All fair and good, and my comment was not directed primarily at you because you did not make the original insult. But have you similarly insulted McCain because of how he attained power? Or is that a low-blow that you find Clinton deserving of in particular?
I understand you don't agree with her policies or accomplishments. That can be stated without personal insult. But Hillary having attained the public eye by being first lady is no more or less serendipitous than McCain attaining the public eye because he was a POW.
Again, I take umbrage only because I don't think we will be crass enough around here to insult McCain for similar circumstances.
By the way, the insult is less to her than to the people of my home State of New York, by implying they are sheep who had their own collective wool pulled over their eyes. I may not live there anymore, but once a New Yawker always a New Yawker ... and it's never wise to insult a New Yawker.
