"Should Bill Clinton’s sexual misdeeds be an issue for Hillary Clinton’s candidacy?" From Ann Althouse.
The NYT does one of its forums on this question, asked of 4 women and one man. (Could this be a glimpse of "New York values"? Well, they did choose David Dinkins and Bill DeBlasio as mayors, completely ignoring Mayor Giuliani's record of cleaning up crime in the city. TD)
. . . "Katha Pollitt says there's "no evidence that Hillary actually did 'enable' Bill’s philandering" or that she "slut-shamed Paula Jones or any of the other women who accused Bill of sexually aggressive behavior." She muses "What is enabling, anyway?" Is it really so different from "love, loyalty, credulousness, naivete, practicality, forgiveness, saving the marriage, protecting the children, just getting on with life"?" . . .
. . . "Nona Willis Aronowitz, a Fusion editor, says: "Even I, a progressive feminist, tend to think of Bill Clinton as a sleazy ex-boyfriend I can’t stop drunk-texting but not, you know, a rapist. He’s one of us, after all. One of our dudes." . . ."
Former Hillary Staffer Calls Benghazi Victims’ Families Media Whores * . . . "Nomiki Konst said on The Blaze today that the families of the Benghazi victims are calling Hillary Clinton a liar because they are desperate for media attention. Konst has no real claim to know the truth of what happened in Benghazi other than that she worked in Libya after the attacks in Benghazi, but that doesn’t really stop her from trying to say that she knows the motives of the Benghazi victims’ families:" . . .
*Does she mean like Cindy Sheehan, Al Sharpton and Code Pinkies?
The State Department’s Ridiculous Excuse for Delaying the Final Release of Hillary’s Emails . . . "The State Department just filed a motion to have the final release delayed until February 29th – coincidentally after the first four primaries in the country. Lawyers for Jason Leopold, the journalist whose lawsuit forced the issue in the first place, are having none of it." . . .
DeLay: FBI sources say they're 'ready to indict' Hillary . . . "One way or another, either she's going to be indicted and that process begins, or we try her in the public eye with her campaign," DeLay said Monday. "One way or another, she's going to have to face these charges."
"FBI officials have repeatedly declined to comment on the status of the investigation into Clinton and her staff.
Being a Clinton whose every sentence must be carefully parsed, her statement to the effect that she sent nothing marked "classified" must be examined with a microscope. Apparently she had excerpts of classified materials cut and pasted into emails she sent. She would have sent secret material via her private, hackable email but would be "truthfully" saying she sent nothing "marked classified".
Remember also that her husband told Jim Lehrer "there is no improper relationship" and Lehrer let him get away with it. The Tunnel Dweller
Lena Dunham lists the words and phrases that may not be used against Hillary . . . "Dunham said during an interview with Variety magazine. “Adjectives – whether it’s attacks on her personal life or the adjectives that are used to describe her clothing – we have to do a full reexamination. I really want to do a list that we hand to media outlets that says, ‘These are the words you can’t use when describing a female candidate: shrill, inaccessible, difficult, frumpy, and plastic.’ I mean there’s just a list of words. If we were allowed to talk about male candidates like that, I’d have a f***ing field day. I’d enjoy my life so much.' ”
Of course, if worst comes to worst and the judge rules against the State Department, I am sure Trump will find a way to save her from a bad news cycle yet again.
