Nathan on Hillary’s “Human Side”

Filed under: American and Foreign,Politics — Friday, January 11th, 2008 @ 10:34 pm

(With apologies for the pun.)

I completely disagree that Hillary’s shedding a few tears over the difficulty of her job makes her more human; it does make her more of a megalomaniac. Does she really think she’s entitled to the presidency or to people’s affections? Why should either be automatically given to her? If I were the Big Hominid, I would put together a little animation (photoshopped), like this, ripping off episode 3 of Star Wars:

Mace Windu (with the face of Barack Obama): “The Senate will decide your fate.”
Senator Palpatine (with the face of Hilary Clinton): “I am the Senate!”
Mace Windu-Obama: “Not yet!”
Palpatine-Clinton: “It’s treason, then. Argghhh!”

Frame 2: Palpatine-Clinton kills two jedi.

It’s that sense of entitlement, that sense that my person is the government, that so many people found distasteful about the Clintons from Bill’s time as president.

    I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t vote for someone that cried like that….too weak to rule a country.

  2. Nathan:

    Crying tears of self-pity is just ridiculous from someone of her age and experience, daeguowl. By the way, I occasionally check your blog–and always enjoy your fine sense of humour!
