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."

Bob Woodward: Clinton emails ‘reminds me of the Nixon tapes’

****************
This is a completely invalid comparison. What is 18 minutes compared tens of thousands of pages of missing communications from a person who was responsible for the conduct of our foreign policy? This is not a gap we’re talking about; its a chasm.

Woodward is misleading and wrong. He just doesn’t want to acknowledge the severity of Hillary’s crimes. Nixon’s political hijinks pale in comparison to the national security implications of Hillary’s scandal. Woodward won’t ever say that because he is a liberal of the first order. His proudest “accomplishment” was getting Nixon out of office.

It's all on Hillary, poor-thing, it's more her turn now than when the Black Guy stole her thunder.

She was practically un-apposed, till the Socialist jumped in.

Looks like the DNC and MSM will supporter till the very end.

Any candidate that jumps in now, will be viewed 2nd Tier, a replacement.

Biden, Kerry, Gore, I bet they don't want to be called to run in her place, they have already indicated they don't want to run against her or they'd be in the race now.

Halperin’s evidently developed a taste for airplane glue.

Hey Mark!

Holding office and logging flight miles are NOT “accomplishments”!

Unless you would like to number her OFFENSES as “accomplishments”....?

1- Using public office for personal gain.
2- Failure to protect U.S. Ambassador and then lying to cover up your failure.
3- Conducting government business from a personal computer, for the express purpose of avoiding oversight and traceability.
4- Sending and Receiving Highly Classified data using your personal computer, thereby compromising National Security.
5- Implementing foreign policy with the obvious intent of destabilizing the most volatile region of the world.
....

Putting the Santa costume on and handing out goodies is all the left cares about. Who pays is not a concern.

Regrettably, nearly all public servants have morphed into masters.

Is she talking about emails or people like Vince Foster?
