THE CABAL
Hitchens' Case Against Hillary Clinton

As Andrew Sullivan would say, money quote:

Indifferent to truth, willing to use police-state tactics and vulgar libels against inconvenient witnesses, hopeless on health care, and flippant and fast and loose with national security: The case against Hillary Clinton for president is open-and-shut. Of course, against all these considerations you might prefer the newly fashionable and more media-weighty notion that if you don't show her enough appreciation, and after all she's done for us, she may cry.

That's about right. But let's add, willing to throw any vulnerable group under the bus --- from the Ricky Ray Rector photo-op slaughter to the Dick Morris-inspired DOMA to the last few weeks of innuendo suggesting Barack Obama was a crack dealer --- purely for self-aggrandizement. As for her vaunted experience, let's just say she was a reverse Eleanor Roosevelt: amplifying and exacerbating all the ugly features of her husband's administration.

Hitchens?
