Are you suggesting her lengthy legal and political career is just a hobby of Bill's?

I'm wondering whether this "test" is applied in reverse to any male politicians?

You know something about you? You never answer the question.

She is an extremely accomplished woman who put her own career on hold to assist her husband with his -- in the depths of Arkansas, no less. If it wasn't for that, she would have come to the forefront in her own right much sooner. It is your prerogative not to like her, but facts are facts when it comes to her intellect and abilities.

I would agree with accomplished, not sure if it would have been my first choice.

Most similarly accomplished people are serving jail time.

I agree she is extremely accomplished and intelligent...but perhaps she didn't put her career on hold for Bill. Maybe she used him as a stepping stone...because of his popularity/charisma and her lack of it.

Watching CNN at the minute...what a farce. :blink:

Not watching but seeing plenty of tweets about trying to force a roll call but not having enough votes?

Accomplished? What has she accomplished without the influence of her husband?

You could start by reading her Wikipedia entry. Degrees from Wellesley and Yale would be considered to be a pretty good accomplishment even if she had stopped right there.
