You're a killer in a SUV with blinders on with your foot plastered to the floor... You believe in torture, war, and murder of innocent lives."

I like all these actresses, and most of their roles, but I like most...
...identify with Hillary’s experience of being perpetually humiliated by her faithless husband.)Morris’ analysis of the 2008 race is—to say the least—interesting. But unfortunately, the bulk of the book is spent obsessing about Senator Clinton’s shrill liberalism, ruthless ambition, and emotional instability. (Even at 57, Hillary hasn’t “found herself,” Morris writes impatiently).With sweeping assertions like, “Hillary Clinton has always wanted to be the first woman president of the United States...
