Halperin: Hillary 'Great Public Servant, Extraordinarily Strong Candidate'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/17/2015 5:59:45 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

You know those super-fast-talking disclaimers run at the end of some ads? The kind of CYA things the lawyers force the advertisers to say? That's what Mark Halperin's pro forma praise of Hillary on today's Morning Joe brought to mind.

Halperin first ripped Hillary's campaign as the most "unresponsive to basic questions" he's ever dealt with, and reported that "elite Democrats" are worried about being stuck with scandal-ridden Hillary as their candidate. But Halperin apparently felt obliged to include this bit of posterior-protecting pablum: "she's still an extraordinarily strong candidate, she's a great public servant. She's, I think, right now, the most likely person to be elected president."

Hillary a “great public servant?” Maybe in Uzbeki-beki-beki-bekistan.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

she's a great public servant.

She and Bill went from being worth zero when they started out in "public service" to about a quarter of a billion today. Whom, exactly, were they serving?

Halperin isn’t an objective member of the media; he’s a fan. Seriously, this article could be a sports blog written by a Cubs fan talking about how his favorite team needs to get another starter, improve the bullpen and swap the shortstop and second base to get to the world series. Then he finishes by telling all his fellow fans to cheer on the team and he’s sure they will win this year.

(Hey, I’m familiar with this mentality. I’m a Cub fan.)

Translation: “We know you’re a criminal and we don’t care, you’re one of ours”

Seig heil, Mark. The press should really wear uniforms.

Exactly. Great public servant in the mold of a commie ruling elitist.

What a mess! The democrats offer up their only great hope who will be facing only one of two outcomes..........

A)Elected president of the United States.

B) Is sent to jail for obstruction and a few hundred counts of violating national security laws.

Wow! Talk about being bi-polar?

The department of the FBI doing the investigation specializes in Espionage. Maybe they are linking her Foundation funds and her interventions for those said parties for favors. That would be espionage. Maybe she sold secrets. That would be espionage

So, like Mika, does not matter one iota she is a criminal traiter, you’ll still vote for her.

Check.

Hillary has a bad personality.
Is a woman.
Is unethical.
Attacked women who her husband went after sexually.
Has been reckless with secret documents.
Traded money for access.
Foundation seems corrupt.

Exactly. True “public service” (and I hate that term) involves sacrifice. How exactly how the Clinton’s sacrificed anything?
