Apologists for Hillary Clinton II

Apology #x: People hate her "ambition" because she's a woman and because the media has been bashing her unfairly for years!"

OK, so the media has bashed her over the years - boo-freaking-hoo. Some of it was unfair, probably an early edition of the "liberal media" revving up the post-Fairness Doctrine age. But you know, if she fought FOR something (anything!) that wasn't an unmitigated disaster, maybe she wouldn't be such easy prey for the MSM. Her meticulous diddling with words and overly-rehearsed, poll-driven answers that haven't a shred of spontaneity make her unlikeable - and her positions on issues like flag burning, Iraq, et. al. don't help (except to try to appeal to the extremist right wing).

I haven't done the homework to prove it, but I'm pretty comfortable suggesting that one of the leaders of the HRC bashing was Rupert Murdoch and his legion of jackals. So what does HRC do to confront this injustice? Sucks up to him, hangs out at Faux News HQ for a while, and begs for money! She's getting cash from the people who "bashed" her.... that either tells you that she's a complete, total, transparent sell-out whore, or she doesn't care at all about the bashing. My money is all on the former, of course.

But why did the bashing begin in earnest anyway? I recall the last BIG uproar to be the time she decided to move to New York - a place where I can't find any record of her ever living before (she was born in Illinois and schooled in Mass.). Every media outlet in the nation jumped right on the boldface, obvious, transparent plan - win a Senate seat in a near-term election in a safely liberal state, then make the move for Prez in 2008. People of every political stripe saw what she was doing. Sadly, too many Dems have conveniently forgotten this matter. It was like everything else she does, calculated, risk-averse, and hollow.

So in summary, 1). she has NOT, on the whole, been unfairly skewered in the media. She brought much of it on herself. And 2). her ambition is up for grabs in the media and elsewhere because few candidates for high office have gone so far as to move to snag a Senate seat in a state to which they really have no ties in a telegraphed move that everyone could see from a mile away. Your apology is crap.
