if hillary clinton wanted a lock on the female vote, maybe she shouldn't have spent the better part of the last ten years proving to wall street that she's a war criminal.
it boggles my mind that anybody could look at her foreign policy record and suggest it's an asset. it's the cock-swinging, testosterone-addled, old boys network status quo.
hillary is every bit as rough and tumble and morally bankrupt as any of the other boys that are running.
and, she tried really, really hard to make sure we all understand this.
i don't see somebody that made tough choices.
i see somebody that made a lot of wrong choices - and who won't retreat from those wrong choices, let alone even admit they were even wrong.
gloria steinam is whatever. but, madeline albright's endorsement isn't exactly a gold ticket if you're looking for female voters.
why not just call up thatcher's ghost while you're at it?
hopefully, this is the last time i say this.
hillary has some experience. but it doesn't qualify her for the job so much as it disqualifies her for the job.
you don't just have to have been in the room. you have to have also had good ideas. and, if you were in the room and had bad ideas? that means your experience is evidence that you're a bad choice.
if you're looking to promote a head chemist, and somebody comes in with a long resume that includes a five year stint running a building that burned down three times, that experience is not an asset - it's a reason to disqualify the candidacy.
it's one thing to question why nobody has explained this to her.
it's another thing to point out that she actually needs it explained to her, as though she has no idea of the disastrous (catastrophic, really) long term implications of her department's policies in libya and syria.
ask smiley dmitri about that.
the removal of ghadaffi put russian-amerian relations back decades, and for no good reason.
it was a political stunt to make her look "tough".
you think that deserves a promotion?
i don't. i think it bars her from consideration for future office.
