The Teflon “Blonde”: Hillary Clinton and Her Lies, Half-Truths, Obfuscations

In the 1980s mob boss John Gotti wrangled his way out of so many prosecutions that the media deemed him the Teflon Don. In light of her habitual habit of trafficking in lies, half-truths, obfuscations, and smirking off important questions about potential malfeasance, Hillary Clinton has rightly earned the sobriquet of The Teflon “Blonde.” (Blonde is in quotes for it has been reported that Clinton is, in fact, a natural brunette. To maintain her blonde mane, Clinton reportedly “spent $2,500, in just two months, with Isabelle Goetz, her long-time hairstylist.) It’s common knowledge today that Hillary Clinton has “a truth problem.” She has repeatedly scored dismal ratings on polls in regard to trust. Not surprisingly, beyond Donald Trump’s coinage of “Lyin’ Hillary,” she has garnered a host of other sobriquets that allude to her dishonesty and lack of trustworthiness: Shillary and HiLIARY are but two of them. And now there’s The Teflon “Blonde.”
