Hillary Clinton is such an obvious phony that even she has been forced to acknowledge it, using the indirect language that she is “not a natural politician” like, say Bill Clinton or Barack Obama.  This is a case of putting lipstick on a pig, trying to make a her awkwardness a badge of authenticity, as if anyone could believe that her problem is that she is not a calculating politician.

Her basic problem is that her mental calculations about what she thinks she should be doing are all too visible to the casual observer.  There is a disconnect, a lack of consistency in her facial expressions, body language, words, and context.

The latest obvious example is her mimicry of a bobble-head doll, nodding and nodding and nodding for more than three minutes as a spokesman tells us all how wonderful mosques and Muslims are as allies in the war on terror.
