Her Cross to Bear (Hillary's new jewelry)

I'm not sure when this started, but a crucifix cross* appears to have become a regular part of Hillary Clinton's wardrobe.

She wore a gold one July 20, for a speech criticizing advertising directed at children. No picture available.) And she wore the diamond-studded one pictured above to the News last week. A Google Images search doesn't seem to turn up any others, though whenever you think you've noticed something new about Clinton, her aides usually produce rock-solid evidence that it has always been thus.

Clinton's Christianity, while never exactly lapsed, has rarely been forefront; noticing the jewelry doesn't strike me as (quite as) frivolous as reporting on her hairstyle. (He said defensively.)

Is it, perhaps, a sign that her faith may be a bit more in the foreground as 2008 approaches?

*Commenters have politely alerted me that a crucifix is a cross with a representation of that guy -- what's his name again? -- attached.

[smokinleroy]

As one of the comments following the article state, she also keeps a Star of David and a crescent moon on hand for appropriate moments.

She'll ditch it when it no longer seems in "fashion" among focus groups. More Clinton fakery.

[cardinal4]

Her faith is in Saul Alinsky. The cross is in front of the hammer and sickle..

[gridlock]

Show of hands....

Who here doesn't think this is a cynical political manipulation?

[bmwcyle]

Where does she keep the hammer and sickle?

[Excellence]

She will wear whatever she thinks will help get her elected.

[gridlock]

This is Hillary!'s equivalent of the twenty-pound Bible Bubba used to lug to and from church.

[Dilbert San Diego]

She said recently that she "has always been a praying person" or word to that affect. And then Democrats such as her will say they are religious too, and that their religious and spiritual beliefs are that we have to take care of the poor, etc.


I think it's fine if Hillary and other Dems have religious beliefs,but they come across as insincere, as just a political manuver to talk about religion and spiritual matters, when these are the folks who scream the loudest about separating church and state.

[mkjessup]

I'm astounded that the lying b*tch hasn't started dissolving like most vampires do when a Cross gets too close to them.

[gaijin]

It's going to backfire and make real Christians angrier than anythink else she's ever done before.

I HOPE she continues this!

[GunnyHartman]

Here is her necklace after the 2008 election.

[COUNTrecount]

Wearing a cross and let's not forget her cross to bear....The Clinton Legacy.

[TC Rider]

Nah, she's converted to Islam.

Her new Islamic name is 'Seldom Bin Lade'.

[doesnt suffer fools gladly]

She'd wear a swastika if she thought it would help her.

"She said recently that she "has always been a praying preying person"

The DBM covered for the Beast again, so I fixed it....

[theDentist]

Another lurch for votes...

[edpc]

>i>Where does she keep the hammer and sickle?

Very close....and likely within....her cold heart.

[Robert A Cook PE]

When was the Newsweek cover prominently displayed across the nation with her hands folded in beatific preyer (er, prayer.)

[hoagy62]

I'm surprised she doesn't burst into flame if a Cross touches her.

[ichabod1]

And then Democrats such as her will say they are religious too, and that their religious and spiritual beliefs are that we have to take care of the poor, etc.

And a woman's right to choose!
