I don't mean in a 'eat your vegetables' kind of way. I mean in the 'Ben Stein' kind of way.
See her latest video, for instance.
More below the fold...
Imagine if this is how she handles international disputes with foreign leaders - 'shame on you, Pervez Musharraf.'
It's leadership, if you want to call it that, but the weakest kind of passive-aggressive, counter-productive smallness that you can get, while still being called 'leadership.' It doesn't persuade those you disagree with, and only succeeds in making those already on your side feel like victims who have to band together... in short, it makes everyone depressed, in the hope of bolstering yourself.
It would be one thing, if she was being productive - actually TELLING us how we could push, push, push to get out of Iraq NOW, and working to do that. That's not what she's doing - she's just saying how, well, other's plans MIGHT not be reliable to do what she wants, and we should really think twice before we hope and trust in someone other than her, because SOME kind of possible dispute can be pointed out.
That constitutes the basis for a speech. That's what makes Hillary Clinton depressing. She could be so much more.
