WASHINGTON — Nobody plays the victim like Hillary.
She can wield that label like a wrecking ball.
If her husband humiliates her with a girlfriend in the Oval Office, Hillary turns around and uses the sympathy engendered to launch a political career. If her Republican opponent gets in her space in an overbearing way during a debate, she turns around and uses the sympathy engendered to win a Senate seat. If conservatives hold a Salem witch trial under the guise of a House select committee hearing, she turns around and uses the sympathy engendered to slip into the H.O.V. lane of a superhighway to the presidency.
Hillary Clinton is never more alluring than when a bunch of pasty-faced, nasty-tongued white men bully her. ...
Imagine the media reaction if a columnist were to say about 'a bunch of shiny black-as-midnight, nasty-tongued black men.'
Yet if Dowd were to walk through the midnight streets of Detroit, Flint or Lagos, she would taste exactly the same to the wildlife there as any conservative White woman.
