| The world is a better place because of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state. That’s not the question. The question is whether it is a better place because of those last 20 hours of her 80-hour work week. Or because of the extra miles she flew to distant capitals? On one trip in 2009, according to the New York Times, “she traveled from talks with Palestinian leaders in Abu Dhabi to a midnight meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem, then boarded a plane for Morocco, staying up all night to work on other issues,

Old Hilly is beginning to look like she was rode hard and put away wet. And all for nothing! Our world is in a worse place because of her and her meddling. Retire, Hilzilla! But I bet she hates to give up her plane.

What, exactly, does she have to show for all this travel? Were any human rights abuses stopped? Were any wars stopped or averted? Is Israel any better off? Anybody?

FTA: "The world is a better place because of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state." Really? How is it better and according to whom?
FTA: "...but it surely is not true of the generation of which Mrs. Clinton and her husband are by now the undisputed leaders. (Who else? Nobody is nominating George W. Bush.)" - The Clintons are the leaders of their generation? Oh, my gosh, make it stop. Also, Mr. Kinsley apparently just couldn´t help himself in finding a way to sneak in a little jab at our former President Bush.

FTA: ...she clearly has been working herself to death in her current job as well as in her past two, as senator and first lady.
Doing what? What´s ´Exhibit A´? From the very first moment she appeared on the national scene over 20 years ago, it was assumed she was the smartest women anywhere. Besides forgetting a LOT of important stuff (under oath), what has she done? Personally, I´ll always remember her as the potty mouth who yelled F*J*B at her husband´s aide.

Bill Clinton,the new father of the year recipient and Hillary Clinton who worked tirelessly accomplishing nothing as SoS are big accomplishments for the left, compared to their laundry list of failures over the years.
Hillary has been a main player in the muslim brotherhood building power in the middle east,putting our former ally,Israel under increasing security threats.
Does somebody really deserve credit for 4 dead americans because she was asleep at the switch on security in Benghazi. Can those 4 people be that easily wiped away for Hillary´s resume as she sets up a 2016 run?. How about that amazing injury recovery which never was to begin with.
Speaking from personal experience,there is no treatment for a concussion except for the passing of time but she had to be hospitalized. And what the hell is exactly a blood clot "near the brain"?Is there a secret part of the brain where clots thrive? Can blood thinners really cure a clot in 3 short weeks?

In Iraq, we ultimately took control of the entire country by means of the surge. We then negotiated a level of forces agreement and withdrew on schedule leaving a functioning country behind.
In Afghanistan, Obama has never controlled the country despite a surge and there has not been a successful level of forces agreement. We are leaving but it is not clear that the country can survive. What´s worse is that the warlords who control the country have always recognized the winners and will switch sides in a heartbeat. One senses that they don´t see Obama´s America as a winner.

The Obama Administration did not negotiate a Status of Forces agreement with Iraq before our last troops departed and even if they did, that is hardly an accomplishment of Hillary´s.
No, Hillary got to wine and dine all over the world, flown around as if royalty; the head held supremely high as she disembarked from the government jet and stuck out her hand to shake another foreign/fellow diplomat and then off to some palce to have a light lunch and/or perhpas a visit to a local winery before heading off into those marathon 12/16 hour meetings to discusss.... and then back to the guest rooms (ambassador level) at the US Embassy where she and Huma could compare notes...

She would be a terrible President. She´s Dumpy and Frumpy and most of the time her hair looks like it hasn´t been washed in a week. We need someone who can make us proud as a Representative of our country, not someone who looks like a Bag Lady most of the time. She obviously didn´t spend any time shopping for clothes while SOS!

King Zero came into office not knowing ANYONE , so he began his quest for adoring females at the state level . Hence we got Nappy and the Kansas lawyer Whatshername . Hillary was a favor . Then he asked Jarrett to hunt down every black person who´d be interested . Point is , his entire operation is being run by nincompoops who have zero experience or qualifications to be where they are .

