I was never a huge admirer of either Clinton. I never saw the integrity in Hillary that you did. I remember her behavior around the Healthcare project, and how many putative allies she estranged with her high handed behavior. I recall her indignation over Flowers and others and how it couldn't possibly be true when she knew damned well it was. I realize that there wasn't much else she could do, but she always went straight for the other woman's jugular with all the power she commanded instead of admitting that her husband bore any responsibility. It always seemed to be about damage control more than anything else. I have some sympathy for Hillary Clinton- in fact quite a bit of it, and I recognize her intelligence and capability- but I have never admired her.
