"She was dazzled by Clinton’s social brilliance and gained a respect for him she had never had before."

You see, even this pig-headed broad came around to realizing what a wonderful president Clinton was.

Or at least that's the subtext I'm reading into this obit.

Respecting his undeniable social brilliance isn’t the same as ‘realizing what a wonderful president’ he was.

I have respect for some of Bill’s abilities as well, but I think he’s a bad guy who uses them for evil purposes.

That’s not it at all. She recognized his personal social skill which has always been highlighted. I find him smarmy but also now this “charm” helped get him elected.

Nah. I can have respect for someone’s talents, and dislike their art. Perhaps she was similar in that respect?