Clearly HilLIARy´s appearance demonstrates that she does not think.
She consumes too much salt and fat.
She flies around the world - making busywork when she could work more efficiently at her desk and save important meetings for a real foreign policy statement.
She obviously does not understand today´s technological advancements which make her old school, boring and computer/techno challenged.
She is STILL trying to get Bill´s attention with the long stringy blond hair - looks awful.
She is so insecure, depressed and unhappy that is, now, pathetic.
Good riddance - ALL the Clintoons

The current affairs in Egypt are the direct result of Obama and Clinton. For 30 years Egypt kept the peace with Israel. Now take a good look at who is in control in Egypt. Obama´s good buddies the Muslim Brotherhood made sure Hillary would sell out.

Ignore the fact that should someone start listing scandals and failures the list would go for pages and pages - myself?

All this shows that Hillary Clinton is a very poor manager as her ambassadors in countries around the world could surely have handled much of the routine wining and dining, with Clinton only showing up to put her signature on substantial foreign policy accomplishments. However doing that would have created political vulnerabilities and PR problems for Clinton, as she did not have any real foreign policy accomplishments. On top of that, the liberal media would not have had her trips to use as as a basis to play her to the American public as being a progressive saint traveling around the world.
Clinton had to stay away from most of the real sheiks and potentates in the Middle East who are secure in their countries, as Clinton is a woman, and except during photo ops. they would have treated her like crap.

FTA: Travel is an especially good way to stay -- and appear -- busy. Otherwise, you are at risk of actually being at your desk when someone calls. What could be more embarrassing? I don’t mean to suggest that all or even most business travel, let alone diplomatic travel, is for show. Just that much of it is.
Can anyone point to a SUCCESS Piaps has had in her entire life? She´s bounced from job to job, but only spouts political doublespeak and meaningless babble. She´s as ugly as an outhouse and probably not very good company. Her elevated status just goes to show how the media can create a silk purse out of a sows (r)ear.

Hillary has been quite busy in her job as SOS. She has done what she has been told. She has lied to the world and turned her head while good men were killed by raging barbarians, and she has enabled the rebirth of the caliphate and dissed our allies. All in all, that in any progressive´s mind makes her imminently qualified for POTUS. Obama will destroy this country during his two terms and then Hillary as POTUS will dance on its grave. At this point with the media´s support of Obama´s agenda and the weak, feckless Republican opposition, it will take nothing short of divine intervention to restore this country to sanity.

Maybe she looks worse and worse because she realizes that she ain´t in no way up to the job but would die before she´d ever admit it and the stress is killing her.
She´s also probably royally ticked because she wishes Obama was her doorman instead of her alleged boss. That is all he´s good for, actually.

Michael Kinsley? He was one of the first outspoken communist party liners on media too many years ago. Where did you dig his trash up? Bilary is in the hot seat, being asked to lie for someone other than her own Slick Willie. No wonder she´s been episodically sick. She cannot tell the truth and violate her vindictive, raging boss.....The Vindicator. Not a good time to be Bilary even with her monster lying history and capability.

Hmmmm. Wonder who Mr. Kinsley wants to support in 2016... doesn´t look as though it will be Hillary. To his point about "conspicuous travel"- we all know people who do this... they´re usually running away from something and the travel puts them out of reach for hands-on problem solving. Among our political class, this disease is an epidemic.

Once I got past the first obligatory and drooling paragraph, I found it hard to believe that Kinsley had written the last part. These are ego trips. She has been driven to prove herself since she was very young. Some things never change. But she is showing serious signs of decay. Her lifestyle - all of it - has taken its toll.

The triumph of the Muslim Brotherhood and allied anti-Western muslim agitators across the Middle East has made the world a better place? Oh, and the Chinese controlling our money more and more and the Arabs controlling our oil supply? Get real, Kinsley.

What #21 said! "Travel is an especially good way to stay -and appear -- busy. Otherwise, you are at risk of actually being at your desk when someone calls." Or, I would suggest, she is finding out that it is VERY convenient for both Bill & BO to have her sent out of town & out of their hair while they are up to mischief. Coming home & staying there with nothing to do, ignored & out of the limelight, is her worst nightmare. By traveling, she "runs away" from herself.

