Hillary Clinton Has Run Out of F*cks to Give

By Charles Pierce, Esquire

31 August 15

 

And she's finally speaking like someone who wants to gain some poll numbers.

y goodness, the special snowflakes of the elite political media are all a'quiver because Hillary Rodham Clinton, who is running for president of the United States, has decided to talk like somebody who wants to be president of the United States, which is to say, she's started to talk like someone whose big bag of fcks to give is running very, very low.

"Now, extreme views about women, we expect that from some of the terrorist groups, we expect that from people who don't want to live in the modern world, but it's a little hard to take from Republicans who want to be the president of the United States," Clinton said at a speech in Cleveland. "Yet they espouse out of date, out of touch policies. They are dead wrong for 21st century America. We are going forward, we are not going back."

Time to fire up the old Fiorina 2.0 to perform the only function it serves in national politics, I guess.

"What it tells us is that Hillary Clinton has no qualms about continuing to try and wage this supposed 'war on women' card as she runs for president," Fiorina said. "We ought to expect this."

Well done, Carly. Here's a treat. Marco Rubio, on the other hand, fresh from his triumph at re-enacting Lily Tomlin's old "Edith Ann" skit, was so exercised that he did a little smearing of his own.

"So you're going to see a lot of this in the weeks to come. They're in trouble that's well documented, maybe criminal charges around the corner," Rubio said of the ongoing scandal over the former secretary of state's use of a private email account and server. "She's been exposed as being incompetent, and of course, deceitful, on the handling of emails and so forth."

Of course, there was a general rush to the fainting couches, even on liberal MSNBC, where the ratings-challenged gang on Squint and the Meat Puppet was struck dumb – and I do mean dumb – with horror. (For details, please consult brother Driftglass, who drops the meteor right on their watery heads.) Even the Libidinous Visitor pronounced himself appalled.

"Her last statement on terrorists was a disgusting statement, by the way," Trump told MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

And then his tongue burst into flame…and apologies were, ah, not forthcoming.

She responded by mocking him in her speech on Friday morning to the Democratic National Committee's summer meeting in Minneapolis, which was presided over by the mysteriously still-employed Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the Joe Schultz of national chairpeople.

She criticized Trump, saying that in addition to saying "hateful things" about immigrants, he "also insults and dismisses women. Just yesterday he attacked me once again and said I didn't have a clue about women's health issues. Really? I mean you can't make this stuff up, folks. Trump actually says he would do a much better job for women than I would. Now that's a general election debate that's going to be a lot of fun."

There are a number of people who have studied her career who believe that, as a candidate, HRC only gets focused when she is perceived to be in trouble, and then she becomes a formidable as she is rumored to be. If that's the case, then she seems to be getting there at the moment.
