Do you believe Hillary?
She says that, when she found out about her husband cheating on her and lying about it, letting her look like a fool with her “vast right-wing conspiracy” charges:
Are you inclined to believe that? Or is it another useful lie? As Christopher Hitchens puts it:
For Sen. Clinton, something is true if it validates the myth of her striving and her “greatness” (her overweening ambition in other words) and only ceases to be true when it no longer serves that limitless purpose. And we are all supposed to applaud the skill and the bare-faced bravado with which this is done.
People who dislike Hillary don’t do so because she is a woman. We do so because we can see through her. (There’s also the small matter that her proposed policies would be catastrophic for the US and the rest of the world, but hey.)
UPDATE: OMG, she is shameless:
It is something that is personally hurtful to me, because I’ve been on the forefront of pushing for civil rights.
Huh? On what planet? If Tyra Banks was an actual journalist, she may have asked this self-described “progressive” how she feels about gay marriage. (Then again, actual journalists are always giving Hillary a pass on that.) Talk about bare faced cheek!

I’m sure she thinks she never doubted Bill’s love for her, probably Bill thinks it’s true too. But oh dear. Where are the brains in there?
Hillary and I may have very different views on the concept of love, but I can’t understand how anybody who is cheated on could remain convinced of the ‘love’ from their spouse. Betraying your vows with some random intern is the antithesis of love, I’d have thought. I suspect that she’s just told herself this as many times as she needed to in order to believe it.
And totally right regarding why so many of us dislike her. Her gender has absolutely nothing to do with it.
In theory, I would not agree with Hillary and her love statement. In reality, love is forgiveness and a lot of it; and if it is really love, one looks at the big picture. And of course, the thing about casting the first stone applies. Who are we to judge someone else’s love and their relationship anyway?
Alice: That is what is it - does not involve brains, just the annoying ‘heart’. :-)
Well, you say tomato, I say tomato (if you know that song)…
Hillary is inviting us to make a judgement we can’t know enough to make- it’s entirely possible for a woman to forgive a husband who has acted like an unbelievable arse, of course. But as we don’t know, we must opine; by mentioning it at all, she’s inviting that. Which makes me not believe her.
