Hillary and Foot-In-Mouth Disease

Hillary Clinton Discusses Her New Book In Washington, DCHillary has been saying dumb shit lately. She was “dead broke” when she left the White House, and isn’t really wealthy. She got into a fight with NPR’s Terry Gross about same-sex marriage. Chelsea is getting $600,000 for doing a bad job as a NBC correspondent.

Soooo, what to say about all this? Ezra Klein has some interesting thoughts.

Klein writes, “Clinton’s chances in 2016 are generally overhyped. For now, her competition is unknown and she’s benefitting from a mix of sky-high name recognition, ’90s nostalgia, and distance from partisan politics. The campaign will elevate her competitors while re-politicizing Clinton.” However, Hillary has two years to hone her message. In fact, she’s already doing it by going on an Ironman Marathon of a book tour. She’s getting back in shape.

Maybe.
