The great timing of Hillary Clinton’s dumb comments http://t.co/6rQi8gFqHs

Never fear, Twitchy friends. Smartypants Ezra Klein is here to explain away Hillary “The Struggle” Clinton’s latest gaffes on the book trail. She’s “rusty,” you see. Dealing with reporters and stuff is confusing and scary … to an inveterate political animal, former First Lady, former U.S. Senator, and former Secretary of State.
Genius Klein sees strength in Clinton’s rusty, crusty miscues of course:
But Clinton’s string of highly public, vaguely embarrassing interviews speak to one of her real advantages: she can spend the next two years relearning how to run a national campaign. Her competitors can’t.
Yeah, that’s it.
@jpodhoretz Its a 'learning curve'.

@jpodhoretz "Relearning' how to run a good campaign? Because it's obvious this is a talent she possesses?
Wow.

Hillary Clinton has been a major American political figure for 22 years, Ezra. 22 years. http://t.co/xfJyacpQkS
