Even supporters baffled by Clinton staying in
A New York Times piece by Julie Bosman quoted a store clerk who said it best:
“I don’t really get the point of her carrying on,” said Tim Ledford, 29, a store clerk who had wandered upstairs to catch a glimpse of Mrs. Clinton. “If it’s done, it’s done.”
Actually, were it not for Operation Chaos, headed by conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh, Mrs. Clinton’s campaign wouldn’t have lasted this long. Yet the ’90s figurehead, so enamoured of her own “presidential birthright,” simply can’t seem to understand that the Democrats and liberals who supported her for so long have chosen a rookie Senator with no executive office experience over her.
Get used to it, Sen. Rodham. Your party is simply catching up with the rest of the country from eight years ago; we’re Clinton-ed out! So buy some golf balls, hit the Links and be grateful you’re in a solid blue state that’ll never toss you overboard.
Sen. Ted Kennedy hospitalized
US Senator Ted Kennedy was hospitalized for a siezure over the weekend, and, according to various news sources, while his life is not in immediate danger, his condition is considered serious. Kennedy, the last remaining of the Kennedy clan of his generation that included John and Robert, is a 76-year-old Democrat and this is his second hospitalization in the past seven months.
While WonderfulPessimist.com opposes the Massachusetts US Senator on nearly every issue and stance he’s ever taken, we do extend our prayers to him and his family for a swift and complete recovery. After having my own mom go through a series of health problem over the past year, these are worries and situations I wish on no one. May he rest comfortably in the meantime, preferrably on a memory foam mattress.
