What Is The Color Of The Sky In Her World?

Peggy Noonan thinks that Hillary Clinton gets a pass from the press.

Republicans know—they see it every day—that Republican candidates get grilled, sometimes impertinently, and pressed, sometimes brusquely. And it isn’t true that they’re only questioned in this way once they announce, Scott Walker has been treated like this also, and he has yet to announce. Republicans see this, and then they see that Mrs. Clinton isn’t grilled, is never forced to submit to anyone’s morning-show impertinence, is never the object of the snotty question or the sharp demand for information. She gets the glide. She waves at the crowds and the press and glides by. No one pushes. No one shouts the rude question or rolls out the carefully scripted set of studio inquiries meant to make the candidate squirm. She is treated like the queen of England, who also isn’t subjected to impertinent questions as she glides into and out of venues. But she is the queen. We are not supposed to have queens.

It’s true.  No one has ever written a nasty thing about Hillary Clinton ever.

Oh, by the way, if Ms. Noonan thinks we are not supposed to have queens, she’s obviously never been to Key West over Fantasy Fest week.  Honey, the place is crawling with them.

HT to Melissa.
