Timothy Noah at Slate has an article debunking the myth of Hillary, She-Of-All-That-Experience.
Key Quote:
"...various colleagues have argued (see here, here, and here) that Clinton has sufficient experience under her belt to be president. I agree, but that's not the right question. The more urgent question is: Where the hell does she come off claiming superior experience?"
Italics mine. It's the key issue she has run the base of her primary campaign on. Timothy argues, as I have frequently, that being First Lady doesn't count as experience, at least not as she argues it. I'm not denigrating the position or her gender, but fast forward some years, would anyone buy that Laura Bush is an acceptable candidate because of her experience?
