Hillary on Parade
Steyn Online ^ | 17 Mar 2018 | Mark Steyn

Posted on 03/19/2018 2:36:28 PM PDT by Rummyfan

A Happy St Patrick's Day to all our Irish readers at home and abroad. Leaving New York after my telly exertions last night, I got momentarily caught up in the parade line-up, but managed to extricate myself before having to sing "If You're Irish, Come Into the Parlor".

But enough about me; what could be more Irish than Hillary Clinton? Three years ago she was inducted into the "Irish America Hall of Fame". I'm not sure I'd ever heard of that until today, but as an authentic son of Erin I strongly object to the Hall of Fame helping Hillary put the sham in shamrock. She has English, Welsh and Scottish blood coursing icily through her veins, but not a drop of Irish. Perhaps that's why her blarney is so clunky and heavy-handed. At any rate, it's seventeen years since Mrs Clinton's first political campaign - when a sitting First Lady decided to run for the Senate in a state she'd never lived in. In that time, she's gone from presidential spouse to senator to president-presumptive to Obama roadkill to State Department airmiles queen to deleter extraordinaire and and president-presumptive 2.0 to world-touring sore loser.

After her comments in India, I see that even Dems want to leave her over there - she's already got all the Nehru jackets. But, with hindsight, a lot of her subsequent foot-in-mouth campaign style was visible in this St Patrick's Day column from 2000, back when she was having difficulty juggling gay and non-gay Irishmen. (That turn-of-the-century Hibernohomophobia seems to have abated somewhat - the current Taoiseach is a gay guy from India. Not sure what the Wolfe Tone types would have made of that, but Trump seems to dig him):

If she was about to walk into an open manhole, would you warn her?

“......she was having difficulty juggling gay and non-gay Irishmen.”

How can you tell an Irishman is gay?

He prefers women over whiskey!

I would lubricate the manhole to ensure complete penetration.

The gay Irish-Americans ought to have an annual Oscar Wilde parade on his birthday (Oct. 16th) and let the Irish Catholics have St. Patrick back. I don’t think St. Patrick had a positive take on homosexuality.
