Nah, you're not in the "exceptionally stupid" you're in the "exceptionally brainy chicks I'd love to make sweaty animal noises with" group.
As far as the e-mail and other scandals are concerned the need to investigate such things is extremely important and I've never faulted that those investigations occurred. There were irregularities in the way things were handled, and Benghazi certainly looked like kind of a mess of beurocracy when it is broken down minute by minute. I'm no Pollyanna Clinton worshipper. It's also likely true that Clinton's first response was to protect her political backside; something she probably does instinctively after this many years of constant attack by the right.
Our political system is contentious and breeds the sort of people who thrive in that cesspool. It's Game of Thrones with less Dragons and Tits, but the same number of Cunts and Pricks. Anyone, Clintons included, who can survive and prosper in the toxicity of such a life has some dark stain on their character. Anyone.
But that doesn't, as some would have us believe, make them "all the same". Clinton is self-serving, money-driven, and willing to compromise personal ethics in the interest of the greater goal. Just like damn near every other person on the planet. I have to weigh my choice on whether I think she can effectively meet the biggest challenges our country faces along the way. Her foreign policy is sound and is equal parts diplomacy and iron fist. Her economic policies, especially if Bill is along for the ride, are also solid. And the MAIN reason I like her is that she's hard enough to break the stalemate in Washington that even Obama couldn't get around with all his "hope and change". Not because she's some sort of messiah, but because her enemies are fucking terrified of her.

Thank god I am oblivious to the opinions of others while caught in the blinding splendor of my own cleverness.
