There are a host of reasons for sensible (or even just sane) Americans to wish that Her Imperial Majesty Hillary I, Dowager-Empress of Chappaqua, Formerly Known as Hillary Clinton, would just shut up and go away. The woman has a sense of self-entitlement that dwarfs the Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall, she can't stay out of the public eye or (worse) out of the public's hearing, and yet trying to come up with anything she has said since she was a Goldwater Girl that makes any real sense is like looking for a strand of hay in the world's biggest stack of needles.
In the latest, Her Imperial Majesty took to X to upbraid Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy on the ages of the DOGE team members that will be upgrading the nation's aviation system. Secretary Duffy turned around and politely but decisively skewered her.
Madam Secretary, with all due respect, “experienced” Washington bureaucrats are the reason our nation’s infrastructure is crumbling. You need to sit this one out. pic.twitter.com/6IhE5xLxV8

BOOM. Bullseye!
While Her Imperial Majesty is trying to extricate herself from this field of rakes she has wandered into, let's cast our optics over a few details of the plank in her eye that she is ignoring to criticize the mote in Sean Duffy's eye.

First, is the age issue. Her Imperial Highness, I would remind you, belongs to a political party that has advocated for giving 16-year-olds the vote, and who adopts as a truism that 12-year-olds are competent enough, and should be allowed to, have their wedding tackle permanently removed. And, I would remind the Dowager-Empress that her own husband has suffered from a wandering eye - and wandering other things - with, for example, very young White House interns.
Also, as the new Secretary of Transportation aptly points out, the best argument for bringing outsiders, even young outsiders, in to audit and cut the waste from these systems is simply this: We have driven the old model until the wheels came off. The current federal apparatus is feather-bedded to a fare-thee-well, a playground for the corrupt, and a horrendous labyrinth into which taxpayer dollars disappear and from which a few pennies on the dollar occasionally emerge to serve some actual purpose.
Yeah, let's bring in some brilliant young outsiders because Her Imperial Majesty's system is old and busted. And Mrs. Clinton, who the voters rejected in favor of Donald Trump in his first go-around, is the poster child for everything that is wrong with that system.
