how to waste a life

As Hillary Clinton struggles to regain her momentum in the presidential race, frustrated feminists are looking at what they see as the ultimate glass ceiling: A female candidate with a hyper-substantive career is now threatened with losing the nomination
WT* ?!?!
In 1973 she worked for a non profit.
In 1974 she was a government employee.
In 1975 she failed the D.C bar exam, and married Bubba.
In 1976 she joined the Rose Law Firm, and somehow made partner three years later in 1979, despite rarely appearing in court …a stunningly quick rise!
Oh, and Bubba became the Governor of Alabama in 1976, but that’s unrelated.
In 1976 she was made, through political appointment by Jimmy Carter, head of a government funded non-profit corporation which did nothing but launch lawsuits.
In 1978 she laundered $100,000 of bribes through cattle trading contracts. Despite having never engaged in cattle trading before, she somehow managed to pick the two best times to trade each day: she bought cattle contracts at the absolute lowest price each day, and sell them at the absolute highest price. After laundering the bribes, she quite cattle trading forever.
From 1993 to 2001, Hillary attempted, from her unelected position, to socialize American health care, and routinely violated open meetings laws.
In 2000 Hillary carpet-bagged her way into a senatorship.
Adding it all up, I get maybe six years of working at Rose Law firm, where her primary purpose was to bring in new contracts because of her political conncetions, and a bunch of government jobs, appointed posts, and eight years of having an office in the West Wing for no particular reason.
Wow, what a “hyper-substantive career”.
The woman has done almost nothing useful or interesting with her life.

In ’76, Bubba was elected AG of Arkansas…

I work with computers for a living; ‘attention to detail’ is a feature not a bug.

Nothing interesting? Let’s ask Vince Foster. And Susan McDougal.

Whatever.
I lived in Mississippi for a few years and visited both AL and AR a few times, and couldn’t tell the difference between them.

Unfortunately, this is how you get ahead in government (shudder). I wouldn’t be surprised if her record was no better or worse than any of our other statesmen. Which is why it is perhaps best for govt to be slow-moving and unwieldy (I’m buying an island, I swear I am).

“Have held jobs outside of government and its hangers-on” was a substantial part of the appeal of Thompson and Romney. And Paul. And even, to a lesser extent, Edwards.
Of course, we now see just how many people that appeal appealed to.
