Actually getting elected senator turned out to be a good thing for it finally made her a public servant who is accountable to the people. She can't flee to the White House kitchen and bake cookies when the going gets tough, like in the old days. Had Hillary lost the election, she would have a few years out of the spotlight while she "reinvented" herself. With the right handlers and image consultants, she could have come back to the public scene stronger than before. Not now. She has been defined.
It's funny how things work out. We thought it was the end of the world when she won last November but in retrospect, it's the best thing that could have happened. Same thing with Bill Clinton's impeachment. When the Senate decided not to remove Clinton from office, many of us were so angry and disgusted. Yet had Clinton been removed, Al Gore would have became president and his incumbency almost certainly would have made all the difference in last year's close election. Turns out that if Clinton was removed, it would be President Gore right now and not President Bush.
Getting back to Hillary, I saw the segment on Bill O'Reilly. I found it telling that the only person available to defend her was washed-up has-been Geraldine Ferraro! What the heck? I didn't even know Geraldine was still alive. Guess all the other Hillary-defenders were busy that night. Anyway, Geraldine did a piss-poor job defending Hillary. She was lame. O'Reilly stated that Hillary didn't attend a single funeral in NYC. Geraldine came back with the fact that Hillary did attend a service for a prominent chaplain. But that was only because it was a high-profile funeral with a lot of press coverage. In other words, the "beautiful people" were there, and that was the only reason Hillary deigned to make an appearance. As for the rank-and-file constituents of New York, Hillary couldn't possibly care less about them. Which is exactly why she got booed off the stage at Madison Square Garden.
Good take. Dead-on. It really is funny, strange actually, how things do work out. I thank GOD for his love of goodness.
Dems_R_Losers, WRhine, I really enjoyed your posts above, it is just astounding that anyone is able to stand being in this arrogant woman's presence. I guess for some, the feeling of being near power, even when that power comes from a vile human being, is worth the loss of his or her soul. When winning is everything, and the road to success is paved with the crushing of innocents, humanity becomes a burdon.
