She’s really smart.

Obama is not the first president she’s worked for.

She knows how to handle money — and crises.

Her fifth date was a bit unusual.

She engages in charity work.

Her neighbor inspires her.

Even Republicans have praised her.

She’s been running the budget office for the Kenyan? That’s good? The people in the state controlled “media” and John McCain need to lay of the recreational drugs for a while.

"She's really smart. She accidentally ran half a marathon."
Those are two incongruous sentences.

Attention suckers. She’s “really smart”, just like Hillary and Obama and the rest of our ruling elite are supposed to be. So shut up and eat your peas, all is well.

I can’t bring myself to click through, but did she score 18 holes-in-one on her first golf game? Was she divinely born on a mountain? Just like Dear Reader?

She went on a long bike ride once...and her neighbor inspires her because she learned how to use the internet.

This is national news?

Did they mention that she's really smart? Brilliant in fact, and she was the mastermind behind the government shutdown including the shutdown of the WWII memorials and all those national parks that never close because they have no gates.

All you need to know about her is that she is a blue-dress-wearing Clinton c@cks@cker from way back.

Hey, she’s also a well dressed, clean shaven kinda guy, just like Biden said of Obama and Michelle.

She’s really smart.

Such is the claim about every liberal.

Yet, they all do really stupid things.
