I may be sick.

This must have taken place in an alternate universe.
Where the hell did she get that one? It's not in my dictionary.
Wow ... this "other woman" must have been some kind of prophet ... and maybe she had an aversion to black, crusty pant suits to boot!
Her whole life has been dedicated to being disrespectful by her own definition.
Huh?!! what the hell is this woman talking about?
Geee...what happened to 'feeling our pain'?? Why were the 'poor' no better off under the Clinton administration? Oh he got some off Welfare...they became the 'nation of hamburger flippers' Bubba said X41 planned to create.
Hillary is a terrorist.
Robert Treuhaft, a crusading radical lawyer who inspired his wife, Jessica Mitford, to write her best seller "The American Way of Death," died in New York on Nov. 11. He was 89.
[snip]
Robert Edward Treuhaft was born in New York on Aug. 8, 1912, the son of working-class immigrants from Hungary. His mother eventually came to run her own hat shop on Park Avenue; his father, a waiter turned bootlegger, became part owner of a Wall Street restaurant.Raised in the Bronx and then Brooklyn, Mr. Treuhaft won a scholarship to Harvard, where he studied law.
After working for the International Ladies Garment Workers Union in New York, Mr. Treuhaft was rejected by the Army on medical grounds at the start of World War II and went to work for the Office of Price Administration in Washington; there he met and fell in love with Miss Mitford.
The couple could scarcely have been more different in upbringing. She was one of the blue-blooded Mitford sisters, a daughter of Lord Redesdale and sister to Nancy, the novelist; to Diana, who married Sir Oswald Mosley, the British fascist leader; to Unity, one of Hitler's cronies; and to Deborah, who became Duchess of Devonshire.
Miss Mitford was recovering from the loss of her first husband, Esmond Romilly, Winston Churchill's nephew, who had been killed on a Canadian Air Force raid over Germany and with whom she had eloped to fight with the International Brigade in the Spanish Civil War.
Mr. Treuhaft and Miss Mitford were married in 1943; Miss Mitford accepted his proposal before he had finished making it. They moved to San Francisco, where Mr. Treuhaft started a radical law firm that specialized in fighting every kind of discrimination and social injustice.
Both joined the United States Communist Party and were frequently investigated and harassed by government officials; for many years they were denied passports, for example. But by 1958 they had grown disillusioned with Communism and left the party.

In 1971 he accepted a young Yale lawyer named Hillary Rodham (now Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton) as an intern.

Something tells me there was more to it than that.
It's almost as though my mother used to say, "I'll always love you but there are times when I certainly won't like you."
I can understand why Mother Roddam felt that way. Hillary's mother problem also provides some insight as to why she is the way she is.
Flo King got Hillary right. HRC brought all the old sorority girl mentality to radicalism. Emmett Tyrrell was also insightful writing about "coat and tie" student radicals, though too self-congratulatory about his own school days.
Hillary's against organization and in favor of spontaneity, but every thing has to be organized by committees and meetings. She wanted to fight the establishment, yet rise in it and be praised and patted on the head by its leading lights. There's that schoolgirlish or schoolboyish desire "to create a newer world," to turn everything upside down and hope something better will result from it.
Words have a funny way of trapping our minds on the way to our tongues but there are necessary means even in this multi-media age for attempting to come to grasps with some of the inarticulate maybe even inarticulable things that we're feeling.
Indeed. Hillary's mind is a hodgepodge of contradictory ideas. At times she's incoherent. . That's natural for the extemporaneous remarks, but it also turns up in what must be the prepared part of the speech. "Collective group" stands out: a collective is a group and a group is a collective.
Through it all, there's schoolgirl romanticism and the unfulfillable longing for "authenticity" that was the bane of the 1960s and the 20th century in general. What is "authentic" is up for each individual to decide. And those individuals will change their minds on that subject many times. "Authenticity" is an excuse to overturn things, and after that's done, people and things won't be any more "real" or "authentic" than before.
We're searching for more immediate, ecstatic and penetrating mode of living.
Wiser minds will tell you that these aspirations can't be satisfied by politics.
"Everybody's young days are a dream, a delightful insanity, a sweet solipsism. . . . we live happily on credit. There are no obligations to be observed; there are no accounts to be kept. Nothing is specified in advance; everything is what can be made of it. . . . We are impatient of restraint . . . we readily believe . . . that to have contracted a habit is to have failed. These, in my opinion, are among our virtues when we are young; but how remote they are from the disposition appropriate for participating in the style of government I have been describing." -- Michael Oakeshott
