Hillary and the anger question – UPDATED

Quite honestly, I think too much is being made over Ken Mehlman’s bringing up Hillary’s anger. So, she’s angry, so what, this is news? We can’t tell, most of the time, just by looking at her?

But I love this quote, from Hillary, herself, on anger.

Six years ago, as a Senate candidate in New York, Clinton questioned the temperament of New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who was expected to be her Republican opponent.

Giuliani “gets angry very often,” Clinton said. “I don’t see the point in getting angry all the time and expending all the energy when we could be figuring out a better way to take care of people.”

Heh.

Btw, “take care of people…” that’s a very telling line. Is that really the job of government?

UPDATE: We’ve actually touched on this subject before – talking rather randomly about Democrat congeniality.

Meanwhile, Carlson gets herself all a-flutter over the supposed injustice in the world between how a man may comport himself and how a woman must do it. She goes on and on – I’m not going to bother quoting her – but here is a newsflash for Ms. Carlson: The world is not picking on Barbara Boxer for being an emotional and shrill inquisitor just because she is a woman. The truth is, we don’t like listening to men who carry on like insulted water fowl, either. In professional, public forums, it is not too much to expect our lofty “gentlemen and gentlewomen” in government to actually behave like gentlemen and gentlewomen. We don’t like Ted Kennedy’s loud and intemperate, red-faced bloviating, either. We don’t like Hillary’s shrill and gutteral rants – not because she is female, but because there is no place for that SOUND, or those manners, in public discourse, or at least there should not be. We don’t like Al Gore’s diaphramatic yawps. We don’t like Richard ben Veniste’s mobster-shrugging shoulders and nasal snarls.

There is nothing wrong in expecting human beings who have a position in the public trust to engage in “gentlemanly” and yes, “ladylike” behavior…

This is not her first inconsistancy.

UPDATE II California Conservative makes the very good point that maybe Hillary could just say something positive. For once.
