A Role Model from Hell

Yahoo News carries an Associated Press story about VP Joe Biden campaigning for Hillary Clinton.
Joe Biden is offering a powerful testimonial for Hillary Clinton, saying having the first female president will have a major impact on women and girls across America. He says, "It will change their lives."
Clinton will be an amazing role model for women and girls. She has modeled the following exemplary behaviors: In the pursuit of your career goals, remaining married to a serial philandering husband is worth the trade-off. Being casually sloppy with national security secrets is just fine. Lying about things we all heard the FBI Director say is normal, appropriate behavior.

Interning at a Communist law firm is a good career move. Amateurs can make a killing in the futures market. Repudiating a trade deal you helped negotiate shows flexibility. Selling access to your government office in return for contributions to your family foundation is good.

There is more, but as the Brits say, that will do to be getting on with. You bet, Joe, Hillary is one fine role model for some Mafia don's favorite daughter, she's a latter-day Lucretia Borgia without the charm.
