THE CLINTONS AGAIN: Are We Really Ready For This?

She's not even been officially elected yet and it has already started. First, it was the Hsu thing with the $850,000 in illegal campaign contributions that she says she is going to return. Has she?

Then, it was sneaking Sandy Berger into her campaign management. Remember good-old-boy Sandy, the former National Security Advisor for Billy who got caught stealing documents after Bush took office?

Now, it comes out that Hillary listened to secretly recorded cell-phone conversations involving political enemies. As recently as August, Clinton was advocating for the rights of people to sue if their phone conversations are illegally intercepted.

I often wondered if any of Billy's misfeasances and malfeasances were deliberately manufactured in order to cover up dirtier deeds. Not that it matters. What DOES matter is that the political stars have already lined up enough for us to forecast that it's going to be eight more years of the same old tripe.

Do I sound as if her election is a "done deal?" What makes you think it isn't? As it stands today, on this day.... There's no one in the race, Democrat or Republican, who can stop her. Unless she stumbles, and her well-organized team is not likely to let that happen, it IS a done deal. And, I'll guarantee you.... within 30 days of her coronation, you and 90% of the rest of this country are going to be insisting that you never voted for her.... the same percentage 30 days after Billy's inauguration.

So, that means that, already, we're not to blame?

America Deserves Eight More Years of Political Suicide

For eight years, we endured the endless scandals, twists and turns of the Clintons. We were enthralled and breathless as story after story unfolded on the front pages of Time, Newsweek, and the Washington Post, retold with salacious and exciting detail on the evening news. Whitewater, Rose Law Firm, Presidential dalliances, Chinese political donations, accusations of murder, and stained dresses. Remember..... Most people don't, for one reason or another... the big sigh of relief this nation felt when the inventor of the word "is" moved out of the White House, flavored cigars and all?

How dull it has been for these last eight years. Oh, Bush mismanaged the nation's economy at the start, but 9/11 bailed him out of his lackadaisical leadership record. Then, he badly bungled Iraq... But there were no really gut wrenching, eyes-glued-to-the-TV stories during Bush's terms, such as those provided by the Clintons.

So, why would it not be a natural to forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater mistakes of the future? Let's get Hillary and Bill and Chelsea and Monica and the gang back at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Make my predicitions of ten years ago come true. And, let's get our attention back off international relations and back on the next story to unfold, as well as the question of whether or not Monica really intends to wear that famous dress to the inaugural ball?

My God, don't you really wish you lived in France?
