Hillary Clinton Calls Henry Kissinger a Friend, Praises His Commitment to Democracy

[Deadbeat Republicans]

Hillary Clinton has written a review of Henry Kissinger's new book World Order for the Washington Post; it's mostly boilerplate, but there are a few interesting lines:
Kissinger is a friend, and I relied on his counsel when I served as secretary of state. He checked in with me regularly, sharing astute observations about foreign leaders and sending me written reports on his travels. Though we have often seen the world and some of our challenges quite differently, and advocated different responses now and in the past, what comes through clearly in this new book is a conviction that we, and President Obama, share: a belief in the indispensability of continued American leadership in service of a just and liberal order.

3. OK... straight from the quote

"Though we have often seen the world and some of our challenges quite differently, and advocated different responses now and in the past, what comes through clearly in this new book is a conviction that we, and President Obama, share: a belief in the indispensability of continued American leadership in service of a just and liberal order.

4. If she can call that monster a friend, she has no business

in the White House or anywhere else in our government. She took advice from that fiend while she was Sec. of State? That's just nauseating.

6. "Commitment to democracy"

7. I wonder how much Henry had to pay for that endorsement. nt
