When This Blows Over

Walt Mossberg asked her about her misjudgments. What about
Goldman Sachs ? You were running for president, he said, why did you
do those high-priced speeches?
“Why do you have Goldman Sachs [at this conference]?” Mrs.
Clinton countered.
Mr. Mossberg: “Because they pay us.”
Mrs. Clinton: “They paid me.”
Mr. Mossberg noted they paid her a lot. Hillary replied she speaks
to many groups, she had been elected in New York, which includes
Wall Street. Then: “Men got paid for the speeches they made. I got
paid for the speeches I made.”
The worst part is that she insulted her own country by both stating
and implying that America is full of knuckle-dragging, deplorable oafs
who are averse to powerful women and would never elect one
president. Has she not learned anything? Does she never think
Britain had Margaret Thatcher in 1979 and Theresa May now, that
Germany has had as its leader Angela Merkel since 2005? Is
America really more backward, narrow and hate-filled toward women
than those countries? Or was Mrs. Clinton simply the wrong woman,
and the wrong candidate?
