Is Hillary Clinton a Liar or the Patron Saint of Honesty?

[Marr]

5. I'm sorry, but only the terminally naive believe elite politicans aren't liars.

Can't we just be adults and acknowledge the obvious? Of course Hillary is a liar. She's a national politician. But I don't expect politicians to be shining moral examples. I know they're going to spin everything, often to the point of absurdity, to aggrandize themselves and appeal to the stupid. That's what politicians do-- certainly when you get to the national level, it is.

Hillary is very cautious and career-focused. The only risks she takes are calculated to minimize her own exposure.

I think you can sum up her approach to things as, 'the early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese'. It's smart. It's cynical, but it's smart.
