Wow, Hillary Clinton is a real diva. Sheesh, what a horrible person.

I'm going to guess she followed up with, "I AM big, it's the politics that got small ..."

Oh wait, she never said that at all. Here's the story:

In the latest batch of nearly 4,000 emails released Wednesday from her time at the State Department, Clinton expressed frustration in a 2010 note to longtime aide Huma Abedin over not being able to place a call to then-Rep. Diane Watson (D-Calif.), who had announced her retirement.

“I’m fighting the [White House] operator who doesn’t believe I am who I say and wants my direct office line even [though] I’m not there,” a seemingly exasperated Clinton wrote.

“I just have [sic] him my home [number] and the State Dept [number] and I told him I had no idea what my direct office [number] was since I didn’t call myself,” the now-Democratic presidential front-runner continued.

“I just hung up and am calling [through] Ops like a proper and properly dependent Secretary of State — no independent dialing allowed.”

Golly, it sounds to me like she actually thought it was funny. But what do I know? I'm not a deep insider who can tell that Clinton's a bitch on wheels with a royal attitude to rival Queen Elizabeth.
