If we think it's bad now wait until Hillary Clinton runs for president.

At ten minutes after two, Mrs. Clinton made a regal entrance. Her hostess was Randi Weingarten, president of the union, who delivered a little sermon on class size.

Randi Weingarten lauded the federal government, "led by President and Mrs. Clinton" (we'll be hearing more of this), for-please follow-"getting more money for class size in New York." All the while, Mrs. Clinton nodded robotically. She didn't seem to be listening, particularly; rather, she was on auto-nod.
Then came Virginia Fields, Manhattan borough president, to sing the same class-size song. There were fully "twenty-seven students" in the typical New York classroom, a situation that no teacher could tolerate. Next up was a real-live teacher, who proclaimed herself, with giddy enthusiasm and pride, "fully certified!" The crowd burst into applause. The woman might as well have announced that she'd won the Olympic decathlon. She assured her listeners, from the front lines, that class size was all-determining.

Tom Junod recently devoted an entire piece in Esquire to Mrs. Clinton's physical appeal: "She has a sexy mouth, I think," it began. The First Lady looks markedly unlike her pictures of even two years ago. Gail Sheehy, a new Hillary biographer, has said, "I've heard from a number of people close to [Mrs. Clinton] that she's had a chin lift, eye tucks, and liposuction on her thighs and behind." Mrs. Clinton has a fabulously skilled makeover team in New York.

For these people-the core of the Democratic party, certainly in New York-Hillary Clinton is no ordinary politician. They love her. Really, truly love her. They look at her as Randi Weingarten did: with swoony, groupie, grateful eyes. She seems to represent all their political hopes and dreams, which is to say, all their hopes and dreams. After the crowd quieted, Randi Weingarten and Virginia Fields hugged each other. "That was good!" exclaimed one to the other. Yes, from their perspective, it was. Very good.

Inside and outside the classroom, the teachers' union will go all out for Hillary. They will throw campaign contributions at her, man the phones with unprecedented zeal and instruct their students of the importance of her candidacy and election to the White House.
