None of this will surprise people here:
Secret Service agents: Hillary is a nightmare to work with
My favorite quote?
While running for US Senate, Hillary stopped at an upstate New York 4-H Club. As one Secret Service agent says, Hillary saw farmers and cows and then erupted. “She turned to a staffer and said, ‘What the f - - - did we come here for? There’s no money here.’ ”
I've had to work many service sorts of jobs over the years and she has always twigged my "abusive asshole ahead" radar...this just shows how accurate that sense is!
Comments
I read this recently, but it's six months old
Possibly true, fits the Clinton narrative many of us are familiar with, but the article is from last October and the anecdotes are decades old.
In a way, I suppose this sort of thing indicates the amount of baggage Hillary is dragging around compared to Bernie, who has also been in politics a long time.

Seems to fit who she is, esp. in exchanges with young voters
when she's miffed or challenged. Very much the I/me/my rather than We/us, together.

I don't like her
But I don't like the NY Post at least as much. This story makes me feel slimy.
A piece on Clinton that
A piece on Clinton that appeared in the NY Post, a Murdoch paper, and written by a "Fox News Contributor"—I can't say that sourcing provides much credibility to the story. As they say "consider the source".
Secret Service Animus against Clinton
Well, it definitely exists. One agent told several tales out of school during a visit he made to Okinawa (supporting then SecDef Rumsfeld) in 2003 or 2004..... His stories dated from his days detailed to her in the White House and the raw anger in his tone when telling them implied that she had treated him and his colleagues with enough disrespect/contempt to provoke a lasting resentment. My own limited personal experiences with her also led me to think she a Leona Helmsley-like attitude towards "the little people."

Consider the subject
I had not seen the comments by Hillary's security team previously. Still feeling TOP was objective, I shared the link there. At first I did not follow proper Diary procedure and was, justifiably, chastised. I was flagged and told I would not be allowed to participate until I acknowledged the reprimand. I acknowledged and corrected the oversight. I only received a single comment after my correction. It brought to mind, as did other pre-correction comments, a recent article by Taibbi: http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/college-kids-arent-the-only-on...
Here is a link to my TOP "diary" (originally titled Must Read with no text). Comments affirm Taibbi's article.

Hillary's subsequent behavior leads me to believe the article is a valid indicator of her personality.
