Bill Clinton was the headliner, but it was his wife Hillary Clinton who got a standing ovation in Washington today.

Hillary Clinton attended her husbands speech at Georgetown University which was the second of a four part series Bill Clinton is giving focusing on the essential elements of effective service and detailing events that have shaped his career.

Hillary Clinton seemed to surprise the crowd when she entered the hall, receiving a rousing reception from the audience, that included a standing ovation. Bill Clinton got a laugh when he mentioned his wife and possible 2016 presidential candidate at the top of his remarks.

I want to thank Hillary for coming with me today. Its been a long time, Clinton said, stopping for a moment for loud cheers. She hasnt had to sit through one of these in ages.

It seems that everyone wanted to take a picture of Hillary too:

Her remarks on Edward Snowden give Democrats a preview of the misinformation they can expect if they make her their standard-bearer.

Hillary Clinton's recent attack on Edward Snowden was cited by my colleague Peter Beinart as an example of her newfound ability to exude authenticity in public statements. "She said something some liberals will not likethat America needs to spy and that Snowdens motives are suspectbut which she undoubtedly believes," Beinart wrote. "It sounded authentic because her natural instincts are to see the world as a Hobbesian place and to defend Americas governing institutions against those on the right or left who would delegitimize them."

Beinart is right: There is every reason to believe Clinton authentically distrusts Snowden and his actions. So I concur with his analysis of those sentiments. But elsewhere in the same interview, Clinton spoke words that Democratic primary voters ought to take as evidence that she is a bullshitter. Mother Jones gives this account of Clinton's words:

Hillary Clinton didn't have to directly deal with Edward Snowden's leaks when she was secretary of state. Clinton had already stepped down from her post by the time the Guardian published its first revelations on the expansive scope of spying by the National Security Agency. But at an event at the University of Connecticut ... Clinton made it clear that she's no fan of the NSA leaker, insinuating that Snowden had cooperated with countries hostile to the United States and unintentionally aided terrorist organizations. "I don't understand why he couldn't have been part of the debate at home," she said.

Clinton questioned Snowden's intentions in fleeing the country before offerring his information to the public. "When he emerged and when he absconded with all that material, I was puzzled, because we have all these protections for whistleblowers," Clinton said, when the moderator asked if there had been any positive effects for security policy following the NSA leaks. "If he were concerned and wanted to be part of the American debate, he could have been."

This gets significant facts wrong. At best, Clinton is ignorant about federal whistleblower laws, and if we presume that she has the baseline knowledge needed to be competent in her former roles, she is willfully misleading her audience.

"I was puzzled," she said, "because we have all these protections for whistleblowers." The Freedom of the Press Foundation calls out her misinformation:

Contractors like Snowden lack the protections that federal employees are entitled to, and the government is free to retaliate against such people under the law. As Angela Canterbury, director of public policy at the Project on Government Oversight, has explained: There is a gaping loophole for intelligence community contractors. The riskiest whistle-blowing that you can possibly do on the government is as an intelligence contractor.

As for the idea that Snowden could've been "part of the debate" at home, rather than fleeing abroad:

Hillary Clinton's Unreliable Statements on Whistleblowing

Speaking at HIPPY USA's 25th anniversary dinner, Hillary Clinton said early childhood education has an important link to brain development.

Hillary Clinton said she's honored to be known as a "hippy" mom and soon to be a "hippy" grandma.

That's not a take on her lifestyle, but rather her longtime involvement with the organization Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters, or HIPPY.

Clinton gave the keynote address Monday night at the 25th anniversary dinner for the group, which promotes early childhood education and provides resources for parents to better educate and interact with their children at home before they begin kindergarten. Clinton helped establish the first HIPPY program in Arkansas three years before HIPPY USA was formally organized. The group was focused on early childhood development and learning "before it was popular," Clinton said. HIPPY now operates in 21 states and the District of Columbia.

"It is now wonderful to see so many people in so many walks of life talking about early childhood, talking about the importance of parents, particularly mothers, as a child's first teacher, and you're a big part of that," Clinton told the 300 attendees. "The reason that so many from elected officials to economists to education experts all over the country are finally catching on is because the evidence has become so compelling."

And Clinton's advocacy for early childhood education hasn't stopped since she helped bring HIPPY to the Natural State. Through the Clinton Foundation, the former first lady launched her "Too Small to Fail" campaign, which encourages parents to read, talk and sing to their children to help them learn more words at a younger age. Children who come from low-income families, Clinton said during her speech, learn 30 million fewer words on averagethan children from more affluent families.

One of the biggest obstacles Clinton said she faced in promoting HIPPY was convincing mothers that talking, reading and singing to their young children makes a difference.

"Now we know those kinds of interactions ... are literally building brains," Clinton said. "I'm excited because the more we learn about the importance of early childhood, the more we're going to be able to convince people across the political spectrum, wherever they live, that this is an investment worth making."
