Hillary: Women Leaders Less Corrupt

"New York Senator Hillary Clinton touted the ethical standards of female leaders like herself on Monday, telling a forum at New York University that women in government are less corrupt than their male counterparts.

"Research shows the presence of women raises the standards of ethical behavior and lowers corruption," Clinton told the Vital Voices' Women's Global Leadership Summit, in quotes picked up by NYU's student newspaper, the Washington Square News."


This "research" doesn't help explain the recent rash of news stories about female teachers having sex with students. Not to mention how ridiculous it sounds for Hillary to hold herself up as a paragon of moral virtue!
