Dumbya Meme - It’s Not Just For Democrats Anymore
Time to quash this silly meme before it starts. Hillary Clinton may be a nasty person, and she may be a horrible Senator and a worse President, but the one thing she clearly isn’t is dumb. Democrats misunderestimated Dubya, and he ended up serving two terms in the White House. We can either learn from their mistakes the easy way or the hard way. Your call.

You’re quite right. She obviously isn’t stupid. The comments at the link carry some silly contentions about her riding her husbands coat-tails and about her MBA, neither of which is really relevant for the politics in this country.
My primary dislike with her relates a most visceral distrust of her. I just don’t believe what she says. Her stands on Iraq are interesting, but I’m thinking she’s playing to the middle just enough to win the Dem nomination and not come up against a more moderate Repub that the middle will prefer.
I also don’t think the country can afford another president that bases their policy on the most recent poll results.
She is a shrewd politician, but that shouldn’t be taken as a compliment.

Obviously she is not dumb and I think its nuts to say so. Moreover, many smart people think the bar will be such cake that they take jobs early, throw themselves into it and don’t study riparian rights or other esoterica, and so fail.
Still, I do love the fact that she failed. Moreover, if it had happened to a Republican it would be brought up ever day as proof of stupidity.

Maybe, maybe not. As far as I’m concerned, anyone who takes two state bars in the same session and passes either ain’t dumb, and probably wasn’t even all that lazy so much as focused on one to the exclusion of the other.
