Clinton’s abilities blossomed at Yale
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — All that Hillary Rodham Clinton would become — all that inspires her allies and her enemies alike — emerged during her years roaming the Gothic buildings of Yale Law School.

She helped edit a journal that included cartoon police-pigs and published a self-aggrandizing essay by a Black Panther who had been convicted of murder. Yet she also helped calm a politically inflamed campus.

She nurtured an interest in using the law to aid the needy — especially children — that remains integral to her politics, but which opponents use to pummel her values.

She projected an intelligence that impressed many but that could be cool and intimidating.

2. Well some people around here are hell bent on bringing up her past.
Just trying to keep a perspective on it.

3. OMG! Lifetime Original? "BLOSSOMed"?!? Did she turn into one of the Power Puff Girls?
Gee, this "maiden makes good" story would put a diabetic into a coma.

This reminds me of the myriad of "oohs and awes" when HRC was said to be "a beautiful pink flamingo" when she wore her pink suit to a debate.

Give the thinly-veiled "feminine appeal" words a rest? Me? I prefer my jump boots when I mow the lawn. But even when I do a stellar job, I wouldn't say "I BLOSSOM." :eyes: :thumbsdown:

6. Thanks, I will. I've made strides in non-traditional women's roles, but I've never "blossomed."
BTW someone call "Wonder Woman" because I don't understand how HRC can "nurture" in one sentence, then *Poof!* she's "cool and intimidating" in the next. :crazy:

Why, she's ALL Women!?! Yeah, sure she is :eyes: ... ask Monica Lewinsky or Gennifer Flowers what they think of HRC's Blossom? (COVERS UP and LIES to make hubby look good on national TV) Oh that's right Bill's ex-lovers don't count as TRUE WOMEN, aye?

HRC, the great blossoming, nurturing INTIMIDATOR? Now that sounds about right. ;)
