Uploaded on Aug 10, 2009
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton snapped on a Congolese student over a question mistranslated about her husband's views on foreign policy, saying: "My husband is not secretary of state, I am."

bernie being next to the nuclear codes. this doesn't give me confidence with her around them either. LOL! That was pretty harsh. I can see her telling a secret service guy to fuck off.

She shouldn't have to put up with any sexist bullshit.

The same folks offended by this are the ones who don't mind people running around DU calling her "Billary". That's pretty fucking sad for such a progressive liberal website.

Her response was rude - considering the culture differences and language barrier/translation issues.
She could have been more gracious.

I do.


But she cannot get rid of the horse that she first rode in on...we might never had heard of Hillary Rodham, but because she was married to a former president, we do.


Bill is fascinating and I think the pupil was tying this to policies that may have been active during his term.

Or the pupil is a complete misogynyst...

I believe we would have had a Democratic president in 92 no matter what.


Besides, I have no urge what so ever to read any biography on the Clintons, either one of them. But then I would read none of the bios of any politician in the last 20 years. They seem to be different heads to the same monster.

This is not the diplomacy and self-control reasonably expected from a Secretary of State in a foreign country. Obviously, she was having a bad day and her carefully constructed facade slipped to reveal her true personality.

That display & tone of voice matches up perfectly with secret service agents' accounts of her behavior when there are no cameras present.

Agent: "Good morning, Mrs. Clinton."
Hillary: "Fuck off."

Can you imagine the scene when she chewed out Bill for his various escapades?

rage I can get behind. He did send her out to defend him knowing he was guilty as hell. Otherwise, not so much.
