Maybe I'm too dumb to get the point of the article but was the journalist saying that her experience as the First Lady was valuable or overrated? Or was the article more informative and objective than a yay or nay article.

Either way, I'm not surprised that the NY Times saw it more important to talk about Hillary's First Lady experience than other important matters at hand...whatever they may be.

8 years with a front seat to history??

Kinda like a Dead Head becoming a Rock Star because he' had a front seat to a lot of concerts...so he know's what a show should look and feel like???

Anyone arguing that Laura Bush is qualified to be President?

Unless you're the one making the decisions, you don't know.

Nice job getting a clearance.

I was a Plant Manager for a Fortune 500 Company for 7 years. My wife is an intelligent, educated, capable woman. We discussed many issues that occurred at the plant during that 7 years. My wife is not a Plant Manager.

I've got a piano in my living room, but I can't play it woth a damn. Same concept as the dead head getting to be a rock star.

Hillary, in all seriousness, has no experience. She'd been claiming "35 Years of experience"........................as what ? a wife, first lady, attorney, short term senator ???

If sipping tea with now deceased Bhutto is foreign policy experience, then I suppose the time I shook hands with John McCain at his book signing gives me the same experience.

Now that she's being asked to explain her "Experience" she's rewriting her resume much like a college graduate.

Objective: Become President of the United States.

Experience:

Worked two summers as an intern for a no name judge in Arkansas.
President of the Phi Beta Ki Sorority at Welsley College.
Passed Bar exam on second attempt.
Married Ass clown that later became President of the United States.
Attempted to redefine "First Lady" as "Vice President"

Considering the experience she's claiming...

Monica Lewinsky for VP!

First of all, I don't see the issue of who is going to be the leader of this great nation as anything other than of the utmost importance. Everything from Iraq and Afghanistan to taxes to how the Constitution is interpreted (eg Supreme Court appointments) rests on who is our next leader. To me, there is no greater matter at hand. Not to be a nagging bitch but with an active duty husband those matter a great deal to me.

Regarding the article - I read it as saying Hillary is trying to blow smoke up our asses with regard to her "experience." Note that throughout she is called Mrs Clinton not Ms or her full name except for the first line of the article. Madeleine Albright was accorded more respect by the author than was Mrs Clinton.

Loved the Favre parody. It was excellent and explains everything if you are a Clinton fan which I am not.

Simply being married to somebody does not make you ready to lead a damn thing and few know that better than I do. Hillary is not as smart as me and that's a problem for her and anyone who has gone down the Rose Garden path with her. Shame on her and shame on them.

I'm sure she was right in there, protecting those secret service agents.

I wanna see a race between Huckabee and Hilary. Then Hilary can run ads that Huckabee doesnt have enough experience
