Hilarity ensues

One of my pet peeves is people who say they don't like Hillary Clinton but never have a good reason why. Their response is usually to wait a few seconds and say, "I dunno...she seems...like a b*tch."
Michael Malice's long-awaited commentary on the phenomenon disputes the argument that she's only criticized because she's a strong woman. He then lists other strong women who aren't subject to the same derision. Well, of course they aren't -- they weren't as public and powerful as Hillary.
Also, Hillary rose to power with her husband, and many decided that it meant she didn't deserve to run anything. As if an intelligent, driven woman with a law degree and years of public policy work should go to waste.
Malice has a rationale for his own dislike for Hill:

"One problem--and this is telling--is that it is impossible to visualize her sitting on a recliner, in pajamas, watching a sitcom and having a beer. She is not a human being in the sense of relaxing and letting her guard down. She is always thinking of The Cause."

People who do things because they believe it's the right thing to do always subject themselves to suspicion and derision by those who can't imagine that one could do something that isn't in self-interest. "Oh, she's into causes." So what? Some of the activists who've worked tirelessly for what seemed like petty causes at first have saved our sorry arses.
As for having a brewsky with Hill, I've heard the same commentary about Al Gore and John Kerry, that they wouldn't make good pals. I don't want our leaders to necessarily be my pal. Bill Clinton might have made a great pal, and the Republicans sure don't like him.
