"Without endorsing any of Hillary Clinton's behavior, or minimizing any
unfairness experienced by her husband's sex partners or alleged victims,
it seems to me that asking a man or woman to react rationally and
sympathetically to a person just as they're revealed to be having an
affair with their spouse, or accusing their spouse of a crime, is to
demand superhuman self-control and circumspection. Few could do it. In
the first case, who wouldn't deeply resent a spouse's cheating partner,
and be inclined to see them in the most unfavorable light? In the latter
case, who wouldn't believe that their spouse was being wrongly accused,
especially if the spouse really did have powerful enemies trying to
destroy him?"
Yes, she behaved badly. But under the circumstances, how many people would've managed better? And how is it relevant to the job she may seek?
