaddrick. What in the hell was he thinking?
I dropped what I was doing and without knocking stormed into a strategy meeting of Larry Nichols, whom I never trusted, and Raymond “Buddy” Young. Young knew better than to ever cross me.
“You’ll never guess what the (expletive deleted) has done now,” I screamed. “He tried to rape some bitch.” I knew it was more than a try and had no doubt that he did it. But I just couldn’t say it.
So I looked at Nichols and Young and said to them that one of them had better squash this (expletive deleted) story or heads were going to roll. They knew I was serious.
Broaddrick’s marriage (she was known as Hickey at the time), I had discovered, was over. She was seeing another man whom would later become her husband. I knew she was in a precarious position. It was 1978 in Arkansas. A very powerful man in a one-party state has assaulted her. He was a popular attorney general. Even if she had come forward, who would believe her? The double whammy was that she would get no strength from her husband because their relationship was over.
A few weeks later, I was not surprised to see Broaddrick attend a campaign event to which she had committed. She was very important in the campaign, had all the campaign materials, and would not have a good enough excuse for her husband as to why she couldn’t attend. No matter what sickness she may have feigned, she had to be there.
On the way to the event from the airport, I told the driver that Bill had talked so much about Juanita and that I was so anxious to meet her.
When I got there, I wasted no time. I entered the room, headed directly for her, and grabbed her hand. My memory is flawless, and I remember every detail about everything. Too bad for the fools from Ken Starr’s office that “I can’t recall” is just a lawyer’s ploy. Those idiots were putty in my hands.
I thanked Juanita for everything she has done for Bill. But I didn’t let go. I drew her closer to me and looked at her with as cold a stare as I could muster. “Everything you do for Bill,” I repeated. Judging by the look on her face, I could tell she was frightened, shaken, and definitely got the message. In very short order, she left the event. Broaddrick was taken out of play that night as an obstacle. But in 1992, I still had some worries.
Fortunately, the right wing Clinton haters did not have Broaddrick come forward sooner. It would have sent us back to Arkansas, resulted in a divorce, and sent me to greener pastures. At least on the bright side, I would have been able to get away from the lowlife hicks in that pathetic state. Ma and Pa kettle can kiss my ass.
When the Paula Jones case was not settled, I went ballistic. I had told the (expletive deleted) attorneys to quietly settle this without an apology and make it go away. But the (expletive deleted) idiots could not even do that simple task. It takes a (expletive deleted) village to settle a case I guess.
If it were necessary, I would have paid Jones a hundred grand to go away. Hell, we could have gotten that from Lassater and Tyson.
When Bruce Lindsey convinced her counsel that a simple affidavit would keep her out of court, I thought the problem was solved. Rape is traumatic. She didn’t want to relive it in public. She certainly didn’t want to be grilled under oath, subsequently reading salacious headlines in the Enquirer, Star, (expletive deleted) Washington Times, and Wall Street Journal. It really was a good way out for her.
But the plan all turned to (expletive deleted) when we discovered that Broaddrick was going to be called in the Jones case. Phillip Yoakum and other yahoos had pushed this (expletive deleted) story and were determined to destroy us. I confronted Lindsey. He took an ashtray to the side of his head because he let this thing get out of hand.
It was a horrible time for me. I couldn’t sleep. Bill could even hear me from his bedroom asking Eleanor Roosevelt for help. What would NOW do? They didn’t like us trashing women in public but pretty much had been AWOL in this whole thing. Their big mouths could be damaging if they turned against us. Fortunately, we gave them taxpayer money, I had certain info in FBI files, and Bill’s strong abortion stand got them to take a dive for us. I sometimes daydreamed, picturing the face of several NOW leaders on the body of Roberto Duran saying “No mas.”
Lindsey and I had many late night meetings to discuss keeping a lid on this thing. Just like we did to others who might turn on us, we had a plan of attack to go after Broaddrick’s credibility and lessen her impact. If things had reached meltdown, we even had discussed calling in Terry Lenzner and arranging an “accident.” He was of great help in 1992. No one can intimidate witnesses like Lenzner. Broaddrick was fortunate indeed that Trent Lott kept her away from a national television audience in front of the Senate. I could not let that happen.
By the way, I want to issue a few warnings to a few people who are still a pain in my butt. David Schippers, I am pretty damned tired of hearing you speak about me in public and in that silly little book your wrote. When I make it back to the White House, you are going to pay.
And to you sitting in front of your keyboard in Fresno, California. Yes, you, Jim Robinson. You are going to pay dearly before I am finished. Count on it.
So that, ladies and gentlemen, is how a rapist managed to survive in office. I am damned good at what I do. It is so easy to get really foolish little people and intellectuals to stick with us. Perky Katie Couric has been one of our greatest assets and shills. How funny. She still calls herself a “jounalist.” What a sense of humor.
And how about that Joe Conason. I doubt that there has ever been a more loyal buttboy.
Here is the lesson we have taught to everyone. (Expletive deleted) with me and you will be the one who gets (expletive deleted).
SIN is a reproach to any Nation.
Kill off 48,000,000 unborn humans since 73 and I wonder why it's taken THIS long to finally catch up to us!!
You might ask Israel...
You nailed it!
Good stuff; as always.
