| And now, as of this week, Hillary Rodham Clinton becomes something she has not been in two decades: a private citizen. A mind-boggling thought, really, rich in amusingly prosaic implications. Will she drive a car? Is she going to pop up at the Safeway (you’re supposed to bring your own bags now, Madame Secretary!) or be found standing in line at the Friendship Heights multiplex? She’ll still have Secret Service protection, and she has more than enough money to send other people out on a CVS run. But even so, she is now, for the first time in a very...

Which raises the question, what is Huma going to do? Is she going to be a fulltime housewife for her very own Weiner? Will she continue to hold a government position for the next four years, and when Hillary is elected president, Huma can step in as her chief of staff?

She did it all (whatever IT is) by hanging on to the coattails of a very crooked, very sleazy man. What a legacy.

Hillary will soon be offered a lucrative position as an occasional NBC world analyst to maintain her visibility. Harvard, Yale and Princeton will also toss visiting lecturer offers her way. The Rockefeller Foundation will offer her a key role in its Manhattan headquarters. Major corporations will want her on their boards. Finally, she´ll spend time selecting a ghost writer for two or more books for $15 to $25 million. Her book on her accomplishments as SoS will reach # 1 on the Fiction Best Sellers list. Book will be turned into a movie for release in 2016. Kate Upton will play Hillary. Finally, a line of Hillary safety helmets and protective eyeglasses will be mandated for everyone over 50 by HHS. She is not going away, unfortunately.

How many today remember Hillary´s role in the Arkansas Whitewater scandal where elderly couples were cheated out of their life savings? Or her payoffs from Tyson Foods when Bill was Governor? Or the questionable death of Vince Foster?
Don´t expect the media to mention these.

#1, Huma will assume a position with Hillary.
I watched PBS news last night, and two liberal women were commenting on HIllary´s performance as Secretary of State. And each said, after mouthing platitudes, that Hillary was unimpressive as Secretary of State, except for her travels and ceremonial stuff.

Hillary Clinton exits politics? No way Mr. Tomasky!.......In addition to her "lock" on the Blue State vote, "Arkansas´s Cattle Queen" has a huge following out West with the livestock ranching crowd. She will be a most formidable presidential contender in 2016!

What a load of crap. Hillary is nothing but a blood sucking leach, just like the rest of the democRats running this country. She´s a disciple of Saul Alinsky, just like her last mentor, the Liar-In-Chief. As for the most important woman in America, that would be my 6-month old granddaughter.

Enduring legacy? If, God forbid, she died tomorrow, what accomplishments would her obituary cite? Born to wealthy parents on Chicago´s Gold Coast. 7 Sisters education highlighted by a graduation speech of stupifying progressive platitudes. Minor service in Democrats´ army of attorneys attacking President Nixon. Married Slick Willie. Got bribed by Tyson Chicken functionary. Ran Whitewater real estate scam. Got cushy job at Rose Law as spouse of Arkansas Attorney General/Governor. Withheld records of Rose Law in defiance of subpoena. Gave "Stand by Your Man" speech in support of her sex offender husband. Villified his sexual victims. Alienated liberal supporters of government-centric health care with her leadership of the HillaryCare Project, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Carpetbagged her way to election to the Senate while still serving as First Lady. Did nothing of note in 8 years as senator. Turned "inevitable" into "outsmarted" in campaign against a man whose only accomplishments were "authoring" two autobiographies. As SoS: N. Korea develops nuclear bomb and missile technology. Iran develops same. "Reset" with Russia turns into a renewal of the Cold War. Encourages China to indulge in Imperialism. Makes friends with dictators like Castro and Chavez while attacking democratic leaders in Honduras and Columbia. Presides over disastrous erosion of U.S. support in the Muslim world, punctuated by the Bengazi slaughter.
This list of Legacy-creating accomplishments is by no means complete.

If there are any more sightings of a pudgy,badly dressed, older woman with dirty hair making ´I don´t know about, nor am responsible for, all of those dead bodies on my back trail´ speeches, at lots of campaign stops... that´s her.

