What would Lincoln say?
"I don't think Don or Hillary would steal a red hot stove"

Shy
So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?

Mr. Lincoln said, "Hillary Clinton is very mad and made me promise to retract. I will now do so. I believe I told you that I didn't think she would steal a red-hot stove. I now take that back."

Jean Baker, in her Mary Lincoln biography, wrote:

"Female abolitionists and suffragists gained no respect from her; she believed them unwomanly creatures. She had no interest in obtaining the vote, intending instead to influence her husband."

That's the problem - statements made in books with no source footnotes as Eva Elisabeth as Gene C pointed out.
