There is plenty of brown-nosing in the latest batch of Hillary Clinton’s emails released by the State Department.
In a December 2010 email, President Obama’s national security advisor, Thomas Donilon, told Clinton, “Your grace, kindness, and leadership through these sad events has been amazing to watch.” Presumably, he was referring to her damage control on Wikileaks.
Anne-Marie Slaughter, current president and CEO of the New America Foundation and former director of policy planning in Clinton’s State Department, emailed Clinton with the subject line, “gorgeous pic on the front page of the NYT!” A picture of Hillary Clinton was on the front page of the New York Times on the date the email was sent.
Some fanmail was forwarded to Clinton from Huma Abedin, with the subject line, “A Love Letter to HRC.”
Ambassador Melanne Verveer emailed Clinton, showering praise on Bill Clinton.
“Your husband’s remarks in answer to questions from Schwab here in Davos today were exceptional in every way. He was reflective, expansive, knowledgeable, funny –and he looked terrific. He just gets better and better. Everyone seemed to be talking about him at once tonight.”
And in another email, Undersecretary Maria Otero tells Hillary Clinton she looks gorgeous.
In another, Ambassador Pamela White calls Clinton “so darn impressive.”
