Among Hillary’s first statements in announcing her run for the presidency was the one claiming that the time for a WOMAN had arrived, as if possessing a vagina was decisive. Wicked men like Bubba had held the job for too long. The degree of that stupidity was surpassed the other night by the degree of narcissism when she refused to face defeat “like a man” and appear before her sycophant/worshipers and worn-out campaigners to make at least a two-minute concession speech. Instead, she hired a hall and turned her concession on Wednesday into an “event” that resembled, however, a funeral. I watched all those folks who had just had their potential Washington positions deep-sixed by probably the worst-performing candidate in history, a person totally without class. I arrived on the scene when Herbert Hoover was president and in the long time-frame since then can’t remember a more contemptible, self-serving politician than Hillary, who managed to lower corruption to a new level. My angst was stirred when she claimed to have been the “champion” for women, as if women are not already virtually taking over education, the courts, and establishing thriving enterprises. One thinks of Susan B. Anthony, Lucy Burns, Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, Geraldine Ferraro, Sarah Palin, Nancy Pelosi and the other women in Congress (a sizeable contingent) and state legislatures throughout the country. She unsuccessfully hit the glass ceiling (for her, solid steel) and immediately became a victim/whiner, as if men and other women don’t do that sometimes in every area of endeavor. Hopefully, she, the consummate liar and as the very worst possible role model for young women, will disappear from the scene, and good riddance, although an independent prosecutor looking into her nefarious activities would be the best entertainment C-Span could offer.
