Honestly that was the only appropriate response since a major part of her mission there is to represent women’s rights to a part of the world where rape is part of daily life, but still rawr hiss spit
No, the appropriate response when you’re secretary of state is a little more dignified than that. Could you ever picture Kissinger reacting like that, especially with that body language?
Bill would make a kick ass secretary of state if he was eligible. He’s so much more likeable.
Nope. Don’t get me wrong I’m not a fan of Hilldog, but that response was exactly how she needed to respond.
Clinton was also due have a private meeting with women who have suffered rape and other atrocities as part of her goal to raise international awareness and get both Congo and the U.N. to punish those responsible.
“We believe that there should be no impunity for the sexual and gender-based violence committed by so many. There must be arrest and prosecutions and punishments,” she said.

Women are practically viewed as subhuman in that part of the world, and that is part of the reason why she is there. So when someone asks the top foreign diplomat from the US what her husband, who hasn’t held office in over 8 years, thinks of a current issue, the only proper response is to show the audience that that question was all sorts of inappropriate.
Women in that part of the world are expected to have a dignified response to being fucking raped. Seriously, it’s practically looked at as a man’s right. If she were to show any tolerance for being undermined as a woman it would blow the whole purpose of her trip out of the water.
If the women were hot and the country wasn’t ruled by tribal warlords i could see it becoming a tourist destination for that. Like Thailand, but you don’t have to pay!
Keep in mind that Kinshasa is AIDS ground zero. Seriously. First documented HIV infection was there in 1959. Then the virus traveled across Africa down the Kinshasa highway and out into the world. Not ideal sex tourism background.
OK MOBOOST.
Just trying to save you from the Congolese death dick.
Oh, yes, because Kissinger was such a sweetiepie.
Jay shes 61, she’s prolly already passed through menopause. :picard:
Def with fry on this one. She didn’t flip out by any means.
Ugh, it is so hard to listen or look at her smugness in her pantsuit.
Is it possible that there was a translation issue for the person asking the question. I read somewhere that later they meant Obama, not clinton.
Yes, yes I could see Kissinger do that…
I think she had a good response because that is exactly what needed to be said, however the delivery of that repsonse could have been a little better and a little less “ghetto-chic”.
I can’t. Crazy people are excellent at hiding how crazy they are.
Damn, she is really letting herself go
+1
At that point she really just have just finished it off with the 3 snap thing.
Shes probably irritated from the N Korean embarrasment. Talk about stepping on toes.
