  1. I don’t see why her subordinates can’t make her a Helmet that has gauges and dials that run real-time polling numbers and strategery graphs so she doesn’t have this embarrassing time lag between trending data and taking a position.
    They could run a strip of paper out the mouth hole with printed answers to questions and spontaneous monologues sprinkled with freshness and humor.
    This way she can spare her voice, and more importantly, spare the rest of us from hearing it.

  2. Questions, questions. Did she announce her opposition to Keystone to play to her leftists base,or is she pimping for Bill’s speaking fees and more Clinton foundation support from the Saudis?.

  3. BNSF Railway makes $2 Billion a year carrying oil from Canada to the US and is owned by Berkshire Hathaway. HRC knows which side of the bread the butter is on. Her blathering bullshit about Globaloney Climax Change notwithstanding.
