"There will be NO opportunities to interview Hillary Clinton; her speech will be her interview."

139. Nobody's referred to her with the term "c@nt" but YOU!

And of course you can't deny the truth of my post. You have no concern for a 12 year old rape victim? Some might call that misogynistic. You can't admit to me or yourself that this was a despicable chapter in HRC's life.

I'm glad to say I don't hate Hillary. Hatred eats away at the soul. And I don't bring hatred to the table. I do bring cold, hard, documented facts to the debate. And I do love the truth. And progressive values. And as a female attorney of HRC's generation, I cannot for the life of me understand a female attorney volunteering to give a pro bono defense to a man she believed to be a rapist. If you have no concern for that, I suggest you look into your heart.

I have a lot of pity for her. She could have done so much with her life on her own - given all her education and ability - if she had had the self-respect and courage to leave a serially adulterous husband. Her choice to stay, of course. But I do not respect her for it. She's gone through a hell of national and international humiliation being his wife, but it was always her choice.

This commenter on a Salon article stated what HRC might have done with her life:

She might have been laboring as a government lawyer after concluding her gig with the Nixon impeachement staff. As a Yale law graduate, she could have easily scored a gig a a top New York, DC or Chicago firm, and be comfortably retired now after earning seven figures for quite a while. Or, she could have decided to work in the legal department of a human rights or environmental cause.

Instead, she married a brilliant kid from nowhere and moved to the middle of nowhere, where he was elected governor of a nothing state. One presumes that she read Gloria Steinem and Betty Friedan and all the seminal feminist authors, but rather than go out on her own, she chose to stand by her man and be serially humiliated. She worked at the best law firm in Podunk, Arkansas.

This is a person whose whole public persona is an oxymoron: a supposed feminist icon who stuck by her abusive man as a barefoot pregnant high school dropout might, rationalizing that the end was worth the means; a supposed leader and independent woman whose life's total accomplishments are due to being married to said abusive man; a supposed champion of the little guy who hobnobs with billionaires and thinks she "earns" more for a 60 minute speech than four middle class Americans do in a year.
