358 ANATOMY OF A MONSTROSITY<br />

613 Virginia Heffernan, “Hillary Clinton is More Than a President.”<br />

Lenny (Nov. 15, 2016). It is certainly true that Hillary<br />

Clinton is no less worthy a candidate for having an airport<br />

named for her than any other figure. After all, there’s a Trent<br />

Lott Airport in Pascagoula, and Palestine has its Yasser Arafat<br />

International. All kinds of murderous political ghouls have<br />

airports. Nobody should deny Hillary hers.<br />

614 See Jonathan Katz, “The King and Queen of Haiti,” Politico<br />

(May 4, 2015). See also Nathan J. Robinson, “What The<br />

Clintons Did to Haiti,” Current Affairs (Nov. 2, 2016).<br />

615 See Jo Becker and Scott Shane, “Hillary Clinton, ‘Smart<br />

Power,’ and a Dictator’s Fall,” The New York Times (Feb. 27,<br />

2016).<br />

616 See Stephen Zunes, “Clinton’s Iraq War Vote Still Appalls,”<br />

The Progressive (April 14, 2016).<br />

617 See William D. Cohan, “Why Wall Street Loves Hillary,”<br />

Politico (Nov. 11, 2014).<br />

618 Christie D’Zurilla and Jessica Roy, “Meryl Streep: Without<br />

‘vilified’ Hollywood, there’d be nothing but football and<br />

MMA,” The Los Angeles Times (Jan. 8, 2017).<br />

619 Not only that, but it really is entirely hypocritical of Hollywood<br />

to be delivering a righteous message on behalf of the<br />

excluded; there is as much racial and gender bias in casting<br />

as in the hiring practices of any other industry, and rich Hollywood<br />

liberalism survives on the back of hundreds of thousands<br />

of poorly-paid Hispanic immigrants.<br />

620 Louis Nelson, “Trump slams Meryl Streep as over-rated ‘Hillary<br />

flunky,’” Politico (Jan. 9, 2017).<br />

621 Donald J. Trump on Twitter (Jan. 9, 2017), https://twitter.<br />

622 Isaac Chotiner, “Donald Trump could have been president.<br />

Don’t forget it.” Slate (Oct. 8, 2016). We definitely won’t forget<br />

it, Isaac.<br />

623 Bouie later wrote a column entitled “Donald Trump Isn’t<br />

Going to Be President” listing the many reasons why the<br />

demographics proved that Trump was incapable of winning.<br />

624 Klein also crowed that Clinton had “left the Trump campaign<br />

in ruins,” and that “Hillary Clinton destroyed him.”<br />

Ezra Klein, “Hillary Clinton’s 3 debate performances left the<br />

Trump campaign in ruins,” Vox (Oct. 19, 2016). Here, Klein<br />

illustrates one of the central fallacies of elite liberal logic:
