It just never ends, does it?
From Huffpo (h/t Amy at the New Agenda):
Hillary Clinton On What Designers She Wears: ‘Would You Ever Ask A Man That Question?’
You’ll notice this was from an interview in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, but still, you’d think they could ask another question of the main diplomat of a the U.S.
MODERATOR 1: People always touch some personality of Hillary Clinton. We have some – not just silly questions, but (inaudible) –
SECRETARY CLINTON: Oh, I’ve never been asked a silly question in my entire life. (Laughter.)
[…]
MODERATOR 1: Okay. Which designers do you prefer?
SECRETARY CLINTON: What designers of clothes?
MODERATOR 1: Yes.
SECRETARY CLINTON: Would you ever ask a man that question? (Laughter.) (Applause.)
MODERATOR 1: Probably not. Probably not. (Applause.)
What actually really gets to me is the HuffPo Quick poll at the end of the article.
where you get to evaluate Hillary’s answer. Your choices are:
Totally appropriate…she doesn’t need to answer!
Eh. She could have thrown a name or two out there!
Right, that’s exactly what I’d expect of an up and coming media source in the U.S. run by a woman.

I’m really hoping that there is a ton of gamesmanship in her announcement that after her term as SoS, she calling it a career in public politics. I REALLY hope that is the case…..
Hillary 2012
Me too, Rock. Fingers and toes crossed.
Good grief. I truly don’t know how she does it.
with grace under pressure and high heels
I so admire Hillary. What aplomb.
Now if more women were like Hillary we’d soon have an end to these stupid wardrobe questions. Reporters would get tired of being gracefully and promptly put in their places.
Did anyone see this?

Hillary Pitches Signed DVD for Money
The first line starts with “Over two years after Secretary of State Hillary Clinton got shellacked by Barack Obama in the 2008 Democratic primaries”
Wrong again.
Probably somebody just hit on an old email when cleaning up their inbox.
Yes, I got an email from the campaign. She’s still trying to pay off campaign debt.
Didn’t some asshat during the debates ask her if she preferred pearls or diamonds? No wonder we get morons running the country if this is the best they can come up with.
Morons elect morons, and apparently, run the debates too. The moral of the story. The elected morons are men and the electing morons are men and women who would support anything rather than be crucified as racists or man haters.
Secretary Clinton’s Remarks at the Manama Dialogue Opening Dinner « Still4Hill And then I read something as substantial as her remarks in Bahrain. She looks tired.
She says she’s going to retire from public life shortly.
I know, I saw that…
Sigh. I can’t say I blame her. We need her, but she really has taken quite enough abuse.
Hillary is about as strong and competent as anyone can get, but woman hatred and misogyny has gone so far there is literally an infinite amount of same available in reserve such that all the abusers have to do is keep heaping it on and heaping it on until there is finally enough to accomplish their purpose.
You may want to read these remarks at Still4Hill from her speech for the Manama Dialogue
Strong, competent, intelligent, compassionate – there simply aren’t enough good words to describe her.
She also got a very warm reception at the Dialogue, where the moderator and participants seem to respect her greatly. Our SoS seems to be more appreciated by the world than she is by her home country.
Thx for link.
