Thanks a lot, Santa

Thanks a lot, Santa. I guess you were too busy to get my letter (previous post).

I woke this morning to Hillary’s announcement that she’s running. Shit, shit, shit. How is this happening? How is it that she and her husband are not hiding somewhere in shame? Collectively, we Americans are insane.

If Rosie O’Donnell is all over the news for loudly proclaiming on The View that Donald Trump is a poor “moral barometer”, how can we not spend some time and attention questioning the reasons that Hillary Freakin Clinton is even in a position to run? 

The fact is that Hillary Clinton has never said ANYTHING at all about ANYTHING, or done ANYTHING about ANYTHING. Her announcement says it all. From CNN: "After six years of George Bush, it is time to renew the promise of America," she said. "I grew up in a middle-class family in the middle of America, and we believed in that promise," the 59-year-old native of Chicago said. "I still do. I've spent my entire life trying to make good on it, whether it was fighting for women's basic rights or children's basic health care, protecting our social security or protecting our soldiers."

Is it me? What the hell is she even talking about?

But she can complete a thought to tout (and we seem to buy it - again, insanity) the success of her completely political marriage to a guy who has the self-control and respect and morals of a 2-year-old. These are the folks that are supposed to be serving us. And these are our choices. We should be outraged. We should all be embarrassed that this is someone we continue to allow in positions to represent us.

God bless America. And God bless money.

I’ll give them this: they are smart. They probably had several meetings to discuss how to change the Clinton chapter in the history books (although we seem to think Mr. Clinton hung the moon already – again with the insanity). But now, they’ll go down (ha) in history as the husband and wife presidential tag team. Where’s my vomit pail?

The next god-knows-how-many years having to look at her and listen to that voice are now ruined. Not to mention that she just ruined the AFC Championship Playoff weekend.

There is a coming soon message at www.anybodybuthillary.com. I may finally get involved in politics. At this point, anybody but her. If she wins, I give up on America. Seriously. Final straw.

 

**Although what really should have been my final straw was the day after Bush announced his "surge" plan in Iraq and the top story on all the Internet news sites was about David Spice-Boy Beckham going to LA. It's my fault - - expectations are too high.
