Clinton Defends Snubbing Thatcher in Her Book [semi-satire]
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 17 Nov 2019 | John Semmens

Despite becoming the United Kingdom’s first female Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher received no appreciation from Hillary Clinton in her latest book: The Book of Gusty Women: Favorite Stories of Courage and Resilience. Asked about the snub, Clinton claimed that “Thatcher didn’t make the kind of positive difference that would have merited her inclusion in my book.”

“Let’s compare two simple statements,” Clinton suggested. “Thatcher once said ‘the problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.’ This exhibits a negativity toward social reform that discourages further expansion of government to meet the needs of the people. Besides, it isn’t a true statement. As long as there are other people there will be other people’s money that can be taken to do good. The Clinton Foundation is a prime example of doing good with other people’s money.”

“Let’s contrast her statement with my observation following our overthrow of the Gaddafi regime in Libya–‘we came, we saw, he died,’” Clinton said. “Notice my clever imitation of Caesar’s ‘I came, I saw, I conquered.’ Both were triumphant acclamations of accomplishment, not fallacious reasons for why something can’t be done like Thatcher gave. She didn’t belong in my book. I do, but I didn’t want to make the book about me. That’s not the kind of person I am.”

Thatcher outdoes the beast in EVERY way.
Smarter.
She’s a better leader.
She has actual accomplishments.
She has successes.
She didn’t have to boink her way into the public eye.
She is honest.
She got a degree in a difficult subject that involved actual laws of physics, not bulls*it.
And on and on.

Shove it, Hillary, you are a dud.

Thatcher was a lady. An Iron Lady. Clinton is a rubber witch.
