Hillary's hard-won experience

In an interview with Salon, the candidate discusses the "vast right-wing conspiracy," being called by her first name, and how long U.S. troops would be in Iraq if she wins in 2008.

The immaturity of absolutism

The critics of Hillary here, are so absolute on their judgement of her. What is ironic here, is her interview reflects a level of maturity I find soothing: nothing is absolute. None of this cocksure "I'm your daddy" crap. The framework of this interview reveals that being absolute will bring likely bring failure.

Perhaps that isn't "strong" enough for the Hillary critics. I disagree, however. Being strong isn't being absolute. That backwards-ass definition is what has given us the rise of the GOP. Maybe if people started being intellectually honest about what Hillary is trying to bring to the table, they would realize that strength lies in wisdom, not being closed-minded.

And if these critics want to question the integrity of her wisdom and her words, then not only are the victims of irony, but they also proved that the lying words of the GOP and the 15-year smear of Hillary, has worked on the very people who decry them.
