NY Times Says Even Hillary's Fans Are 'Flailing' In Attempt to Tout Her Achievements at State
NewsBusters ^ | 5-17-14 | By Tim Graham

Posted on 05/17/2014 10:32:19 PM PDT by kingattax

Via The Right Scoop, we noticed that young New York Times reporter Nicholas Confessore – a veteran of the liberal opinion journal The Washington Monthly – thinks Hillary Clinton has a resume problem on her way to the White House, and it’s not Benghazi, exactly.

On MSNBC’s Jansing & Co. Friday, he said “I actually think that the real thing they have to overcome, the question everyone’s asking is ‘What was her biggest accomplishment as Secretary of State?’And you know, I just see flailing on this question, from her own supporters, I don’t see any good answer, or at least a solid, strong answer. It’s sort of surprising to me.”

She got drunk and fell down more than any previous Secretary of State.

Don’t think FDR, think Wilson. Wilson had a stroke and it was his wife running the White house for an extended period. In Hillary’s case it will be Bill running the place.

” their media strategy in motion: simply ASSERT that Hillary was the greatest SOS ever...”

You are close. They won’t claim the greatest SOS ever, as she has no positive or significant accomplishments there. The way they will spin it is she will be one of the most experienced candidates ever - First lady for 8 years as co-President helping our beloved Bill to usher in one of the longest eras of peace and prosperity ever, elected as US Senator in her own right, Sec’y of State, blah blah blah...

chris37 nailed the reality - Her greatest achievement is “that she married a dude who diddled a fat chic in the oval office...she would be nowhere and no one would give a flying crap about her.” Her stand-by-your-man-fake-act and all the other lies (like she only learned the truth one morning shortly before Bill came clean to the American people) allowed the press to create for her a person deserving sympathy. Until then, she was not generally liked by the average person. She is definitely politically beatable on so many fronts.

Watch as Hillary yucks it up about Gaddafi's death. Video at link.

We Came, We Saw, He Died

Granted, Gaddafi wasn't a saint, but really, a SOS laughing about it?

So President Wilson was incapacitated for a long time and had his wife actually running things during that period, Hmmmmm. That makes Bills push to get Hillary in the White House ‘as is’ all that more ominous. Remember that movie ‘reversal of fortune’ about the heiress Sunny Bulow? Sunny became an invalid and one day the poor thing ‘never quite woke up’ from her nap.

Absolutely, they will tout Hillary’s “experience”, with many citations of quantity (miles traveled, meetings attended, world leaders met) to distract from the lack of quality (results). It fits perfectly with a Marxist concept of value, wherein “labor” creates all value, without regard to the product.

The “experience” angle has some danger for Hillary, since her experience has never turned out well. Does she want to remind people about HillaryCare, ObamaCare failed mama (the latter created mostly by Hillary acolytes)? The Russian Reset fiasco? Lying about the “vast right wing conspiracy” that was lynching innocent Bill who DID NOT diddle that woman, Miss Lewinsky, only to have the truth break loose? Etc.

But I was not prognosticating. Check out the hurlsome worship below from freerepublic.com/focus/frnews/3156427/posts:

“Join us for a conversation discussing the crises, choices, and challenges she faced during her four years as America’s 67th Secretary of State, and how those experiences drive her view of the future.

Hillary Rodham Clinton served as the 67th U.S. Secretary of State from 2009 until 2013, after nearly four decades in public service. Her “smart power” approach to foreign policy repositioned American diplomacy and development for the 21st century. Clinton played a central role in restoring America’s standing in the world, reasserting the United States as a Pacific power, imposing crippling sanctions on Iran and North Korea, responding to the Arab Awakening and negotiating a ceasefire in the Middle East.
