Experience, what experience?

I don't know why Clinton keeps on bringing up experience. First, experience means nothing if you still make bad decisions (see John McCain). But what is all this experience she claims? She saw some stuff in the White House while Bill was president? She's been in the Senate slightly longer than Obama. I guess that's something.

One claim is that she participated in ensuring the Northern Ireland peace process. Nobel Laureate David Trimble dismisses her supposed contribution, saying Clinton was a "wee bit silly" for exaggerating the part she played. Though, his harsh words don't really help his point:

"So in a classic woman politicky sort of way I think she was active...She was certainly investing some time, no doubt about it. Whether she was involved on the issue side I think probably not." [emphasis mine]

Co-winner of the Nobel prize with Trimble, John Hume, has more positive things to say about Clinton. The difference between them may be more of a reflection of Clinton's perceived pro-Catholic position in the conflict.
