Hillary Star Wars 2008 Style
2 comments November 28th, 2007
It had to happen. Barack Obama announces that Oprah Winfrey will campaign for him, only to be countered by Hillary Clinton informing the world that Barbra Streisand endorses her presidential campaign.
The 2008 presidential race is increasingly being dominated by celebrity advertising and endorsements, in lieu of serious exploration of the issues. Many in the political establishment are to blame for this depressing devolution of our political culture, however, the Clintons are the masters of this descent into inanity.
Hillary Clinton’s whole political persona is based on celebrity approbation, starting with her husband. Her election to the Senate in 2000 despite being a carpetbagger in New York only happened due to her husband being the current president, the ultimate form of celebrity endorsement. The continuing presence of Bill Clinton as a vital political star among Hillary’s celebrity troupe personifies the superficiality of her campaign.
We are now witnessing star wars between Hillary Clinton and her opponents, while the nation slides into economic chaos and geo-political uncertainty. This may be injurious to the national interest, but it’s a wonderful context for Hillary Rodham Clinton to campaign in. After all, why spoil Hillary’s attempt to “make history” with anything as mundane as substance and seriousness.
