Steyn really nails her, but look at the women who support her. Someone said on another thread the other day, that HRC should send shivers up their spine, if they have one. I can only assume that he meant the congress.

The woman is clever and she is cunning, but brilliant? I don't think so, just self-serving and evil. She sucks the air out of the room she is in and so many fear her.

I would call the Bush administration brilliant, because what it wants, it gets. It is a smooth, well-oiled machine that knows how to deal with Congress and how to compromise when needed, and hold the line when that's necessary.

You could say Hillary was brilliant in her tactics to grab power, but once she got it, she was a total loser. She staked her reputation on health care and it failed miserably. Can you name one real accomplishment of the Clinton Administration that she passionately supported?

Bill and Hillary lucked out in having a period of peace and prosperity in which to govern, but in terms of accomplishments I just don't see what they did. Bill dragged Hillary with him to the center, thanks to his own instincts, so some good bills were signed (such as "End Welfare as we know it"). But that's not the type of accomplishment they were dreaming of when they attained office.

I know they both worked very hard - much harder than Ronald Reagan or George W Bush. But they accomplished enormously less than either man.

When we have Presidents like Dubya and Reagan who have genuinely brilliant records, it's hard to have much sympathy for the Clintons, or think they are worthy of another shot at the Presidency.
