 Say it out loud as you write it, Hillary |

Hillary Clinton has granted her first public interview since losing the election. It came on April 6 at the Women in the World Summit, organized by leftist editor Tina Brown. Clinton was introduced by comedian Samantha Bee. On cue, as expected, she gushed: "You deserve to hear it 100 times -- it should have been you."
The assignment to interview Clinton fell to New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof. He later wrote a column on his Hillary chat, beginning by saying: "In the most wrenching, humiliating way possible, Hillary Clinton has been liberated. She is now out of the woods again, and speaking her mind."
And why not? The path is marked by rose petals dutifully placed by her equally humiliated legions in the press.
It was "humiliating" to lose to Donald Trump -- that lout. Clinton was the anointed one, and as the press told us, she was the most qualified presidential applicant since Thomas Jefferson. So the feminists at this conference wanted to know: Why do Americans hate women so deeply? What the hell is wrong with those self-hating white Republican women?
This was the kind of challenging "question" Kristof lobbed at Clinton: "This is a women's empowerment conference, so I have to ask. You know, fundamentally, a man who bragged about sexual assault won the election and won 53 percent of the white women's vote. How is it that in the 21st century -- and what does it say about the challenges that one faces in women's empowerment -- that in effect, misogyny won with a lot of women voters?"
Clinton loved the question. It's the kind of softball she's been served her entire career. "Certainly, misogyny played a role," she declared. "I mean, that just has to be admitted." She and Kristof mulled over what he called "abundant social science research" that says we admire men for being ambitious and successful but find women "less likable" when they are powerful.
So here we are, five months after the election, and the best analysis these people can muster sounds exactly like ... the last weekend of the campaign. Then-President Barack Obama used this argument as his closer: Don't be a sexist! He said: "I want you to think about it because she is so much better qualified than the other guy. She has conducted herself so much better in public life than the other guy."
Clinton complained that when she left the State Department, her approval rating was 64 or 65 percent, but "by the time they finished with me, I was Typhoid Mary." "They" meant Trump and the conservative media. Never would this woman ever concede that the more the public saw and heard her, the less it liked her. In an added note of self-pity, she added: "Poor Mary. She didn't deserve it either."
The woman who might have been our commander in chief standing up to Russia, Iran, North Korea and the Islamic State group complained about being called names, drawing fervent applause. She explained that the aim of anti-Clinton bullying was "to crush your spirit, to make you feel inadequate, to make you doubt yourself. And I just refused to do that, and that infuriated them even more."
Nowhere in this dialogue, and nowhere in the Kristof column that followed, did they even briefly entertain the notion that misogyny could define the Clintons. She can complain about Trump's "targeting of women" but can't imagine that anyone could say the same for her husband. Let us not forget that Kristof and his newspaper thought Juanita Broaddrick's absolutely believable accusation of Bill Clinton raping her was "toxic waste."
Hillary Clinton never allows an interviewer who would ask her about her role leading the Bimbo-Bashing Patrol to destroy the reputations of her husband's victims. No one is allowed to ask whether Broaddrick was lying when she said that after the alleged assault, Hillary Clinton gripped her hand firmly and thanked her for her support, and suggested that she stay quiet.
They certainly refuse to contemplate that women could vote for Trump because Clinton stood passionately on the libertine left, supporting abortion on demand, every LGBT dictate and the erosion of religious liberty. It is reported that half of the aborted babies are girls. Couldn't that be "misogyny"?
If only someone at these media-elite confabs would ask how a majority of women can be smeared as hating themselves if they don't check every radical-feminist box.
America’s nasty ex-wife whines again, bwah-hah-hah!!!
Dear Kankles: Suffer mightily, you bitter two time LOSER—your pain is my joy, LMAO.
Same goes for your Naaaaaaaaasteee Woman worshippers that can’t stop crying. President Trump whipped your sorry cottage cheese @ss and you will NEVER be president!!
Winning, winning, I love winning! :0)
I don’t even watch Samantha Bee’s show. I have come to loathe and detest her merely from the 30-second promos for her show.
Mayne she is, but has no reflection.

When a well-qualified, real-world (outside government), and market-proven/successful woman comes along, plenty of Deplorables will vote for her.
But Carly was weak. She had top executive experience, but her track record was failure at HP and Lucent which are shadows of the companies they once were, in part because of her decisions.
What woman stands out? Not many real leaders come to mind. Then again, Trump has set the bar high for both men and women.
“B/c when Hillary lost “I felt so good about myself.””
Interesting......because when Hillary lost, I TOO felt good about myself.

There are many terrible reasons for President Trump’s victory, but there are two things that were not a factor. First, Hillary was the perfect candidate; nothing she did harmed her candidacy in any way. Second, President Trump was the worst candidate imaginable; nothing he did helped his candidacy at all, except with racists, sexists, bigots, and the rest of the basket of deplorables.
She snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Epic loss– one for the ages.
It makes me so happy.
I don’t feel your pain hillary.
Just knew you would.
Every day upon awakening, I smile. The criminal hag will NEVER be President. Hahahàaaaaaaa.
Samantha Bee ~ Now there’s a worthless piece of work.
