Clinton as SoS: "If you lift an eyebrow, people might write about it. And I'm prone to lift my eyebrows." http://www.esquire.com/entertainment/a7217/hillary-clinton-0510/ …
Hillary. Happy.
She has lived the most extraordinary American life. Now she lives in extraordinary exile — from the two men she is most loyal to, from politics, from controversy. And it has freed her.

Just once, Hillary Clinton blushes.
She is with a man, of course. She always is. There are so many men, and she is generally the only woman among them. Protocol usually keeps the passions in check. But this man — he is from Moldova. He is the prime minister. He has suffered and survived. Now he is in the party room of the U. S. Department of State, the aptly named Ben Franklin Room. Outside, the State Department is colorless, brutalist — Moldovan. Inside, in its retrofitted showplaces, it is Colonial Williamsburg. It is vast and fancy, as detailed as a wedding cake. The light from the chandeliers is transfigured in the goblets of wine.
It is a party for Moldova!
People are commenting about the Moldovan flag. They have never seen such a flag. Of all the hundreds of flags that the State Department keeps in its flag room, it must be one of the most unusual. It features an eagle with a cross in its mouth and both an olive branch and a scepter in its talons. It is a very busy eagle and a very busy flag, and there are two of them on the stage of the Ben Franklin Room, coupled with two American flags, flanking a lectern. Also flanking the lectern are His Excellency Vladimir Filat and the U. S. secretary of state, Hillary Clinton.
He is wearing a dark-blue suit by the Moldovan designer Vladimir. She is wearing black pants and a boxy jacket, creamsicle in color, jauntily severe, country-club Maoist, with a scarf wrapped around her neck like a bandage. Her hands are folded before her, and among the men assembled around the lectern, she looks as small as a Rolling Stone.
She speaks first and says something typically excellent about the political strife that has engulfed Moldova over the last year. "We know it was not easy," she says. "We know that it came at political cost. But it was so important because it has established a democratic Moldova that has, for the first time, a democratically elected prime minister in eight years."
His Excellency is next. .................
= new reply since forum marked as read
of Hillary Clinton and her all-in service and loyalty to Barack Obama, while still maintaining her personal principles and convictions.
Very impressive and belies the rightwing smear of "her character" we repeatedly see and hear from the extreme fringe. 
But we knew that already. Been going on for three decades!
The writer can't help himself. The man's in a 'suit', but she "is wearing black pants and a boxy jacket, creamsicle in color, jauntily severe, country-club Maoist, with a scarf wrapped around her neck like a bandage." (I italicized the perjoratives)
Then she blushes? "...beyond the color of her makeup"?
"She understands that American ideals flow from American power, not the other way around!"??
I don't believe that. There is zero evidence Hillary believes it. And while I appreciate the comparison to Eleanor-
"...the most loved and hated — First Lady since Eleanor Roosevelt"
-how can a reporter still be so lazy as to include the lewinski episode? Further in article, she's "stiff" and "will never be President"
