Hillary Clinton: Remarkably unqualified to be president
Scripps Howard News Service ^ | November 15, 2007 | Deroy Murdock

NEW YORK -- The yellow-billed oxpecker stands atop the mighty rhinoceros, gobbling ticks and chirping loudly when danger looms. This tiny bird would make a perfect mascot for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential bid. Akin to that creature, the New York Democrat leaves tiny footprints and has spent more than three decades riding aboard her outsized, accomplished husband, William Jefferson Clinton.

And, like the oxpecker, Hillary Clinton is remarkably unprepared for the presidency. Beyond helping to secure post-9/11 recovery funds for Gotham, her legislative achievements are rather slight. Lighter yet is her executive experience, which is measurable in grams.

While Clinton has been an outspoken liberal activist since the 1960s, she never has run a business, a city, a state or a Cabinet department. She was a partner at Little Rock's Rose Law Firm, but did not administer it. Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families aside, she headed none of the nonprofits whose boards her Web site says she joined.

While she conducted President Clinton's health-reform task force in 1993, the plan it concocted in secret collapsed in public. This 1,368-page prescription for government medicine quietly vanished, sparing a Democratic Congress the embarrassment of euthanizing it.

Since her 2000 election, Clinton never has chaired a Senate committee. However, she does lead the Senate Superfund and Environmental Health Subcommittee. As its Web site explains, the panel oversees "recycling, federal facilities and interstate waste."

Clinton has presided over something. She commanded the Wellesley College Republicans in 1965, and then became student-government president.

Despite repeated requests, Clinton's campaign did not identify the executive experiences that supposedly merit her presidency.

Wow! A non-existent resume that qualifies her to be President!

That right Hill you can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can’t pick up a nomination with as weak a resume as you have.

You got to give Hillary credit for one thing: She knows a bra-less supporter when she sees one.

Yes, but she has 35 years of that non-existent experience.

John Kerry spent 19 years in the Senate and did very little. Three or four of his accomplishments were actually accomplished by others -- he just borrowed the credit. Yet, he almost won in 2004.

Hillary Clinton, when she announced her run, had one full term and 20 days into her second term in the Senate.

John Edwards had one term in the Senate.

Barak Hussein Obama (a.k.a., Ears Osama) had two years in his first Senate term when he announced.

Half the candidates on the GOP side have little executive experience, as well.

Yes, remarkably unqualified to be CIC, since when the going got rough she wanted to surrender.

As much as I despise Hil, the Constitution is on her side:

No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of the president; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty-five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States.

I’ve never given a lot of credence to the “Hillary is a lesbian” stories, but the giddy look on her face in that picture gives me pause.

I dunno but it sure suits her perfectly.

Oh that is Natalie Portman isn’t it? How sad to see the adorable young girl who learned from Jean Reno how to kill people fall so far.

That would have been a better photo if someone had cropped Grandma out of it.

Considering the entire Democrat field of candidates the headline should be something like:

The yellow-billed oxpecker: Remarkably well qualified to be the Democrat Presidential Candidate, Comparatively
