Something maybe not that important that bugged me ..

[Jarqui]

I was looking into the Panama thing in Hillary's emails and came across this:

Philippe Reines says

"With 7ish months left, plenty of time to run up the score on total countries. 110 is a reasonable goal. Here are the 94 countries left to choose from (asterisks appear next to countries you visited prior to becoming SecState, but not since - so they would count): "

So I read that and said to myself "Man, what a dick. Sending childish crap like a country count to a Secretary of State of the United States. Like she doesn't have more important things to do or think about in her busy schedule, etc instead of fussing around with a silly country visited count and running up the score - as if that seriously matters compared to her serious duties."

Next email I see is a reply from Hillary:

"Fw: 22 Additional Countries ... Pis print."

My reaction: omfg

1. She was bagging countries to use the number for this prez run.

3. Oh, I know.

But 11 weeks or so before Benghazi, maybe she would have been wiser to keep her eye on the friggin' ball rather than the Oval Office.

2. did someone tell her she would win the presidency if she visited the most countries?

4. Maybe she was still trying to find those Bosnian snipers ....
