This is so embarrassing

Finally, a well-told story about what’s behind the cameras:

A steep descent brings Clinton’s plane to Charleston’s hilltop airport. After an appropriate wait, she steps from the plane and pretends to wave to a crowd of supporters; in fact, she is waving to 10 photographers underneath the airplane’s wing. She pretends to spot an old friend in the crowd, points and gives another wave; in fact, she is waving at an aide she had been talking with on the plane minutes earlier.

What most people don’t consider is the fact that this is normal, not exceptional, presidential politics. She didn’t learn to be this kind of an actor just after Indiana.

BTW, we all know where she learned the “point and wave” trick. Some people can pull it off brilliantly.

Some can’t.

Don Boudreaux had the best depiction of the what drives a person to such ignominy.
