The emergence of an audio tape of a young Hillary Clinton bragging about helping a rapist get off easy has jarred her image as an advocate for women’s rights. It seems that Clinton succeeded in discrediting the rapist’s accuser even though she was convinced that he was guilty. When a panel of liberal pundits on MSNBC appeared to agree that Clinton seemed insensitive and cavalier on the tape, the aspiring 2016 presidential candidate tried her hand at damage control.
“First of all, let me remind everyone that this tape was made 40 years ago,” she pointed out. “It’s old news. The minor child who was raped is now an old woman. She survived the experience. Raking up the story at this late date could only cause her pain I’m sure she’d rather forget.”
“Secondly, let’s not lose sight of the skill I demonstrated in that case,” Clinton added. “Even the most inept lawyer can get an innocent defendant off. Getting a guilty client off, though, requires much more cunning and effort. The fate of the relatively unimportant principals in that case is of less significance than the part it played in helping me ascend to a leading role in the governance of this country in the decades that followed.”

The sad reality is that in today’s world I have to read halfway through the article before realizing it’s satire.
Why is ANYONE surprised, after all she's married to one.
I hate satire
I love satire and John is so good at it. Short and sweet. Excellent.

“And by a tipster who seems to be posing as a Tea Partier—but who one source suspects is affiliated with the Clintons?”
Some of these posts by JS probably wind up as actual press releases for the unsuspecting progressives.
They actually make fun of themselves, inadvertently, sometimes.
