Hillary's Phony "Shock" At Weinstein Scandal
Front Page ^ | October 12, 2017 | Joseph Klein

Posted on 10/12/2017 8:09:34 AM PDT by detective

Perennial sore loser Hillary Clinton took five days to react to the New York Times story detailing a decades’ long pattern of alleged sexual harassment committed by her long time Hollywood pal and generous donor, Harvey Weinstein. When Hillary did finally say something, her words were delivered via a written statement, not on camera where she has lectured us so frequently about how pervasive sexism and misogyny are in America. The statement on Weinstein’s alleged sexual exploitation and abuse of women issued in Hillary’s name claimed that she was “shocked and appalled by the revelations about Harvey Weinstein.” The statement then added Clinton’s standard bromide: “The behavior described by women coming forward cannot be tolerated. Their courage and the support of others is critical in helping to stop this kind of behavior.”

Too bad Hillary did not provide such support herself, when she had the chance, to the victims of her husband Bill’s sexual predatory behavior. And where was she all these years as rumors swirled regarding Weinstein’s abysmal treatment of women?  Hillary’s expression of “shock” is reminiscent of the famous scene in the movie classic Casablanca. Claude Rains, playing the role of Captain Louis Renault who was the Vichy police officer in charge in wartime Casablanca, closed Rick’s Café after exclaiming, “I am shocked -- shocked! -- to find that gambling is going on in here!” Renault, who was thoroughly corrupt, made sure he received his winnings from the croupier as he finished expressing his “shock” over gambling on the premises.

I am very concerned about HRC, I think she is slipping in the mental capacity department.

Was a time she would have blamed this on the VRC (vast right-wing conspriracy). What gives?

It's also reminiscent of a passage in her own book where she supposedly just found out about Bill. Remember she was "shocked" and "couldn't breath".

The only thing Hitlery is really upset about is that... ...it's going to be a bit harder for Weinstein to arrange money for her, and actresses for her husband.

The only thing Hitlery is really upset about is that he got caught.

In fact, the Democratic Party essentially "looked the other way" because Weinstein was such a master "bundler" for Democratic Party fundraisers. Now that we know the truth, the Democratic Party is in a massive "pickle" on how to distance themselves from this mess--if that's even possible!

You nailed it. That’s the bottom line.

I agree. And there should be a lot more coming out. We can hope that it will make Cosby look like a walk in the park.

How could she be so disgusted considering Bubba’s life as a pig.

Reminiscent of her “horror and sense of betrayal” when she “discovered” Bill was a horn dog - everything but the “I was gulping for air” bit in her act.

I stated that I'd bet he hit on Hillary years ago and that's why it went underground.

Who really made it surface?

He masterbundlered all that Hollyweird cash to the Dim party right next to the potted plant in the corner.

Hillary should quickly send Bill and Jesse hymie-town Jackson to counsel and have prayer with Weinstein as they are eminently qualified.

Bill is worse than Weinstein. I remember skiing with a Democratic couple who recounted their own daughter’s experience with Bill on one of those Democratic gatherings that was held at a resort before the Clintons made it to the White House. Bill gave their 16 year old daughter a room key and invited her to his room. To their credit they left the same day, so the story went.

Hillary has always known about these guys and it probably forms her opinion of all men.
