Charles Hurt of the Washington Times invokes the Bard in his depiction of Hillary Clinton’s latest public performance.
Her political career might be in the ash heap of history, but Hillary Clinton is not about to abandon her role as America’s lying and conniving Lady Macbeth.
Or, as President Trump would say, Crooked Hillary.
Out, damned spot! Out, I say!
She was talking to a couple of handmaidens in the press before a crowd that cheered so lustily for the former Secretary of State that one of them observed giddily: “I think they voted for you. I think they did.”
Seated in a bloody red chair, Mrs. Clinton was having another cleanse after her last tortuous and failed political campaign.
She takes responsibility for any mistakes she made during the campaign. By which she means “nothing.”
Out, damned spot!
Scrubbing her hands furiously.
As usual, it was everybody else’s fault. …
… It is hard to say if Lady Macbeth was willfully lying or simply delusional. Perhaps a sordid mixture of both, a witch’s brew of shame, fear, resentment, failure, hate and regret.
The only constancy throughout her more than a quarter century on the American political stage is her ability to constantly spin Clintonian deceit about anything and everything.
