As Hillary Clinton’s book tour chugs on around the US, two opinion pieces keep popping up. The first, which always appears under the headline “Hillary Clinton still doesn’t get it”, asks when this woman is going to shut up and why she is still blaming others for the election. The other, with equal frequency, demands: “Why do people keep telling Hillary Clinton to shut up?”, god forbid a woman should have an opinion.
Honestly, it’s exhausting, and at this point I have no idea which side to take, although it strikes me that the terms of the disagreement exactly mirror those that encumbered her candidacy. If Clinton hasn’t moved on, then neither has anyone else and that is the most depressing thing of all. As for her failure to “get it”, I imagine she doesn’t. There’s a good line in the New Yorker profile of Gloria Allred, which compares its subject, the most famous lawyer in the US and a divisive figure, with Clinton, who is her friend: “Each seems temperamentally incapable of absorbing the charge of self-interest, having woven self-interest together so tightly with an interest in the public good.”
What interests me about the attacks on Clinton is not how visceral they still are, but how they come from people who retain warm feelings for her husband. As far as I can tell, Hillary Clinton is no further to the right on any issue than Bill; in fact there’s an argument that her career-long focus on children’s rights and the family puts her somewhat to the left of him. And yet many of those who are happy to overlook Bill’s corporate speeches and the glad-handing with billionaires, hate his wife for just those reasons.

That's exactly why I hope she never shuts her pie hole. She is inflicting permanent damage onto the Democrats.

Where was Bill when Hillary was falling and being shoved into that van?
Bill has a sense of humor and is intelligent. Hillary is shrill.

Once again, cue up Pat Benatar’s “Victim.”
Male vs. female? Boy child vs. girl child? Or, a worthless media?
Well gee whiz Emma Brockes; do you think it might be HRC is one of the most detestable unlikable vile cretins to crave public attention on such a narcissistic scale not seen since, well, obama. Okay it hasn’t been that long but they are two peas of the same rotten pod. They don’t call her Hillary Rotten Clinton for nothing you know!
Emma, I get that you’re a femnazi trying to protect one of your own, but maybe, just maybe, you should find someone worth championing. The rotten one just ain’t worth it.
The difference is even though he’s an impeached face-biting rapist con man, Ole Bill likable.
Kankles on the other hand is the textbook definition of a B*tch with a capital B, and is the most unlikable woman on the face of the earh.
Because Hillary is fat?
Please tell me that’s photoshopped.
