Is Hillary Clinton A Monster?

March 8th, 2008

Barack Obama’s foreign policy advisor, Samantha Power, was forced to resign after telling a Scottish newspaper that Hillary Clinton was “a monster.” Sounds like shocking hyperbole. But Samantha Power is not known for hyperbole. She is a serious academician, journalist and Pulitzer Prize winning writer. She has written on serious subjects such as the Rwanda genocide. She is certainly not a right-wing fanatic. So why call Hillary Clinton a monster?

Though she obviously regrets such injudicious use of language with the media, I think what she was trying to say is that the Clintons, both Bill and Hilary, would stoop to anything for the attainment of political power. A New York Times columnist, Bob Herbert, once wrote that both Clintons were “terminally vulgar and unethical,” and that the Democrats should cast them aside. If not a monster, Hillary and her husband have at times engaged in monstrous conduct in their drive to trash political opponents and get control of the White House.
