She’s BAAAAAAACK!
It’s the Hill we all know and love from the campaign. Upstaged by Bill, with Obama and Biden out there on the road, doing her job, the last straw was in Kinshasa today when some hapless Congolese university student asked her, “What does Mr. Clinton think, through the mouth of Mrs. Clinton …” CBS has the vid. She looks around, a little stunned, then commences operations on Joe College, with big scary eyes. Money quote follows:
“Wait, you want me to tell you what my husband thinks? My husband is not secretary of state, I am.”
AP has the story, how she’s been out of circulation, plus the history of this “complicated couple.” OK, rest of the quote:
“If you want my opinion, I will tell you my opinion. I am not going to be channeling my husband.”
Sigh … remember back in the spring of 2008, when it was all about the eye-gouging? It was so great … The appointment of Hill as Secretary of State was actually a hopeful development, though as long as she limits herself to eviscerating college kids, she’ll never amount to anything. You know, I always thought the Valkyrie would make a heck of a War Czar.
UPDATE: ABC’s Jake Tapper reports a State Department official claims the student later went up to Hillary and said he was mistranslated. That’s right, go ahead and ruin a good story with facts! That’s if the student actually was misquoted, and if he actually went up and told her that. No one’s trying to claim that Hill didn’t pull a nutty when asked what her husband’s opinion was, anyway.

Her Secret Service detail didn’t call her “Queen B***h Of The Universe” for nothing.

Jules, I do believe that it was a mistranslation. My initial reaction was that it was an obnoxious question as it was framed as channeling Bill Clinton (but the person meant President Obama) and serving as a mouth for him.
But it’s a fair comment that the Secretary of State should not be thin-skinned and should be creative while employing tact. You are right that she would be better suited as War Czar.
