I have seen a few things about Hilary that have given me something to think about. If only she weren't so fervently pushed by the same sort of demagogue one sees in the Republican side. You know, the sort of supporter who accuses anyone who speaks unfavorably of her as if they were a drone of the Koch brothers, or a closet hater of everyone and everything but Jesus. That sort of rabid support makes me think that she isn't being critically tested and pushed toward excellence by those around her.

If you criticize her for her Iraq vote, I'll understand the point and tell you why I put it in perspective, even though I disagreed with her vote. Sidd and I have had this discussion.
If you criticize her for the way her campaign tried to use race in the run against Obama, I'll understand the point and share a lot of your view, even if I figure Obama got over it and so can I. TM and I have had this discussion.
If you criticize her for a deal done by other departments, without being able to identify how she was involved or mattered in resolution, but kind of think she must have been part of it, well, expect something between dismissal and derision. You and I have had this discussion recently.
