In reply to the discussion: So pissed at Kristen Gillibrand for saying Bill should have resigned [View all]DFW
(60,367 posts)Gillibrand had almost 20 years to say this. She chooses NOW, after the ridiculous Franken "scandal (right--anyone remember the Fox so-called 'Obama Scandals' of 5 years ago?)." Whatever merit her argument may have had is neutered by the fact that it comes on the heels of a respected fellow Democratic Senator being hounded, also for no other reason than the timing of the Alabama Senate race.
This is, as I see it, a matter of Gillibrand making a simple, but significant error in judgment. If she wants to run for president, she has two years to make good on it, but this deserves to be remembered--a presidential campaign does not forgive errors in judgement. Some can be overcome. None are forgiven or forgotten, unless you are a Republican. Should she ever become president and be filmed patting a male intern on the shoulder, she should be prepared for Fox Noise to call for her resignation, playing the clip of her Clinton comment five times during every hour of air time.
