over morning tea: someone show the chick in the pantsuit the door
Morning thoughts before I actually do something resembling work today; listening to the pundit class on my favorite cable news channel, one would think that the race for the Democratic nomination for president was still a jump ball being tossed up by a referee standing in the middle of a Shell gas station – with buzzwords like ‘gas prices’ and ‘working class whites’ and ‘delegate math’ being regurgitated faster than the rising price of light sweet Saudi crude – even tho Barack Obama has pretty much nailed down the pledged delegate lead no matter what happens between now and Denver.
And maybe it’s just me – but I keep wondering when we’re going to wake up and say enough of this.
Aside from the fact that I’ve lost any and all respect I ever had for Hillary or Bill Clinton over the last couple of months, or the fact that her blatant pandering (read: will say anything to get votes) is simply more of the same old politics – what gets me is that people are still dumb enough to buy it – and that shouldn’t surprise me because this is the same electorate which sent Bush/Cheney back for another four years after it was beyond obvious that the train was coming off the tracks. But if we’re to believe anything? The new swing voter group in this election is poor white folk.
Despite the fact that you can lose this group in a general election and still win the presidency (women and people of color actually make up more of the voting population these days), it would seem as tho the fate of the country is in their hands – and that should scare everyone.
I hate conspiracy theories, but can anyone really tell me that the ‘big issue’ facing America is what some crazy Chicago preacher has to say, or whether or not Obama wears a flag pin? Tho according to our mainstream media, it is.
But why don’t they look at this one? Why does Hillary Clinton run away from every shred of her femininity, and why does she treat that as a weakness, and why does she act like she’s a boilermaker drinking steelworker who can ‘feel your pain’ and who understands that 20 bucks is a lot of money to a lot of people – even tho she’s sitting on a 109 million dollar bank account, went to Wellesley College and Yale Law and once sat on the board of WalMart?
Who is this person anyway I wonder; and as a woman, I’m really starting to get offended by this latest incarnation of the ‘Hillary Clinton Blow Up Doll - Strap On Included’
I accept that I’m going to be lied to and pandered to by politicians in order to get my vote, but would it be too much to ask that she wear a dress every once in a while and not act like she’s got a penis swinging between her legs? I mean – okay Hill, we all get it – you’re a working class middle class stiff like the rest of us – but you’re not a man and last I heard we don’t have “testicular fortitude” and a smart man is desirable to have around - not a pansy — and we’re talking about running the country here, not your waning libido.
It’s too bad your experience at Wellesley didn’t teach you to be proud of the fact that you were born female and that that was an asset and not a disadvantage the way it did for me. But a quick fashion tip babe? Lose the pantsuit. You’ve already lost the nation.
