This is the first article I’ve come across (other than my own) openly stating the obvious, that Hillary’s private emails, from her now destroyed private email server, are safely stored in the hands of several countries hostile to US interests – making her (and the US) vulnerable to bribes and extortion. Due to her own behavior and lack of concern for national security protocols – she presents a huge national security risk. In a rational country all people employed in top levels of the executive branch would be required to undergo complete background checks and meet standards for security clearances, plus follow all these protocols in the execution of their duties. a private server in her home, hardly meets the standard of secure. No one has asked her what measures did she take to keep her server secure from cyber attacks, oh, and the Secret Service protection hardly answers that. What a lame red herring that line was! In addition, with this administration, one can only wonder how many political cronies received waivers. Now, that would be an interesting fact to know… Heck, in the interest of fairness, I’d like to know how many top level security background checks were waived under the last 5 or 6 presidents.

To snark or not to snark?
Advice, advice, well, here’s a National Review piece by Larry Kudlow:
“Snarking Hillary Is Not the Way to the White House”

“Snarking your way to the presidency is not likely to happen. And if you go that route, slamming Hillary at every turn, you’re going to lose female voters, minority voters, and young voters — constituencies that the GOP desperately needs to win. It might even help Hillary.”
Of course, Kudlow goes on to warn GOP candidates to present a positive message with details of plans to promote economic growth and positive foreign relations, which sounds good, but in the meantime the Clinton machine will work to caricature all the GOP candidates – using all the snarky attacks they can muster. Admittedly, it’s a tricky one-way street for male candidates to travel when competing against a female opponent, where the most innocuous gesture can be turned into shrill cries of “sexism”or “ageism”, neatly allowing the smartest woman in the world (who utters more “ums” than any meaningful policy ideas) to opine she’s a “victim” of that omnipresent vast right-wing conspiracy….. again. Perhaps, Kudlow is right, but for the rest of us not running for President, why pass up on snarking, after all, look how quickly a full-throated snark attack turned Sarah Palin into a synonym for “bimbo”…. Ahhh yes, you’ve got to love the enlightened political left and how they rise above anything as low as outright “sexism”…..
For the rest of us, not in the race, Twitter and blogs most assuredly will snark away, as one good snark inspires another:

2016 Snarky Update
I plan to write something serious soon (maybe even later today), but first the twitter generation brings out some of the best in the snarky folks. There’s a tweet of Hillary on the campaign trail in NH, walking around with a baby in her arms (oh, how grandmotherly that looks, *barf). So, here’s the link to a tweet about this. Now, the funniest comment so far is from TugboatPhil:
@jeneps She usually has to lure them close to the oven with Gingerbread.
Speaking of the smartest woman in the world, here’s a Kevin Williamson piece at National Review Online from yesterday worth a look, The Age of Minions”:
“Begala is of course the exemplar of the minion type, the tireless monkey-butler of the Clinton crime syndicate, bowing and scraping as members of the imperial family come and go, garnishing their altars between coronations. Begala has minion in his DNA, though he did once seek power for himself, running for student-body president at my alma mater, the University of Texas. He was defeated by an imaginary write-in candidate, Hank the Hallucination, but rather than concede defeat, Begala had Hank the Hallucination ruled ineligible on the grounds that he was not registered as a student.”
“Begala has been triumphing over imaginary foes ever since.”

The #grandmother meme…
In her latest NYT column, “Grandmama Mia!”, Maureen Dowd sums up the Hillary Clinton, America’s warm and cozy grandmother meme. Another hard-nosed political strategy will begin unfolding today: the old dirty laundry washed away, the clinging to the White House curtains image air-brushed out, the cobwebs of old scandals swept away. With baited breath the press gurgles with excitement wanting to see the redesigned Hillary, whom her handlers whisper will visit the little people in their own homes, share their concerns and apple pie in this latest rebranding effort:
“It’s a do-or-die remodeling, like when you put a new stainless steel kitchen in a house that doesn’t sell.”
