Why Hillary Clinton, “The Smartest Woman in the World,” is a Dim Bulb

We had a co-president during the Clinton reign who was dubbed "The Smartest Woman in the World." No, it wasn't Bill; although considered intelligent, Bill didn't benefit from the application of that superlative.

Truth be known, Hillary Clinton's intellect was always over-estimated. If you want insight into her brainpower, you can ask the Clintons' erstwhile right-hand man Dick Morris. He'll tell you that she could double her I.Q. with one serving of fish. Well, actually, I say that, but he will certainly characterize her in none too flattering terms.

But I'll tell you what characterizes her intellect better than most anything else. There has been a lot of talk about how she damaged herself in the last Democrat debate, and her waffling on the subject of driver's licenses for illegal aliens especially stood out. She seemed to be for it; she "understood" it; being asked about it was "gotcha politics"; then, later, she seemed to be ... oh, my head is spinning.

Now, some have mentioned that she was obviously unprepared for the question. Unprepared? It was a no-brainer, meaning, even Lady MacBeth should have been able to answer it. But, OK, the informed among us know that she's at heart a socialist and is more than happy to facilitate illegal immigration. However, she's also a calculating political operator who is willing to say whatever she must to curry favor with the sheeple.

So here's my question: How is it that the smartest woman in the world couldn't figure out that 70 to 80 percent of the electorate (including most Democrats) recoil at the idea of giving invaders driver's licenses? It was a simple calculation. And she is so far ahead in the polls tracking the race for the Democrat nomination that she didn't have to worry about her hold on the radical left. All she had to do was boldly and unabashedly come out against such measures and she would have won hearts and minds in middle America. It would have helped her during the general election (assuming she wins the nomination) and would have even won over some Democrats who are currently supporting the other pretenders.

Anyway, if Hillary Clinton couldn't figure this out, how is she going to be able to figure out a way to combat Islamic jihad?

The smartest woman in the world? It's an insult to women everywhere.

RUSH: If she is so experienced, did you ever hear about her before 1992???

Funny one. I’ve already sent it to my ‘inner-group.’

[maxwellp]

Could it be she despises them because no matter what, most of them keep voting Democrat?

[cubreporter]

Thanks...I like it too and as you know...it is very true!

This was a very good point by the Great One.

After he said it I did a Google News Search for references to Hillary Clinton in the NYT before the end of 1991. There are 17 of them, including one op-ed and three or four which are probably mistakes (references to an Editor's Note). More than half are trivial references to her as Governor Bill Clinton's wife.

The woman is simply too unlikeable to be elected president...

I'm just hoping and praying that you've got that one right!

Ideally, she would be much too far to the left to be elected, but I'll be ecstatic if she is defeated regardless of why.

[justiceseeker93]

She's fine speaking from a prepared text, but has a tendency toward foot-in-the-mouth disease when she's forced to think quickly on her feet in public. Whatever this translates to in terms of lack of intelligence, this weakness will hopefully spell doom for her in the presidential election.

[justiceseeker93]

Speaking of her IQ, one thing is fairly certain:

If you suggested that she take an IQ test to prove how brilliant she is, she would balk at the idea and tell you that the test is gender biased.

Hillary Clinton is one of the meanest, nastiest, most arrogant, most fake, most dull, most uncharismatic people to ever run for President. Even if she becomes the democrat nominee in the general elections the majority of real voters will realize this many fatal flaws in her character at an early stage of the campaign and before they know anything about her socialist politics, her huge flips flops, and her extreme left wing stand on social issues. The majority of voters will be turned away by her horrible character, her very annoying unbearable to hear nasty and screeching voice, her bitc** laughter, and her scary wide open mean eyes. She cannot change her character no matter how hard she tries and the liberal media cannot cover it for her no matter how hard they try.

[jveritas]

I think the “Das Capital” of Marx is more fitting for the picture. Always our side need to avoid the Hitler/Nazi comparison when describing the left wing democrats such as Hillary Clinton, it is not a a politically winning comparison, but comparing them with communists is much more appropriate and true.

For those who missed Rush today:



RUSH:...The idea that she's running this disciplined campaign and so forth is falling apart. She's not a good candidate. Look, to understand this -- and I hate to be redundant -- but you've gotta go back and ask yourself a couple of really fundamentally simple questions. If her name were not Clinton would we even be talking about her as a presidential candidate? What in the world has she done, literally? What has she done? What are her qualifications? What has she done to unite the country? What has she done to motivate and inspire the country? What has she done in her career that will lead anybody to believe she's presidential? Nothing! It's just her turn. This is nothing more than a sop to her for bucking up Bill all these years and making sure he stayed viable. By the way, it's Bill's desire to stay in the White House, too, and get back in there for another eight years. Other than that, there's nothing. If her last name were Hillary Smith, nobody would even know her. We wouldn't even know her.

Now, you may think this is a put-down, but she's out there talking about 35 years of standing up for children, standing up for the poor. Did you ever hear about her before 1992? If she's got all these years of experience, I want to know how come the reputation didn't start until Bill starts seeking the White House in 1992. I'm saying that kind of campaign is one built on cards, not legitimacy, and to prop up an illegitimate candidate and candidacy, you need the henchmen who control the Democrat Party. You need a certain way of behaving so that you're not challenged, so that your inexperience and your unlikability are not on display all the time. That's why she's raising all this money to run propaganda commercials, which are going to be full of platitudes. Let me give you a better illustration of this, maybe not better, but a different one, different way of going about this. (cont.)

"Inevitable" Hillary Takes Big Hit; Too Divisive, Too Many Negatives

[ladyinred]

I am always asking people just how we know that both Clintons are so intelligent? The reason, the media tells us they are. They also tell us Bush is stupid. The horrendous duo don’t use brains, they use lies and manipulation and a biased media to do their bidding.

[ml/nj]

Don't sell Bill Clinton short. He is extremely intelligent. He is a master of unscripted situations, and he's had some pretty tough ones to deal with. Don't get me wrong. I think Castro is intelligent too.

Hillary on the other hand ...

...while Gore’s media whores practically photoshopped a halo above his head.

Actually it was lower. It was his “package” that was photoshopped.