The PIAPS still draws adulation from the sheeple. Why? Because she´s as big a failure as most of them. They look at Condi and they see a Stanford provost who can play the piano and be an expert on world affairs. She also exudes guts and dignity. They look at the PIAPS and they see an overweight, frazzled woman with a straying husband and a bad hairdo. Hey--she looks like me. She must care about me. etc.
Always remember: the PIAPS failed the bar exam.

You drive for show and putt for dough.
Hillary’s goal was to rack up more travel miles than any previous SecState and she even failed at that—Condi beat her out. Even though she three-putted every foreign crisis during her tenure (and scored a triple-bogey on Bengazi), Mrs. Clinton calculated that looking busy would protect her reputation when the flit hit the shan—as she and Bill knew it would under Obama.
Hillary equated miles with effective diplomacy just like libs equate ever-greater funding for education with more knowledgeable students. The only thing Kinsley got right in this article is that Democrats measure success by the size of inputs, not by the success of outcomes.

"The world is a better place because of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state." Stopped reading right there. This thieving, lying, and at the very least an accessory to the murder of our brave Seals on that rooftop in Benghazi is arguably the worst Secretary of State in our nation´s history. Witness the fruits of her and Dictator Obama´s Middle East policies which have resulted in a takeover of radical islam and may ultimately result in the destruction of Israel. Not to mention the alienation of our most staunchist allies around the world. The sooner this devious, Communist Pantload exits the American halls of power the better. She belongs in prison.

Hillary confuses being SoS with the role of First Lady. As SoS, one is expected to do more than show up, shake hands, be charming (this would be work for her, I admit), have dinner, and be gracious.
At least when Condi was SoS, she could rack up the air miles, show up well-groomed. And she could speak Russian to the Russians and French to the French. When Hillary speaks, it is mostly in FJB language, not exactly the language of diplomats. Susan Rice speaks the same kind of language as Hillary, another reason why she was not considered to be SoS material.

Bill and Hillary Clinton should be in prison for crimes against humanity for what they did to their fellow citizens at Waco, TX, on April 19, 1993. The Waco Massacre and church burning (it was not a “compound,” it was their church),was the most brutal, heinous violation of civil, human and Constitutional rights in this nation´s history. Innocent men, women and children were attacked with tanks, poison gas (CS gas turns to cyanide when heated) and burned alive. Those who ran from the church were machine-gunned as documented in the movie "Waco, The Rules of Engagement." If you doubt how bad this was consider that you never hear the left stream media talk about it. They want it erased from history but this memorial site will remain forever: .... http://www.wizardsofaz.com/waco/waco2.html And if that weren´t bad enough, Clinton´s thugs then stuck a machine gun in the face of a 5 year old boy and sent him to the communist gulag known as Cuba: http://www.therealcuba.com/elian_gonzalez.htm Let´s hope Clinton isn´t teaching President Prompter too many of his old tricks!

I think Obama was trying to wear her down so she wouldn´t challenge him in 2012. Obama sent Richard Holbrooke back and forth and back and forth to Afghanistan and Pakistan. While he put in his typical 2 hr day and then played basketball and golf and partied. And then Holbrooke collapsed and died at 69 .

Two thoughts on this:
First, Hillary´s jetting all over the place, working all-nighters, reminds me of the old SNL skit with John Belushi. Belushi and several other guys dressed in gymnast uniforms all trot around the stage shouting "Hut! Hut! Hut!" but they never do any tricks.
Second, as to this quote: "Clinton looks awful and has looked worse and worse for years," we all know that if you dry something out too quickly sometimes it cracks.

So the left is beginning an anti-Hillary campaign because ** they are grooming someone else. ** Wonder who it is---someone much like Obama, no doubt.
I dislike the Clintons immensely. However, a man would not be the prolonged subject of physical comments in the way that she is. Male politicians are often fat, old, etc., and this is rarely mentioned.
Hillary Clinton does buy very fine clothing---conservative cut and beautifully made. Her taste level has been very good in clothing, even though her overall appearance is unfortunate.

