Clinton Says Margaret Thatcher Wasn’t Part of Britain’s Establishment Because She Was a Woman

Okay, what she actually said is that she can’t be part of the establishment, because she is a woman.  Because by definition, women aren’t part of the establishment.

Shucks! No one told all those corporate folks who paid her $225,000 to hear her reminisce to them about how stressful it was to advise President Obama on whether he should approve the raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound. (She revealed this tonight; this was what she told her audiences at those private audiences.) They paid good money to hear a future Democratic presidential nominee say this, thinking that she was a member of the establishment.  They deserve a refund.

To be precise, here’s what she said:

I’ve got to just jump in here, because, honestly, Senator Sanders is the only person who would characterize me—a woman running to be the first woman president—as exemplifying the establishment.

Honestly?  No, Senator Sanders is not the only person who would characterize her—a woman running to be the first woman president—as exemplifying the establishment. Trust me on that.

Also: Just wondering how many of you who watched the debate think Clinton’s hyper/filibuster performance tonight was appealing?
