Hillary Clinton Cleavage
1 comment July 28th, 2007
The Washington Post’s story about the cleavage of Hillary Clinton being exposed in Congress is having a ripple effect on the 2008 presidential contest. A senior campaign official with the Clinton political machine has sent out a fundraising letter to Hillary’s supporters, denouncing the Washington Post for doing a story focusing on the body parts of the senator, as opposed to the substance of her mind. I actually agree with this criticism, as noted in my previous blog comment on this issue. However, I suspect that behind the facade of puffed-up anger, Hillary and Bill Clinton are delighted at this display of idiocy by the Washington Post. A superficial diversion by journalists, rather than critical introspection, serves Hillary Clinton’s interests. It also gives her ammunition for firming up her support amongst the single most important demographic of the 2008 presidential election, women voters. As with Obama’s ill-advised attacks on Hillary Clinton, the Washington Post’s insult to serious journalism gives the Clinton political machine more arrows in their campaign quiver.
At a time when intelligence warnings are ominously in synchronicity with the harbingers heard in the summer of 2001 of a pending Al-Qaeda attack on America, journalists should be asking all the candidiates, including Hillary Rodham Clinton, what they would propose should be done to protect the American homeland. Instead, we find what passes for serious journalism in America writing a story consisting of hundreds of words about the bosom seperation of Hillary Clinton. This just shows who the real boobs are, while the Clintons stand laughing at them, and the American people who actually consume such “journalistic” nonsense.
