From National Review Online. Another reminder about the Clintons and Hillary being all Slim Shady likes. What the Donald call Crooked Hillary. :laugh:
The fact that Hillary Clinton is the first female to win a major party’s presidential nomination should not obscure the harm she’s done to our politics in her decades-long career. Arrogance, secrecy, mendacity, and implausible claims of victimhood will be her ultimate legacy.
This was the first of many glimpses of Clinton’s deep-rooted sense that the laws and rules didn’t apply to her. Key papers under subpoena went missing for two years; she refused to release files on the couple’s investment in the failed Arkansas land deal that spawned the Whitewater scandal, and berated aides who pressed her to do so. “She just let everybody have it,” former White House chief of staff Leon Panetta recalled later.
If you’re full of contempt for people, it’s easy to lie to them. Hillary Clinton lied to the public from the first moment they saw her, which for many Americans was January 27, 1992, during a 60 Minutes interview broadcast after the Super Bowl. In that broadcast, Bill Clinton, with his wife at his side, categorically denied having an affair with Gennifer Flowers. Together, they painted Flowers as a mentally troubled woman making up a story about an affair for attention and money:
Throughout all her ups and downs, Clinton demonstrated a remarkable capacity for self-pity. To hear her tell it, she’s perpetually the victim of unfair attacks, unreasonable expectations, and targeted malevolence. Only the hardest heart could lack sympathy for the national humiliation her husband put her through during the Monica Lewinsky scandal in 1998, but she famously blamed that entire mess on a “vast, right-wing conspiracy.” She once compared the anger of the 9/11 hijackers to that expressed by those who protested her health-care proposal way back when. More recently, she’s seen herself as “dead broke” while living a life of luxury and contends that she — probably among the five most influential figures in Washington over the past 25 years — couldn’t possibly be part of the “establishment” because she’s a woman.
If you think of yourself as a victim, unjustly opposed by irredeemably evil foes, almost any act of retaliation — any lie, any violation of the law, any unsavory exercise of power — can be justified. That is as true now as it was in 1992, and given all we know of the Clintons now that we didn’t know then, there is no excuse for letting them anywhere near the White House ever again.....snip~
