State emails offer glimpse into Hillary Clinton's world

“Secretary of Awesome”

The first two Clinton email releases from State made clear her top aides often gushed over her work.

More evidence surfaced Friday, including an exchange in which top Clinton aides praised their leader for her dance moves under the subject line: “Secretary of Awesome.”

The group of aides was emailing about a New York Magazine video of her dancing in Kenya.

“[S]he moves like a Sistah,” wrote Clinton adviser Minyon Moore. “This is fabulous.”

Mills forwarded the conversation to Clinton: “You shake your tail feathers girl.”

In an Aug. 3, 2009 email, Abedin told Clinton at 7:37 a.m. to “Wear a dark color today.”

“Maybe the new dark green suit. Or blue”

No explanation included.

And it looks as though Clinton also got schooled from Sidney Blumenthal on how to read the press. Blumenthal has come under scrutiny for sending Clinton unverified Libya intelligence, which she passed around to top staff even though he was barred by the Obama administration from working for her at State.

In a Nov. 29, 2009 email, Blumenthal asked Clinton if she read an article by The Washington Post’s Jim Hoagland in which “he nails [Denis] McDonough for trashing [Joe] Biden.”

But Clinton didn’t see the piece as mean-spirited: “I didn’t read the McD reference that way. I actually thought it was complimentary of his spin skills. What am I missing?”

“Wasn’t meant that way,” Blumenthal retorted. “Meant as sarcasm. Hoagland dislikes McD, thinks he’s a problem.” He later added: “McD v unpopular with key members of press was so incensed by his dealings that he nearly wrote a column on it. People collecting string. Hoagland chief among them.”

Huma tells the skank what to wear? What’s up with that?

What’s scary is the voters see their democrat candidates as gods just like their aids see them.

It’s “The Emperor’s New Clothes” all over again.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.
