[Magdalen] Well at least that's over with.

When it comes right down to it, although they get very nervous whenever I
point it out, the main complaint people have with Hil is that she is an
uppity woman.

After all, just look: there she is, trying to pretend she can be president
of the US, when it's as obvious as the nose on your face (assuming you have
one, that is) what the problem with that is:  She's not a man, and she has
the unmitigated gall to aspire to a man's office.

And for that, they will never ever forgive her, even though most of the
candidates of either party cannot even shine her shoes.

I absolutely respect the fact that someone doesn't like her; but pretending
she doesn't have qualifications is a bit much, to say the least.
