Hillary Clinton is a PC identity politician to her core. Stick with the speech she delivered Sunday, if you can and aren’t put off by the sucking up to Obama and the questionable reference to her “35 years of experience,” until just past the 3:30 mark. Or just skip ahead to that point if you have better things to do than listen to her boilerplate speech.
If Churchill were alive, Hillary thinks he would call statesmen “statespersons?” That’s about as likely as God telling people to lie and smear their way through their self-made legal difficulties.
On an Annoyance Scale I’d rate this about a 3 or 4. Not huge, but memorably irritating in a predictable identity politics sort of way. There’s a lot more where this came from if she’s elected president.
I could be wrong, but I doubt Margaret Thatcher went around putting self-promotional politically-correct gender politics quotes in the mouths of the dead.
