WASHINGTON — As a young lawyer for the Watergate committee in the 1970s, Hillary Rodham caught a ride home one night with her boss, Bernard Nussbaum. Sitting in the car before going inside, she told him she wanted to introduce him to her boyfriend. “Bernie,” she said, “he’s going to be president of the United States.”

Mr. Nussbaum, stressed by the pressure of that tumultuous period, blew up at her audacious naïveté. “Hillary, that’s the most idiotic” thing, he screamed. She screamed back. “You don’t know a goddamn thing you’re talking about!” she said, and then called him a curse word. “God, she started bawling me out,” he recalled. “She walks out and slammed the door on me, and she storms into the building.”

“She may have been critical from time to time with temper tantrums and things like that,” said Mr. Nussbaum, who went on to become Mr. Clinton’s first White House counsel. “But she was very strong, and he needed her desperately. He would not have been president, I don’t think, without her.”

And we don't want either of you near the oval office...

Hillary Clinton’s History as First Lady: Powerful, but Not Always Deft, and always DAFT

[jwalsh07]

Yup. Daft 100% of the time.

[Fai Mao]

And,cif she’d married John McCain would he have been president?

[samtheman]

...a more nuanced portrait ...

Nuanced? I don't see anything nuanced. I see a liar, a scoundrel, a muslim-lover, a jew-hater and a leftist conspirator. There's nothing NUANCED. She's 100% bad 100% of the time.

[Talisker]

Geez, where’s the barf alert?

The NYTs needs to wipe its chin.

[Dalberg-Acton]

She has already server two terms as “co-President” and isn’t eligible to run again.

[hal ogen]

President??????? This criminal needs to be held to account for her many crimes. Prison.

[Oldexpat]

Somehow she must be stopped. We just don’t need this evil person in the WH along with her philandering husband who will certainly embarrass us and her.
How is it possible that this shrew can be considered a candidate is beyond me.

[txnativegop]

not when splitting legalistic hairs, she’s a lib, she can
as often as she wants and win whenever she wants. /s

[BenLurkin]

During the 92 election, it was algore that was promised as co-president .

It was only after The Grifters moved in that Al found out that (and the voters) had been bamboozled.

More DAFT then Deft!

[Jim Noble]

Somehow she must be stopped

She's not even going to be nominated, much less be President.

[txrefugee]

No doubt Jezebel was seen as a strong woman and the force behind King Ahab, but no one names daughters “Jezebel.”

[Chad N. Freud]

Two libs scream at each other, and one resorts to curse words, rather than discuss something. Surprising.

[TigersEye]

Name one thing Hillary has done that she hasn’t screwed up.

[elcid1970]

The Flying Buttress will never be our Preezy.

[TigersEye]

From your keyboard to God's monitor!

[MrEdd]

She was too always daft...
