The story isn’t that Hillary Clinton is rich, it’s that she’s an overrated politician.

From Philip Klein at the Washington Examiner via Instapundit:
The story isn’t that Hillary Clinton is rich, it’s that she’s an overrated politician.
Because the Clintons are often viewed in tandem, a lot of people have mistakenly transposed Bill’s political acumen onto Hillary. But in reality, her political career has involved winning a Senate seat in New York over a weak Republican opponent in a year that Al Gore carried the state by 25 points — and squandering a massive lead against candidate Barack Obama in the 2008 Democratic nomination battle. . . .

There’s no doubt that if Hillary doesn’t find a better way to answer it, questions surrounding her wealth could become an issue. Liberals have been arguing that it won’t be, because unlike Mitt Romney (whose wealth was damaging) she’d be supporting policies to provide more benefits to lower income Americans. But that isn’t necessarily going to save her from attacks on her hypocrisy. Just consider how much the story of John Edwards’ $400 haircuts damaged his whole “son of a mill worker” poverty-fighting persona.
She is the antithesis of every feminist, she has gotten everywhere in life riding the coattails of her HUSBAND. A Man.

Something the Drive-By-Media won't say and something no feminist would dare admit.
