Just when you thought you heard everything, Hillary actually comes to the defense of Saddam Hussein and his good record on women's rights. Like Ted Kennedy, had he not killed thousands of women and girls, they would be enjoying benefits in their old age. What is wrong with DemocRATS? They have neither a conscience nor a soul. A special place in hell waits for Teddy and Hillary and Bill and Carville.

We also have to do more on women's rights and roles. And I have been deeply troubled by what I hear coming out of Iraq. When I was there and met with women members of the governing councils and local--of the national governing councils and local governing councils in Baghdad and Kirkuk, they were starting to express concerns about some of the pullbacks in the rights that they were given under Saddam Hussein. He was an equal opportunity oppressor, but on paper women had rights; they went to school; they participated in the professions; they participated in government; and business and, as long as they stayed out of his way, they had considerable freedom of movement.

You know, I always hated that song.

Just heard "Moonlight Serenade", brought tears to my eyes.

My mother told me of the day that my father left, on a train, to go to Europe to fight the Nazis. He danced with her to that song on the platform of the train station, and she cried. He told her not to worry, he'd be back to marry her and start a family, he told her that he loved her, then he got on that train and went to an uncertain destiny. But, he came back, job done and ready to resume his life with my mother. My dad was a very courageous man, but no more than the men he served with. To this day I can remember the look both of them had in their eyes when they played "Moonlight Serenade". They danced and held each other like there was no tomorrow, because for them, there wasn't. That's way I love that song so.

Hmmmmmm. Hillary wants Saddam back in power. Hillary wants Bill back in power. A common denominator is abuse and rape of women. Hillary, you *itch, you have some explaining to do.
