I'm not so big on the evil thing - that's so subjective.
But do I think Hitler was a jolly nice, balanced chap right up until the second the first Jewish person was killed in Germany because of his laws?

Errrrrr, no.

Do I believe Clinton is evil in my understanding of the word? No, not at all. In that I agree with you, Trac. Politicians are deal-makers, deal-breakers, ultimate diplomats and occasionally even liars of necessity depending on what they perceive as the best interests of their constituency/ beliefs/ country. They also need to be at least in some degree ruthless, or at least ambitious and thick-skinned.

Clinton is not being judged by the standards used to judge Presidents of the past. She's being judged as a woman. IMHO.
But then she's towards the left of American politics and I'm a bleeding heart liberal. I'd be less likely to call the gender card on Sarah Palin or Ann Coulter. So I'm as biased as the next person. I just don't try to fuck them or kill them before I talk to them.
