<![CDATA[Quote For The Day II]]>"She hasn’t accomplished anything on her own since getting admitted to Yale Law. She isn’t Dianne Feinstein, who spent years as mayor of San Francisco before becoming a senator, or Nancy Pelosi, who became Madam Speaker on the strength of her political abilities. All Hillary is, is Mrs. Clinton. She became a partner at the Rose Law Firm because of that, senator of New York because of that, and (heaven help us) she could become president because of that," – Joan Di Cola, a Boston lawyer, in a letter to The Wall Street Journal this week, cited by MoDo in a must-read column this morning.

I love this classic Dowd summary of Clinton’s "experience" in foreign policy:

She went on some first lady jaunts and made a good speech at a U.N. women’s conference in Beijing. But she was certainly not, as her top Iowa supporter, former governor Tom Vilsack claimed yesterday on MSNBC, “the face of the administration in foreign affairs.”

She was a top adviser who had a Nixonian bent for secrecy and a knack for hard-core politicking. But if running a great war room qualified you for president, Carville and Stephanopoulos would be leading the pack.

Finally, I hope, voters will get to see past the flim-flam being thrown in their faces by the Clinton machine.
