Hillary Clinton ask “what difference does it make?”…not the right answer
Hillary Clinton is a powerful woman who over the years has shown extreme grace under fire. She was her husband’s biggest supporter even when it was undeserved. She was one of the first women to run for president that had the credentials to actually hold office. She is a role model for strong women. She has been under fire since the Benghazi tragedy. The Republicans have been itching for an opportunity to let loose at the President or any of his representatives. Mitt Romney unsuccessfully tried to use the tragedy against the president. John McCain used it to successfully torpedo Susan Rice’s aspiration for Secretary of State. So today when Hillary Clinton appeared before the Senate they knew this was their time to shine. It was a time for the backbenchers to sit in the judgment seat as they took potshots at someone who has actually had to lead. No stone was too sharp and no blow too low, but when Hillary Clinton responded to one of their pointed questions by saying “what difference does it make?” I knew that would be the right wing takeaway. She meant at this point what difference does it make? She was saying we need to look at the situation and develop ways to insure that this does not happen again. She was not minimizing the incident she was trying to give it a perspective, and that was not on the agenda today. Today was about having a public flogging and they would have prefered if she had stayed silent as they hurled their verbal abuse, but if that was the expectation they have not met the unsinkable Hillary Rodham-Clinton.
Bristol Palin’s “Memoir” takes a bite out the McCains
Sarah Palin and her entire family owe John McCain a debt that they will never be able to pay, but one thing they can do is stop talking about his family. Bristol Palin has written a memoir and please know I use this term loosely. What 20 year old do you know that has lived enough life to pen a memoir, but that is not the point of this post. The point is without John McCain we would not know Bristol Palin and she should not go after the man’s family. McCain is the one that unleashed the Palin brood on the lower 48. So his wife might walk around like she owns the world so what! “According to ABC, Palin writes that the first time she met Sen. John McCain’s daughter she “ignored us during the entire visit.” She also “had a sneaking suspicion I might need to watch my back. Palin goes on to say “Every time we saw Meghan, she seemed to be constantly checking us out, comparing my family to hers and complaining,” Palin writes. “Oh the complaining.” Palin also criticized the senator’s wife and said she carried herself “like a queen” and held “herself like royalty.” So Bristol Palin takes her shots at the McCains, but by doing it she makes herself look bad not them.