I read the entire article in what proved to be a vain search for something Hillary Clinton has ever actually DONE that is specially noteworthy or meritorious. For all of his puffing, the author was unable to provide readers with anything specific. At times he seems to be almost aware of the problem, only to veer away from it into still more fatuous, gushing, embarrassing adulation. We are, as usual, left guessing as to just what it is that makes Hillary so special. It seems that for her admirers, just being Hillary is enough. Her mere existence as a public, political figure proves something for them, though it is hard to see precisely what it is. That women are just as good as men? That despite endless scandals and questions about her integrity and her competence, she remains afloat?
There is no word for this excruciating Newsweek fluff and puff piece but toadying.

Her eyes are transfixed as she struggles to prise away the powerful hand squeezing around her throat. Glamorous TV cook Nigella Lawson looks stunned to be attacked by her art collector husband Charles Saatchi during a vicious row at their favourite London restaurant. Fellow diners and passers-by at Scott’s in Mayfair were shocked to see the advertising multimillionaire reduce his celebrity wife to tears. Saatchi launched a tirade of angry words. Four times he grasped her around the neck with Nigella, 53, looking powerless and petrified. At first he used only his left hand, then both.

U.S. and Israeli defence chiefs on Friday reaffirmed cooperation to counter threats from Iran and condemned the alledged use of chemical weapons by Syrian government forces. U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and his Israeli counterpart Moshe Yaalon reiterated during a meeting that the two allies "will continue to work together to counter threats posed by Iran and remain prepared for a range of contingencies," said Pentagon spokesman George Little in a statement. Millions of Iranians voted to choose a new president on Friday, with prospects unclear whether the country will continue hardline diplomacy especially with the West on nuclear issues.

The Israeli defense minister said Friday there is no peaceful solution for Syria in sight, just hours after the U.S. announced a newly invigorated policy toward the two-year-old civil war. Minister Moshe Ya´alon, the former chief of staff to the Israeli Defense Forces, said he cannot predict the outcome of the internal conflict that has caused 90,000 deaths in Syria, according to U.N. estimates, despite the White House announcement Thursday that it would begin new military and diplomatic policies in response to the regime´s use of chemical weapons.

52 days after an Israeli general publicly declared that Syria has used chemical weapons against rebels, the Obama administration reached the same conclusion, and used the finding to justify announcing it would send small arms to the side of the victims. “I will not say ‘We told you so,’ only, okay, the proof is there, so there’s no more question about it,” says Israeli foreign ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor, taking with a smile the easy part of the equation now laid before Israel.

Documentary-makers in Germany have claimed that legalising prostitution has turned the country´s capital Berlin into ´Europe´s biggest brothel.´ Sex trade laws were radically liberalised by the German government in 2002 but a documentary called Sex - Made In Germany estimates that one million men pay for sex every day. The film was based on two years of research captured using hidden cameras and explores Berlin´s world of ´flat-rate´ brothels where customers pay €49 (£42) for as much sex as they want. (Snip) It is thought that around two thirds of the country´s 400,000 sex workers come from abroad.

Speaking during an audience with Latin American Catholics, the Argentine Pontiff said that there was a ´current of corruption´ in the Roman Curia - the central governing body of the Catholic Church. He also admitted the existence of a long-rumoured ´gay lobby´ in the Curia, and hinted that he might take action over the issue.

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

On ABC´s The View Monday, co-host Barbara Walters astonishingly defended Maher saying, "I don´t think he intended it to be mean-spirited" (video follows with transcript and commentary): WHOOPI GOLDBERG: At a recent standup show in Las Vegas, comedian Bill Maher apparently called Sarah Palin’s five-year-old developmentally-challenged son Trig retarded.

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.

It is understood that a contingency plan is in place for the unlikely event that an attempt would be made on the President’s life. The Secret Service also have diplomatic immunity which will allow them to shoot to kill a would-be assassin without fear of prosecution. As part of the “evacuation route” plan, they would be able to spirit the President by chopper to one of the carriers where a jet is on standby to take him back to the United States.
