I had seen a few references to Hillary Clinton’s laugh/cackle, but I regret to admit that I wasn’t paying enough attention to join in the Hillary-Bashing. It’s not like me to miss out on an opportunity.
But I see from Dick Morris’s Column that there was more to it than the laugh.
But every once in a while, there’s a rare moment of clarity. That happened last year when Wallace interviewed the former president. At the end of the interview, Bill lost it. Suddenly the veneer was off, exposing the enraged, snarling, lunging Bill accusing Wallace of “do[ing] his nice little right wing hit job” when he forced Clinton to address his inability to capture or kill bin Laden.
Not a pretty sight.
And Wallace did it again in his recent interview of Hillary. Asked about the extreme partisan politics espoused by her and her husband, the real Hillary challenged Wallace. “Well, Chris, if you’d walked even a day in our shoes over the last 15 years I’m sure you’d understand.”
Oh, yeah? And what is that supposed to mean? Lots of people on all sides of political issues have come in for heavy criticism and opposition. Is she saying criticism of the Clintons is what explains her extreme partisanship? If so, how come it’s only the Clintons who have that kind of reaction to it?
Well, at least she didn’t deny that she was an extreme partisan.
(I don’t think this comment was as revealing of the real Hillary as the one in 1993, “I can’t be responsible for every undercapitalized business.”)
