The UK Times' piece "The Vaulting Ambition of America's Lady MacBeth" by Gerard Baker is one of most withering and accurate portrayals of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, the presumptive Democrat candidate for the 2008 presidency. Baker recounts some of Clinton's more obvious acts of cynicism and political reconstructive surgery, as he would put it. His summary paragraph says it all:
"All politicians, sadly, lie. We can often forgive the lies as the necessary price paid to win popularity for a noble cause. But the Clinton candidacy is a Grand Deceit, an entirely artificial construct built around a person who, stripped bare of the cynicism, manipulation and calculation, is nothing more than an enormous, overpowering and rather terrifying ego."
Malkin's on it, too...
