Hillary: "My Husband Is Not Secretary Of State, I Am!"

I Am!

Temper Madam Secretary, temper:

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's temper flared on Monday when a Congolese university student asked her for her husband's thinking on an international financial matter... Clinton was clearly displeased by the question at town hall forum in Kinshasa. "You want me to tell you what my husband thinks?" she replied incredulously when the male student asked her what "Mr. Clinton" thought of World Bank concerns about a multi-billion-dollar Chinese loan offer to the Congo. "My husband is not secretary of state, I am," an obviously annoyed Clinton said sharply. "If you want my opinion, I will tell you my opinion. I am not going to be channeling my husband."

I'd be testy too if every month brought a new article about how I had been successfully pushed aside by the Obama Administration. Though after getting institutionally marginalized by Obama's army of czars and personally humiliated by Obama's misogynist brat pack, I'm not sure what she expects.

Eh. If she didn't want to be treated poorly she shouldn't have aired Birth Of A Nation-style race baiting commercials during the election:

There had to be a murky racial subtext in [the 3am ad] somewhere; every attack on Obama contains one if you're just willing to look hard enough. I thought TPM would be the ones to find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow but instead it's Orlando Patterson, drinking in a critique of a black candidate that features sleeping non-black children and concluding, naturally enough, that it's quasi-Klan propaganda.

See?
