She must be so proud.The Weekly Standard has now found An Exceedingly Strange New Respect for Hillary. This is a glimpse into how far Hillary has fallen because, by definition, when her greatest enemies now applaud her, it's a sign that she has become them or vice-versa... and they haven't changed a bit - which they admit in the article. Here are the first few paragraphs. Read the rest if you dare:
But no new respect has been quite so peculiar as that given by some on the right to Hillary Clinton--since 1992 their ultimate nightmare--whose possible triumph in this year's election has been the source of their most intense fear. Lately, however, a strange thing has happened: A tactical hope to see her campaign flourish--to keep the brawl going and knock dents in Obama--has changed to, at least in some cases, a grudging respect for the lady herself. Actually, they may not have changed quite so much as she has (who knows, perhaps merely changed in her image and tactics), but the Hillary of May 2008 is radically different from the Hillary of two months ago, much less the one of last year, or of eight years back. And this one (at least till the nomination is settled) has some traits the right wing can love.Backpost finished 2009-12-06.
First of all, she is tough. Boy, is she tough. Next to John McCain's torture and FDR's polio (or John Kennedy's terrible health and PT-109 put together), she has arguably been through more harrowing times than any major contender in history. Hillary may not have been tortured for six years by the North Vietnamese, but her marriage to Bill could have seemed the equivalent....{JC: Charming, eh. Oh they do go on}
