Hillary Rodham Clinton: An Australian Conversation
http://www.asialink.unimelb.edu.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0009/33300/HRC_transcript_ABC071110.pdf

I would like to point out this bit of a gem  

HILLARY CLINTON: You know, like many Americans when I was growing up, what I knew about Australia was great open spaces, lots of exotic flora and fauna, really hearty people, kind of like the wild west but with better beer

hehe  seriously though

LEIGH SALES: Alright, let's take our first question from Adrian McMillan.
ADRIAN MCMILLAN: Do you think politics has moved beyond a contest of ideas to a straight popularity contest?
HILLARY CLINTON: It's a good question. And it's always been a little bit of both and sometimes ideas are predominant and sometimes personalities are. It has to remain in a democracy a combination, otherwise I think it's hard for someone with the best ideas, who cannot communicate or connect with people to get elected, to implement those ideas and it's hard if all you have is a great personality and no ideas to govern. So, somehow there has to be a meeting of the minds. You know I believe strongly that we need balance and balance in mature democracies like ours requires that you have the core of ideas and plans and policies and that when you compete in the electoral system, you learn, if you don't already know how, better to communicate what you believe, so that people do have something of a road map as to what you will do should they vote for you. We have a very famous saying from one of our well-known political leaders in America, former governor of New York Mario Cuomo, who says that you campaign in poetry and you govern in prose. So, you get out there and you don't know what you're doing but you've got a great way to get people to vote for you and then you wake up the day after and you say oh my goodness, now what? It's like the dog catching the car. You have to get to work and actually implement a policy. So we need in today's very media-centric world people who can do both.
I mean I do somehow worry that in my own country, could Abraham Lincoln have been elected President in the 21st Century? You know he was awkward and gawky looking. He was so tall. He had what were called in those days "bouts of melancholia" which we might call depression. Could he have withstood not just the 24/7 news coverage, but everybody being their own reporter with a cell phone? You know, I don't know. And what are countries like mine or yours or any other losing out by if we don't take politics seriously enough to get beyond what is the flash and the celebrity part of it to really get into understanding who these people are and what they stand for.
So I hope it stays a combination and that we hold our elected officials to a standard where yes they have to be able to communicate but they also have to have a platform.

Feel free to keep her ... Or ... keep free to feel her ... Or ...

Damn it ... finders keepers ... She's all yours now!

Just don't let her photocopy your gun laws on her way to the UN!

OK, the first quote is funny. 

And I like the backhanded comment in the last line...

I find that to be a strange statement coming from her.  Has she separated herself from the Pres. that promised transparency and time lag to fully examine all legislation and then not only renigged, but went so far as to allow Ms P to rush the health bill through without even enough time to read the introduction and then top it off with a comment like just sign it ... you like it as you understand it?

And I don't want to dig too deep into it, but she is also an appointee that could make an entire debate go away with one simple piece of paper and an official statement, both of which he refuses to do.

Makes me question her sincerity!

Sledge ... Phil ... My only advice today is  Don't bend over for the soap ... or for any reason until after she leaves!!!
