Good Question

Quoth Hillary Clinton:

Why is there one standard for me and not for everybody else?

She's talking about the calls for her to release transcripts of the speeches Goldman Sachs paid her to give, but the question bears broader application.

For example, why is there one standard for Clinton and not for Edward Snowden, Chelsea Clinton, John Kiriakou et. al when it comes to handling classified information?

And why is there one standard for Clinton and not for Brian Williams when it comes to making up war stories about getting shot at?

And why is there one standard for Clinton and not for Killer Mike when it comes to discussing whether or not being a woman constitutes a qualification for the presidency?

Of course, the answer to all four questions is that she's Hillary Clinton and that the rest of us exist for the sole purpose of providing her with as much wealth and power as she may happen to desire.
