I suppose the profanity isn’t strictly necessary, but there are times it adds a certain eloquence to what ought to be an obvious point.

Totally agree that this is a low point in her career, and obviously Congress has a constitutional role that it has, once again, abdicated. Also, I typically find arguments to the hypocrisy of a person’s viewpoint to be specious.
That being said, as someone marginally left of center I find the right’s palpitations about using this sadly common with us/against us framing to be laughable, given the extent to which it was used both against those who argued against the excesses of the Bush years, AND explicitly in Bush’s 9/11 address to Congress.
Not that you were necessarily implying otherwise, but I hated it when the Bush administration did it, too. But Hillary said this back then: “I’m sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and disagree with this administration, somehow you’re not patriotic. We need to stand up and say we’re Americans, and we have the right to debate and disagree with any administration.” And now she says this.
Wait. Hold the horses. You’re implying that a politician – a major politician – is also a hypocrite? Sir, there are lines you simply do not cross!
I should add that I’ve always been fairly agnostic on Hillary. She seems wholly unremarkable in so many ways. But this is just so beyond the pale…
It’s an awful comment, but I’m going to wait until it becomes a central theme of the Obama administration’s message, repeated ad nauseum by their media echo chamber, before I conclude that things are as bad as they were under Bush/Cheney/Rove.
Yep.
You should have seen it before I took all the c-words out.
How would we get to Libya without going seaward?
BTW, I don’t want my prior comment to imply that I don’t completely agree with you…
