Mean Girls
Ever wonder what our country would be like had Hillary Clinton won back in 2008?
I am not a Hillary Fan by any stretch. The caricature of her in the Saturday Night Live skit says it all-"shrew, harpie". But after her election bid was abandoned by the hoards of feminists across the country, I began to feel for her.
I felt sorry about how tired she always looked, bags and dark circles.
Her clothes were always a little frumpy, with the too short pant suits revealing stumps of ankle.
Her hair, never cover girl polished, looked even more helmet like then ever.
And after New Hampshire, she developed a crazy, desperate look in her eyes.
When Mr. Smooth moved in and started picking off primaries, with his reed thin look, cool demeanor and easy verbal cadence, how could our girl compete? Any woman embarrassed by the popular guy in high school; the football player, the class president, the cute guy in Algebra who blew her off, any woman who had "been there" understood Hillary at that moment.
And Sarah Palin, who played head cheerleader to Hillary's president of the math club, how could Hillary compete with her? Now, I know that Ms. Palin's political abilities are still up for debate, thanks to our impartial media, but the woman is gorgeous and smart-what a combo!!!
Back to my question, what would our country be like if Hillary had won?
At least we knew where she stood on issues. At least we knew she could make a decision.
As for the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, check out another hot, smart chick's opinion; Ms. Peggy Noonan's Wall Street Journal op/ed from Saturday:
"The president is overexposed, yet on some level the picture is blurry. He's in your face on TV, but you still don't fully get him. People categorize him in political terms: "He's a socialist," "He's a pragmatic progressive." But beyond that disagreement, things get murky. When you think about his domestic political decisions, it's hard to tell if he's playing a higher game or a clueless game. Is he playing three-dimensional chess, or is he simply out of his depth? "

So what am I saying fellow meat lovers? That real life is just an extension of high school? Better the devil you know? Be careful what you hope for?
Yes, Yes and yes!!!
Eggs and bacon, coffee and rye toast with butter for breakfast!
Thank you Mr. Cow
