Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will receive the National Defense University Foundation's American Patriot Award, backed by a committee of people who could provide an oral history of Bill Clinton's most controversial moments.
There are five honorary co-chairs of the award ceremony, three of whom have close Clinton ties: Madeleine Albright, who served as Secretary of State under Bill Clinton; former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, who spent two years as Clinton's White House chief of staff; and Vernon Jordan, who became a household name when he attempted to cover up the Monica Lewinsky scandal by getting the then-White House intern a job. (The other two co-chairs are former Republican presidential candidate Jon Huntsman and George W. Bush's former Secretary of State Colin Powell.)
The leadership committee features such Clinton favorites as: Bernard Schwarz, the major Democratic donor whose company received permission to launch a satellite from China and hired Rahm Emanuel at the end of Bill Clinton's presidency; David Boies, who argued Al Gore's side in Bush v. Gore and holds the title of "corporate America's number one hired gun," according to CNN; and Lanny Davis, who did damage control for the Clinton White House.
Farouk Shami, a Democrat whose campaign to be Texas governor was complicated by his musings about whether the U.S. government was behind the September 11 terrorist attacks, is also on the leadership committee.
Three failed presidential candidates have received the Patriot award — former Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kan.; Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.; and former Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn.
President George H.W. Bush has also received the award, given to "men and women of extraordinary caliber whose leadership has strengthened our nation's strategic interests and advanced global security," according to the invitation obtained by the Washington Examiner.
Clinton will receive the award on Nov. 14. D.C. lobbyists received an invitation to the party Friday, just ahead of a CBS "60 Minutes" report on its attempt "[t]o get to the truth about what happened in Benghazi." The show airs Sunday.
Like Stalin getting the Lenin Prize.
Geeze, don’t this people get tired of constantly patting themselves on the back. It’s one awards presentation after another and they all mean SQUAT!
Is the Bush family in on giving her this one as well?
Or like Her Heinous getting the Liberty Medal from the National Constitution Center with GOP-e favored 2016 candidate Jeb Bush doing the dishonors.
Do they know she got four Americans murdered in Benghazi?
Didn’t the Republican Gov of Florduh just give her one too?
Why is she being given awards? What did she achieve?
My Facebook page has been invaded by Emily’s List - the annoying lib feminist group. They invited me to wish Hillary “Happy Birthday!” When I clicked on the comments, I found that over l,000 people were cursing her - mostly over Benghazi, God love them! Hard to believe she will be the next prez...
National Defense University sounds like an online non-accredited college.
Do you have to wear red socks to their interview and know the secret handshake?
The words “oral” and “Clinton” in the same sentance should be a no-no.
Are you kidding me? They're giving Hillary a Patriot Award for Benghazi.
Up is down. Down is up. Good is evil. Evil is good.
Just like Hollyweird, giving phony awards to themselves.
Hollywood airheads do the same thing, it’s some sort of leftist disease.

Liberals love giving each other prizes... it’s disgusting when it’s not silly.
Exactly and after awhile they all have no meaning.
What difference does it make? /sarc
