Hillary Clinton brushed off a heckler who repeatedly tried to ask about her husband's sexual past during a town hall in New Hampshire on Sunday.
The woman, Republican state representative Katherine Prudhomme-OBrien, stood, yelled and waved her hands around in failed attempts to get the Democratic presidential candidate's attention. She wanted to confront the former secretary of state about President Clinton's alleged assault of Juanita Broaddrick and Kathleen Willey.
After the third try, Clinton finally acknowledged Prudhomme-OBrien and said, "You are very rude, and Im not going to ever call on you."
The crowd erupted in cheers of support.

Ultimately for the $40 million cost he produced a piece of third rate soft porn. Bill Clinton did lie under oath in civil matter that should have never been allowed to go forward in the first place. In fact the case itself was deemed to be frivolous.
It was pretty stupid of Bill, who is brilliant, to let himself get ensnared this way. But it is also stupid of WE, THE PEOPLE to tolerate this kind of investigative nonsense. No justice was served here. No point was made. It was an exercise in stupidity by the so-called "Elves" like Ann Coulter and whatever other miscreants whipped this up.
Such is the nature of "conservatism." The ideology is a scourge.

A huge contrast with other candidates I could name.

"As I read through some of these angry comments below, I cannot help but to think of another Republican woman, my personal hero Susan B. Anthony, and how she heard the exact same sort of things in her fight for the right of women to vote.....
This while she was interrupting and heckling a WOMAN!
