Yeah, Hillary has zero accomplishments other than being married to a former president.

After graduating from Yale she was recruited to serve on the presidential impeachment inquiry staff for the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee, investigating the Watergate Scandal and president Richard Nixon (the only woman in the staff).

Nope, this woman has not accomplished much in life. And this is only a partial list of her many accomplishments.
And who knows? She may even add to this list by being the first woman to become US president. At least, I hope so.
Limbaugh's accomplishments? Spreading hate, abusing prescription drugs and illegally transporting Viagra out of the Dominican Republic.
