White Water champagne for everybody!
Can the Nobel Peace Prize for her handling of the Libyan situation be far behind?
Traitors parading with medals of Patriots. Perhaps the Navy seals should give Hillary a lesson on what Patriotism means.
Because these fools have clearly forgotten.
That is a real big laugher. Where have all the informed and intelligent people gone? To la la land?
I view this as nothing but an oscar just a pat on the back from other non-producers.
And the daily news stories stranger than fiction just keep on coming.
Surely, this must be an article from the Onion...
Good picture!
I BET THIS BOOK IS OUTLAWED IN 80% OF OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS!
What are Vince Foster’s views on this?
Does she get an oak leaf cluster for a dead ambassador? This is obscene.
If just for her wonderful handling of Benghazi/sarc
Rest in peace, fellows.
Any one who thinks Hillary! isn’t running for President
is not paying attention. This is just more resume
enhancement. More guilding the stinkhorn.
I'll get you for that my pretties!
Why not Jane Fonda?
