Hillary Clinton: bravest person in America? You betcha! But don't take my word for it. Here's John Podesta, Chair of Hillary for America, in an email sent out this morning: "If anyone else faced the constant barrage of insults and attacks that Hillary endures everyday, they would quickly and happily squirrel away in a cabin hidden somewhere in the Rockies. Not Hillary. Her default setting is resilience."
Huh: that's funny. I can think of millions of Americans who served in Iraq, Afghanistan and other insalubrious locales who didn't run and hide despite facing "barrages of attacks" that some might say were even worse than the slings and arrows poor Hillary has suffered.
Many of those brave Americans still show the scars of their sacrifice. Many didn't return at all. But never mind: everyone knows that it's all about Hillary's courage under fire.
And never forget: she's doing it for the children.
Note: if the late, great John Denver were around, maybe he could do a new version of one of his hits and call it Rocky Mountain Hide.
Note segundo: If things continue to go downhill for Hillary, there could come a point at which, despite being the bravest American, she will be in the market for that Rocky Mountain cabin. Does anyone know if Ted Kaczynski has listed his shack on Airbnb?
