Hillary Surprises

I never expected to like Hillary Clinton. I did not expect her appointment as Secretary of State to change her- to make her nice or to make her conservative. Idid, however, expect her to acquit the office as a professional. In the last two days, she’s been anything but. First, as understandable as her anger may have been about the question as to what her husband thought, her reaction was amateurish. Cultures vary- especially in the area of gender equality. Clinton, could have and should have made her point without offending another culture. Secondly, her remarks comparing the contested US election of 2000 to the perenially corrupt and violent practices that envelop Nigerian elections is something I’d expect out of a college student. Not to offend all college students, I mean one so thin-skinned and immature that they can’t pass up an opportunity to “zing” a rival. It was unforgiveable for America’s top diplomat to embarass our nation in such a way. To forgetthat she was speaking not as a petulant Democrat but as the person charged with maintainig our national dignity and image is extremely unprofessional. She has atendency to self-destruct. Brace yourselves. Vesuvius could be coming.-sjm
