I'm calling bullsh** on the media's portrayal of Hillary Clinton.
"The private Hillary is as warm and charming a woman as anyone could conjure up. The public Hillary sometimes seems brittle, with the judgment of a raging rhinoceros," writes fellow syndicated columnist Ann McFeatters.
I don't mean to pick on McFeatters. Everyone (in the media) says the same thing: Hillary Clinton is so awesome one-on-one or maybe one-on-six, in private. For example, Mark Leibovich says she is "quite human and funny" in private.
