For the past eight years, we have seen Hillary use the power of the presidency (through her husband) to shield herself from real people and to live in a bubble where she can further her agenda without having to endure public scrutiny.
Well now that her husband is just a pathetic layabout and she is just the junior senator from New York, Hillary must now for the first time in her life be held accountable for her actions and to face people who were not hand-picked beforehand by staffers. When she got in front of the crowd at Madison Square Garden, she was facing real people and not flacks and lackeys. The reception she got that night was the same reception she would get from 90% of the rest of America and it was a beautiful thing to behold.
In a way, I am happy that Hillary was able to squeak out a win last November and take the senate seat. Otherwise, she would be in obscurity, plotting out her next move for 2004 or 2008. After four or eight years of being out of the public eye, chances were that Hillary would have been able to reinvent herself. Instead, she is a public official, front and center in a time of great crisis and she has failed miserably. Even her own previously clueless constituents now see her for what she really is. And any hope at all of a presidential run has been permanently extinguished.
I was proud to be an American the night Hillary was booed off the stage at Madison Square Garden. It was the happiest moment I have had since the events of 9/11. I only wish I could have been there myself to join in the chorus.
Speaking of happy moments, I just had another one today when I saw Fox News briefly cover the O.J. trial. This murdering scumbag is now on trial for road rage or something like that. The beauty of this is that if convicted, O.J. faces some serious jail time. As much as 16 years. And on this go-around, it is a total non-event, barely mentioned in the news except in passing. The media is treating O.J. as the common criminal dirtbag he is. If O.J. is convicted, I will be almost as happy as I was when Hillary got booed off the stage at Madison Square Garden. Even if he "only" gets a couple of years. This piece of human garbage will probably get murdered in prison because the prison guards will be too busy looking the other way or buried in a newspaper to see what might happen to him.
Hillary and O.J. are symbolic of the 1990s, a decade of unparalled decadence. It is great to finally see them getting their due.