#56...word is...they´re grooming Corey Booker...note he is everywhere...on every news show....Word is the Black power structure refuses to give up the vote theft machine ....and plans a long list of black Communists presidents....note Booker´s position changes... Christy gets it...and is quickly adding his flap jaw...
Put Hilary in Hazleton ...and dry her out...One wishes her pathetic appearance were the result of a heavy conscience due to watching Stevens and brave military Seals slaughtered ...but reality suggests evil simply remains evil...

the only way you´d notice jet lag is if you had to be some where, had an appointment. If Hill and friends are just partaying and the plane goes from stop-to-stop, and one never gets off the plane, there ´d be no lag. Just another day. Or the plane just drops her at Alta de Chavon in the Dominican, and picks her up in 2 weeks. The plane is sent to country X, Y and Z w/ no one aboard. All the debauchery shown is her high life and her duff-miving. The "picture of Dorian Gray" in reverse.

Some great comments follow the column, especially the ones from Ben Wenton and Sukie Tawdry. They capsulize Ms. Clinton´s history, and make it clear that the adulation thrown her way is undeserved.
The local paper in my town insulted all of its readers´ intelligence a couple of weeks ago, in a What´s In, What´s Out column. Hillary is In because "everyone loves Hillary Clinton".

Hillary Clinton is even less productive than her Webb Hubble spawn.

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal. But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —

A New York hedge fund manager allegedly swindles $12 million from a prominent Baltimore family. An Indiana couple is accused of bilking hundreds of customers by charging for free trials of cosmetic products. A financial manager in Texas promises 23-percent returns but absconds with $33.5 million of his investors’ money in a classic Ponzi scheme.All three cases have one thing in common: money that ended up in offshore accounts and trusts set up in tax havens around the world.

Gen. Ralph O. Baker, the commander of a strategic counterterrorism force on the Horn of Africa, was fired March 28 on charges of sexual misconduct. Two officials familiar with the case said Baker was investigated for allegedly groping a female civilian employee after he had been drinking.

The Obama administration appeared eager Thursday to downplay the North Korean military’s latest threat that it has the final authority to carry out “cutting-edge, smaller, lighter and diversified” nuclear strikes on the United States.“This is just the latest in a long line of aggressive statements,” (Snip)the recent tension between Washington and Pyongyang “does not need to get hotter.”The remarks were the first public reaction from the Obama administration since Wednesday’s claim by the North Korean military that the “moment of explosion is approaching fast” with the possibility of war breaking out “today or tomorrow.”

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

Political scientist Charles Murray has never backed away from controversy, but usually his opponents have been liberals. Friday, however, he managed to upset conservatives at the annual conference known as CPAC, where thousands of bewildered Republicans gathered to figure out the way forward after their party’s 2012 electoral defeat. Murray ditched his prepared remarks on “America Coming Apart” in favor of an impromptu admonition to fellow conservatives to accept the legalization of both gay marriage and abortion.

PRESIDENT OBAMA: You are the mantle of Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington and Ralph Bunche and Langston Hughes and George Washington Carver and Ralph Abernathy and Thurgood Marshall and, yes, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. These men were many things to many people and they knew full well the role that racism played in their life. But when it came to their own accomplishments and sense of purpose, they had no time for excuses. Every one of you has a grandma or an uncle or a parent whose told you at some point in life

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

"Can you see in your mind´s eye a way that this might not have been political, that this was a misguided stupid way to sort, but that they didn´t intend it to be some kind of political attempt to harass the Tea Party?" So actually asked CNN´s Candy Crowley of her guest Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) concerning the Internal Revenue Service scandal Sunday (video follows with transcript and commentary):CANDY CROWLEY, HOST: Moving on to the IRS problem at this moment, which is really sort of in its infancy. There will be lots more hearings coming up this week

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement

WASHINGTON – White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer said Sunday Republicans owe Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, an apology for alleging she played a part in formulating the White House’s response to the attacks in Benghazi, Libya, last year that killed four Americans. Pfeiffer said on ABC’s “This Week” that the release of more than 100 pages of Benghazi emails and notes show “beyond a shadow of the doubt” that accusations she tried to change the narrative of what happened in the attacks was false. "And, frankly, I think that many of the Republicans
