But he question of sources arises because so many anti-Clinton sources have been pure fabrication.

Also, a central element of "truthiness" is the dwelling on, and circulating, personal impressions of people's character. Unlike the Hollywood access tape or a tweet claiming Miss Venezuela made a porn tape, or the public mockery of a reporter's disability, most of the so-called dirt on Hillary's personality comes from second and third-hand sources. Someone remembers her roommate told her that her cousin worked for Hillary and she could be a *****.

As far as responses to Bill's accusers, I give wounded wives a lot of leeway in such matters. If she called Monica a "bimbo," I don't hold that against her. (I was astonished at Lucy's vilification of Hillary on the ground she did not leave Bill.) The affairs should count against Bill.

And above all, I don't understand why Hillary's grousing about Bill's affairs should be put on par with Trump's history of women, including wives. Wait, did I say on par? I really wonder why his transgressions and outright damning behavior were dismissed by voters who found Hillary's character wanting.  Could some of this just be gendered judgment?  Women can't do it?

In general, women do not get a pass for being "unlikeable".

Women are "Bitchy".  Men are "aggressive".

Women "look old".  Men are "distinguished".

Women are "fat".  Men have a "dad's body".
