Hillary’s Sliding, Chelsea’s Chiding
As a registered Democrat, I haven’t been too impressed with Hillary Clinton over the years, nor during the primaries. She’s shown quite a bit of desperation lately, and I think this article highlights some of that desperation.
Hillary’s desperation is an obvious salient point, but what I found most intriguing about the article was a quote from Chelsea that was buried midway through the article. The harsh words were in response to an inquiry about whether the Lewinsky scandal was damaging to her mother’s credibility:
“Wow, you’re the first person actually that’s ever asked me that question in the, I don’t know maybe, 70 college campuses I’ve now been to, and I do not think that is any of your business”
Well said, Chelsea. Planning on running anytime soon?
(Also, kudos to the numbnuts who asked that question. If there were a Darwin Award for stupidity, that question most certainly deserves an honorable mention. How do a husband’s infidelities effect his wife’s credibility?)
Bush expresses sorrow over U.S. deaths in Iraq | Reuters
Publicly, President Bush has expressed sorrow over the number of troop casualties in Iraq. Still, he attempts to convince himself, and the rest of us, that this was the right war at the right time:
“One day people will look back at this moment in history and say ‘thank God there were courageous people willing to serve’ because they laid the foundation for peace for generations to come”
It makes one question if, privately, he regrets this decision and sees the gross miscalculation he and his administration made. Does he lament his errors behind closed doors, or has he so firmly convinced himself with his own public rhetoric that he has done the right thing, that there is no room for consideration that things may have gone horribly wrong?
Soldiers are brave and selfless. They are heroes. It is sad that our president’s decisions have cost us 4,000 of these heroes.
