It's sort of like ignoring how Hillary Clinton owed everything to her husband's career Tom Send a noteboard - 20/08/2022 07:19:21 PM

A woman with no political experience other than an unelected position she botched on "fixing healthcare" in 1993 suddenly becomes a US Senator from NY, then Secretary of State, then runs for President as a "strong woman with strong credentials". It's a familiar story.

Liz cashed in on the name the same way that Hillary did, and used her father's political connections and organization to advance her career, just like Hillary used her husband's.

The nation seems to have no problem with families turning political offices into sinecures. I suspect no one would have any problem with Liz to this day had she not acquiesced to the Democrats by serving on the January 6 committee.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
