Carl Bernstein on (Another) Clinton Presidency

160pxhillary_rodham_clinton I was shocked and surprised to read Carl Bernstein, of Watergate fame (All the Presidenn’s Men) and author of A Woman In Charge: the Life of Hillary Rodham Clinton, offer this scathing slam on Senator Hillary Clinton as President on Anderson Cooper’s 360:

“What will a Hillary Clinton presidency look like?

The answer by now seems obvious: It will look like her presidential campaign, which in turn looks increasingly like the first Clinton presidency.

Which is to say, high-minded ideals, lowered execution, half truths, outright lies (and imaginary flights), take-no prisoners politics, some very good policy ideas, a presidential spouse given to wallowing in anger and self-pity, and a succession of aides and surrogates pushed under the bus when things don’t go right. Which is to say, often.”
