Burlap Sack: Hilary Rodham Clinton
It might be that my political rangefinder is out of scope, but the proposition that Hillary Clinton should be President of the United States is so far beyond my field of vision I can hardly fathom it.
I mean, be serious, this is a woman who wasn’t qualified to be the First Lady of Arkansas let alone a Senator, let alone Secretary of State. This last portfolio was especially ironic. Before 2009 the full extent of her foreign policy experience was canvassing foreign governments for money to funnel into the Clinton Foundation all while hanging off Slick Willy’s arm.
If you have membership in that vague shapeless fog of pseudo-liberal zealots who think the Clintons can do no wrong and a lady president must be had at all costs, think about the implications of your commitment. I would love to see a woman lead the free world, I daresay it’s overdue, but I don’t think that wish holds true when the candidate in question is a fabricator, and a cheat, and a solipsist, and who is inexplicably happily married to the man accused of raping at least three women. True, these cases are all “he said she said” accounts of sexual misconduct, but I encourage readers to remember that William Jefferson Clinton is an addicted liar and it seems to be contagious.
Yeah, this is an embarrassing article. It is a totally acceptable view to take issue with Hilary Clinton, and even to be outright against her, but this article reads as drive-by pretentious and extremist garbage. The critiques tossed at Clinton show a complete blindness to the reality of politics, and come across more as an outlet to express supposedly clever jabs by a twenty-something.
Many people are frustrated with politics. There is a lot wrong. But this kind of extremist response to a person is completely blind, and only serves to exacerbate the issue.
Are you kidding us, Cole? Bye.
