FeedPolitics: Is Hillary Clinton the next Tricky Dick?

Does this description remind you of anyone?
“She doesn’t look at her life as a series of crises but rather a series of battles. I think of her viewing herself in more heroic terms, an epic character like in The Iliad, fighting battle after battle. Yes, she succumbs to victimization sometimes, in that when the truth becomes too painful, when she is faced with the repercussions of her own mistakes or flaws, she falls into victimhood. But that’s a last resort
and when she does allow the wallowing it’s only in the warm glow of martyrdom—as a laudable victim—a martyr in the tradition of Joan of Arc, a martyr in the religious sense. She would much rather play the woman warrior—whether it’s against the bimbos, the press, the other party, the other candidate, the right-wing. She’s happiest when she’s fighting, when she has identified the enemy and goes into attack mode. . . . That’s what she thrives on more than anything—the battle.”
Well, if there’s anyone who can claim to be an expert on lying presidents with persecution complexes, it’s Carl Bernstein.

It is my opinion Hillarity will do ANYTHING, legal or otherwise, to force her way to the Presidency. She has already proven she is a liar, she can’t manage a primary campaign much less a country, she has been an elected official for fewer years than either Obama or McSame, and worst of all she is taking the Democrats down with her in this grand delusion. The simple fact is she would be a hack lawyer were it not for Bill. Period.
