Hillary

We watched the hours of grilling on the Benghazi business given Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (who looked not only perfectly healthy but more attractive than we've seen her look in years) by committees of both the Senate and the House and she came through it all with flying colors, as the saying goes. The woman met every challenge with aplomb, non-flinching straightforwardness, and, except for a single well-justified instance (viz., when responding with annoyance to Republican Senator Ron Johnson), with perfect equanimity. A considerable feat that last when responding to some of her Republican challengers like, for instance, Senator Rand Paul who's as loony as his famous dad, Ron, and not a quarter as intelligent. Had he been President, Senator Paul informed Secretary Clinton, he would have fired her for her mishandling of the Benghazi affair. Actually, our memory of the questioning during that particular segment of the hearings is somewhat unsure because our attention was more than a little diverted by a sultry, smolderingly beautiful young woman sitting right behind and to Senator Paul's side in full view of the camera and from whom we could not lift our eyes.

But as we were about to say...

If Hillary Clinton chooses not to run for President in 2016, we swear we're going to kidnap her and hold her hostage until she agrees to change her mind concerning that decision. If there exists a candidate more qualified and better suited to be our first female president we can't imagine who that might be.
