Biden-Based Character in Hillary Clinton Novel Labeled a ‘Fool’

Hey Hillary! We want to know your opinion about Joe Biden. Of course, Hillary Clinton like a typical politician has not revealed that in her many interviews nor in her hardly read biographies. However, in her recent novel, “State of Terror,” co-written with Louise Penny which means the latter wrote almost the entire book, we do get to find out her opinion of Biden in the guise of the very Biden-like character, President Doug Williams. The book review here gives a description of Williams as he appears in the novel. The GuardianThis is:

The US has recently been ruled by “delusional” Republican President Eric Dunn (his first name shared with one of Donald Trump’s sons), who was nicknamed “President Dumb” while running an administration of “near-criminal incompetence” that became “increasingly deranged”. The worst thing done by Dunn is to have “pulled out of a nuclear accord with Iran”, as Trump did. In Rodham Clinton and Penny’s efficiently suspenseful scenario, Dunn’s dumbness has increased the possibility of terrorist groups buying or stealing nuclear weapons and using them against the US.

The crazed, dangerous Dunn is followed into office by a Democrat, Doug Williams, who Ellen considers “rude” and a “fool”.

“Rude” and a “fool”  is how Hillary really views Biden/Williams . Of course, it’s not surprising she views Trump/Dunn in a dangerous, crazed manner. However, shouldn’t the Biden/Williams administration be described as one of “near criminal incompetence?”

The heroine of the novel Ellen Adams is a female Secretary-of-State, who was based on Guess Who.

All the antagonists are male, reasonably reflecting both America’s political history and Rodham Clinton’s own. It is not surprising that the book criticizes Washington misogyny. Ellen arrives from yet another long diplomatic trip and political foes and pundits are shocked at Ellen’s plane hair and her pantsuit. Secretary Adams is more human, warm and amusing than even Rodham Clinton’s admirers have often found her to be, although the side of the real politician that can seem reluctant to admit any wrong may be glimpsed in scenes justifying the use of non-official communications channels. (Revelation of HRC’s use of a private email server for state department business dogged her 2016 run.)
