Why Hillary?

The AZ Republic's Phil Boas in his Sunday quip (5/31) seems to be arguing that Hillary Clinton should be president because of her gender.   Hope beyond hope, I'd like a candidate with a long and distinguished record of serving the country, e.g., a Colin Powell.   Mrs. Clinton's long record consists primarily of being the victim in America's longest running, raunchy political soap opera.   In the Senate she voted to invade Iraq.  Her tenure as Secretary of State was marred by feckless U.S. intervention in the debacle once known as the Arab Spring.  Her State Department legacy includes Victoria Nuland, Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs, and wife of neocon historian Robert Kagan.  Ms. Nuland is famous for handing our cookies to demonstrators who overthrew the Ukrainian government and saying "Fuck the EU" when asked about having the European Union mediate Ukraine's problems.

Quo vadis, Dwight D. Eisenhower?
