I’ve never been a Hillary Clinton fan but I totally sympathize with those snippy comments she made yesterday in Kinshasa, Congo. When a questioner asked her “Mr. Clinton’s” view of World Bank concerns about a multi-billion-dollar Chinese loan offer to the Congo, she got her back up and then some. “You want me to tell you what my husband thinks?” she said. “My husband is not secretary of state, I am. If you want my opinion, I’ll tell you my opinion. I am not going to be channeling my husband.” She could have ignored the implication but it’s fine that she didn’t. I feel her irritation, which makes the first time I’ve felt supportive of her in many a moon.
