The story isn't that Hillary Clinton is rich
2014-06-24
h/t Instapundit
After previously trying to justify her six-figure speaking fees by claiming she and Bill Clinton were “dead broke” when leaving the White House, she's come under fire for stating that she wasn't that “well-off.” This has led to a spate of stories about whether the Clintons' enormous wealth would weigh on her presidential ambitions in a nation with growing populist sentiment. But the deeper takeaway from her recent dustups isn't her wealth, but that she's an overrated politician.

...Because the Clintons are often viewed in tandem, a lot of people have mistakenly transposed Bill's political acumen onto Hillary. But in reality, her political career has involved winning a Senate seat in New York over a weak Republican opponent in a year that Al Gore carried the state by 25 points -- and squandering a massive lead against candidate Barack Obama in the 2008 Democratic nomination battle.

#2  But, but, but you must remember my vriend, I actually started the movement, not these classless, Arkansas hinterwylders. I have made billons since leaving government from facilitating the industrial takeover of the US trade with the Chinese.

#1  The story is that she's a traitor, wholly owned by the Chinese since they bought her husband.
