1. It sucked when I heard it the first time so many years ago.

....I think she has never hidden her true self. Folks just don't want to see it.

7. A heart-warming look at cookiegate

cookiegate is from 1:14 to 3:20. Her journey from radic lib to Hillary Homemaker being the implication of this msnbc "news" segment.

And I don't get it now. Some of us had Boomer moms that went all the way to the glass ceiling and put a few cracks in it. Or as my dad said waaaay back in the day -

"So what? Bill is probably like me and likes ambitious women."

My dad liked that my mom was so successful.

Note - this is going on when I'm trying to tell my parents I want to take a year off from school and bum around Europe on my own dime. Shhhh - I finally did in 1995. Tom was not pleased but did not stand in my way.

The value of a cookie baker is just as important as the first woman President. It may be hard to imagine but she was actually belittling people and she didn't even know it. It is clear that most posting here don't even understand what the issue was. After all...... it does take a village.

and she had to justify why she didn't want to sit at home and bake cookies for her "man."

17. She said she didn't want to sit home and bake cookies after she got questioned for what she was doing.

How was that not clear?

It must have been a shock to her system to end up in Arkansas in that era, with all those nice southern ladies offering pointed commentary on her femininity.

in baking a batch of her recipe for chocolate chip cookies and taking it to a group that had many conservative republicans in it. I laughed to myself as they unbeknownst to them ate and enjoyed the "Hillary Cookies". I think maybe it is time to dig out that recipe and do that again for my secret little joke.

She's tough though and has a blueprint in front of her of the crazy she is going to have to deal with not only in the G.E. - but if she wins.

8. And fast-forward - Bloomberg accuses her of "nods, and nods, and nods..."

At about 1:00 the nodding part is all over and they just blather on and on about politics (just plain old insipid blather) so no need to watch beyond 1:00. They claim it isn't doctored video (presumably meaning that its not on a loop and there isn't any repetition of segments, but that's just a guess on my part on what they mean).
