Hillary Clinton Isn’t a Bitch, She’s Secretary of State

[sheshe2]

Watching Hillary Clinton testify before Congress yesterday, in what will probably be her last big act as secretary of State, all I could think was, The woman is bulletproof. After more than two decades in the public eye, she comes across — at long last — as a powerful, authentic, and authoritative leader, not some geeky girl striving to find her place at the cool kids’ table. Plainspoken and emotional, but not defensive, Secretary of State Clinton talked about what she knew about the terrorist attacks on Benghazi, and when she knew it. And when Republican Senator Ron Johnson endeavored to pin the blame for insufficient or misleading public information about the attacks on her, she took him to school, clearly exasperated but never losing her cool. “Honestly, I will do my best to answer your questions about this,” she said, “but the fact is people were trying their best in real time to get the best information.” (The message between the lines: “When you are dealing with murderous terrorists in Libya, senator, then you can criticize.”)

What Hillary thinks and says finally matters more than how she looks — which is a good thing, because in that regard, she no longer gives much of a damn. From muumuus to ponytails, her body language and her public persona over the past year or so have reminded me of what a friend once said to me about menopause: “It gives me permission to be the bitch I always was.”



The aging process is, for most of us, a cause for dread. But in Hillary’s case it is liberating: As a post-menopausal woman, she no longer needs to concern herself with the armies of attackers who for years have ceaselessly found her insufficiently girlish, womanly, or sexually desirable. (“When she comes on television,” said Tucker Carlson, “I involuntarily cross my legs.”) She tried to please on the femininity front, she failed, and now, what the hell, she can be the ballbuster and the battle axe that her critics always said she was: smarter, tougher, and wilier than everyone else. Come 2016, Joe Biden and any other Democrat with presidential dreams should be worried.

17. Thank you, Honeycombe.

She tried to please on the femininity front, she failed, and now, what the hell, she can be the ballbuster and the battle axe that her critics always said she was: smarter, tougher, and wilier than everyone else.

The Woman will go down in History, as the best SOS ever!

4. Tucker Carlson is a pig

Why should any of us care whom he finds sexually attractive. If he crosses his legs, it's because he knows he can't measure up to her in intelligence, character, or strength.

Referring to the Secretary as "post-menopausal" and, especially, a "bitch" is outrageous.

16. Fucker Carlson is a self-hating pussy too.

With his little bow ties and carefully styled hair, he's as far into the closet as it's possible to get. He's almost in Narnia.

5. As Tina Fey said, bitches get things done!

And Tucker Carlson has no need to cross his legs because he has nothing to protect.

7. haha

Too funny. I have always had a dislike for bowtie wearing Tucker.

10. Classic takedown by Jon Stewart on Crossfire

[sad-cafe]

18. Always loved this vid....

Thanks, Texas.

6. Tucker Carlson is such a weenie that I can only roll my eyes at him

As for what she wears -- what muumuus? Did she get caught picking up the paper off the front porch while letting the cat out?

I think she looks good for a lady of >ahem< a certain age.

She's been a heckuva Secretary of State, none better. What a life -- what a legacy -- what a woman.

14. I Think the Tuckster, believes this is a Moooo Moooo, it has pictures of cows after all...

Pictures were from visit to Africa...no link, I only found them when I googled Hillary pictures.
Beautiful Person!

8. As if Her Kicking Carlson Between the Legs Would Find Anything to Injure. I bet His is an In-y. /eom

9. Carlson can still get away with his sexist bull in 2013.

What if he said about President Obama "Every time I see him, I want to hide my wallet..."infering that Obama would steal from him because of his race? Will that be what we're going to have to deal with if Hillary is elected in 2016 (not to mention late night "What's Bill up to when Hillary's out of town? Hee Hee."

[meow2u3]

20. He can get away with the sexist BS because no one holds sexist men accountable

That's what we have to start --and keep-- doing. Hold sexists accountable for their anti-woman stereotyping.

[sheshe2]

21. Bingo! nt

[seabeyond]

12. geeez how we wrap women around so much shit to weigh them down. so many wrongs.... nt

[cbrer]

13. Indeed, SOMEONE'S got to wear their big person britches.

The way she showed up that pack of sniveling, whiny, bigoted hypocrites, was worth any price of admission!

[AnnieBW]

15. She's not a bitch, she's a CRONE!

Hillary has moved into the phase of her life where she's the embodiment of the Crone of Wisdom. She no longer has anyone to please except herself, and so she will gleefully tell the truth, even though it hurts you. She will fuck your shit up, but good.

I know that a lot of DU'ers and others were disappointed when she lost to Obama. In retrospect, I think that it freed her to be herself as SecState. And she's done a fantastic job. I don't know if she plans to run again, but if she does, she'll win this time.

[question everything]

19. Can someone find the captions?

I think it was Chris Matthews who showed some captions that someone provided to her exasperated views of those idiots who think they are smarter than she is. Something like: you can't be seious.

Would love to have them posted here.
