Hilary

This week Monica Lewinski in back in the news which means by default Bill Clinton is in the news and extension Hilary Clinton. As I look back on the scandal I see what it ultimately accomplished was to put the last nail in the women’s movement. It exposed all of the women’s groups as people who were more interested in a political agenda than in promoting women. Clinton was a man in a power position who had an affair with a subordinate and that was against everything the movement supposedly stood for but they were willing to go along with nuts or sluts excuse and continue to champion Clinton. If these groups were still active they would now be faced with another dilemma. Mrs. Clinton snagged a husband in college, one that she thought was going places and she rode his tail to the White House. Here her major claim to fame was the now infamous Hilarycare. She then moved to a strong democratic district in New York and used her celebrity status to win a senate seat. Nothing of note was done during her senate years and then she lost the nomination to Obama and he appointed her Secretary of State. Her record there will be debated in the next presidential election but many are concerned that it is not a stellar performance. One thing in her favor she will have more experience than Obama did when he was elected.
