My late mother-in-law used to say of anything that tasted good to her," It's just like from the can." It made us all laugh, but she was seriously unable to distinguish between good food and pap. Frankly, that's what I think of the efforts by AP, Larry Sabato and others to suggest that Hillary's role in Friday's hostage crisis reveals she is a leader. It debases real leadership with the ersatz, highly salted and laced-with-preservatives stuff.

From AP: “the picture of calm in the face of crisis”.
Give Me A Break!! This is what dems — and Hillary — consider a CRISIS???
How much “leadership” and “courage” does it take to stay calm when she was in Virginia, what, 1000 miles away from the scene, and she STILL cancelled her scheduled appearance? Move over, John Wayne!
And let’s not forget the universal criticism from the dems on 9/11 when Bush didn’t immediately fly back to DC into the middle of the attack.
Well, with her staff hostage, I’d expect her to cancel all appearances..It’s just that all the rest of this puffery is absurd.
IMHO, the event was extended so as to increase the visibility of the Clinton Campaign. I suspect that Hillary was on the phone to all of the authorities warning them not to end it too soon or there would be hell to pay.
As this whole sorry episode played itself out you knew the MSM would make her look like Joan of Arc, In reality she did nothing to cause this out come. What a bunch of BS. The thought of Hillary and Bill being in the White House makes me ill.
Expect more theatre and theatrics from Clinton Plantation Inc. and their Hollywood Connection, with matching raving reviews by the MSM, in order to boost her “tough and cool” image.
She could be the new Steve McQueen...
The image, broadcast just as the network news began, conveyed the message a thousand town hall meetings and campaign commercials strive for - namely, that the Democratic presidential contender can face disorder in a most orderly manner.
Just imagine how this piece might've read if it had been, for example, a Mitt Romney HQ.
Or, for that matter, a Joe Biden HQ.
Had to look that one up. Thank goodness for the Urban Dictionary.
It says a lot about a candidate when people suspect their every motive—and even among registered (D) voters many distrust the candidate and doubt their religious sincerity.
