"...A dark soul?" Oh really???


I'm intrigued with New York Daily News' columnist Michael Goodwin, and his reference to Hillary Clinton as one having a "dark soul."

Goodwin's column is fine, so far as it goes.

My intrigue is found in the reality that, for some, the notion of either one, or both of the Clintons being people of this sort, is actually news.

For most of the 1990's, many Americans (obviously a minority of us back then) were put-off at the Clintons' dishonesty, tasteless manipulating of facts and rhetoric, and willingness to "use" and "wound" anybody in their path, in order to acheive whatever they needed to acheieve in the moment.

Only now, now that other Democrats are the intended objects of their nastiness, have so many people begun to pay attention to their nastiness....
