Did You Know Hillary Failed Her Bar Exam?
Until today I had no idea she'd failed it on her first try. Funny how the main stream media only tells you what they think you need to know.

MSM In No Rush to Reveal Hillary Flunked Bar Exam
If George W. Bush had gone to law school and later flunked the bar exam, you can imagine that fact would have become a virtual part of his name in the MSM, as in "George Bush, who failed the bar exam, today criticized a law that . . ."
But it came as news to me when Carl Bernstein mentioned on this morning's "Today" that Hillary flunked the Washington, DC bar exam back in the '70s. OK, I'm not the most knowledegable guy, and the fact of Hillary's failure is not news -- after years of hiding the embarrassment, she revealed it, en passant, in her ghostwritten 2003 "autobiography." Note: according to that book, during the same period Hillary took and passed the Arkansas bar exam. The pass rate in Arkansas was considerably higher than in DC.
I have to imagine that Hillary's failure comes as news to a good number of people. How does it jibe with Clinton's image as The World's Smartest Woman? And what does it say about the MSM that this fact has not been widely disseminated?
In any case, that revelation was far from the only unflattering thing that Bernstein had to say when speaking with Matt Lauer this morning to promote his new Hillary biography, A Woman in Charge. Let's preface this by mentioning that Bernstein is anything but a conservative hit man. The son of two parents with Communist Party affiliations, as he wrote about in this book, Bernstein is of course best known as Bob Woodward's WaPo Watergate investigation colleague. More recently, Bernstein has called for a Senate investigation of the Bush administration, and in the course of the interview this morning referred to the Bush presidency as a "disaster."
Among Bernstein's other comments today:
"This is a woman who has led a camouflaged life, and continues to."
Hillary's childhood was in "an abusive family situation. Her father humiliated and abused her mother. Her mother had a horror of a childhood."
"Bill Clinton's closest advisers, like Lloyd Bentsen and Donna Shalala, were adamantly opposed" to Hillary becoming head of the healthcare initiative.
At one point "Today" displayed a graphic with a quotation from the book: "As Hillary has continued to speak from the protective shell of her own making, and packaged herself for the widest possible consumption, she has misrepresented not just facts but often her essential self."
"I think that she has developed an inauthenticity that is perhaps her greatest political problem. . . Partly because of her self-invented biographical details, she does come off as inauthentic.
"There's not a sex act mentioned in the book. What is important is Hillary savaging the women that he was with. Forgiving Bill Clinton repeatedly through their married life, but not forgiving the women, which raises a very interesting question about her feminism.
Bernstein speaks of Hillary's "rather disingenuous explanation of her vote on the war."
All in all, an unflattering portrait of Hillary, sketched by a man with no apparent axe to grind. And keep that flunking factoid in mind next time you hear Hillary condescend to President Bush or others.

Re: Did You Know Hillary Failed Her Bar Exam?
I am curious to see how long it is allowed to stay in the news. I am sure the GOP will not use it against her in anti-clinton campaign messages. Yeah right!!!!

I guess you could use that against the hag, but from what I understand, many atty's don't pass it the first time.
She's a bish.

Too bad there is no exam to become a politician! The only current requirement is to be able to sling BS across the globe...

Re: Did You Know Hillary Failed Her Bar Exam?
Damn you for that mental image
See, I thought the title was "bra exam" and it's such a habit I couldn't help myself. It was horrible ... like a train wreck. I got this awful mental picture in my head, then a queasy feeling in my gut, followed by that weak-kneed, bent over, omg am I gonna make it to the can feeling. And now it's gonna take me a week to clean up the mess in the hall.
