today's rant: here comes the circus, originally 1/23/07

over the weekend, mr. hilary clinton announced that she was running for pres in '08, and like a pro, she didn't waist any time getting knee high in political bullshit.  by political bullshit, i mean dodging questions that require personal opinion about the topic being discussed.  last night, she was on ABC news with charlie gibson.  i have to give charlie credit for keeping his cool.  he was practically begging hilary to give a straight answer, but he stayed professional.  honestly, how would you feel if you were trying to communicate with a monkey and all the monkey did was throw its shit in your face?  you'd probably either move away or smack the monkey right in the face.  he didn't faulter.

gibson asked her if she thought that senator obama would be a good choice for president.  i can't even remember clearly what she said because nothing of what she said even came close to a "yes" or "no" answer.  he asked her again if she thought he'd be a good president.  when he failed to get a real response, he went to a commercial and that was the end of the interview.  for all i know, the conversation could've gone like this and yielded the same result:
cg:  "do you think senator obama would be a good choice for the presidency?"
hc:  "you know, i saw this wonderful picture of a cake in 'martha stewart living' the other day and i've been eager to try the recipe out myself.  i always had a knack for cooking deserts, even when my husband served in his two terms"
cg:  "but yes or no, do you think senator obama would be a good president?"
hc:  "i have a belly button.  two plus two is four.  i want my baby back baby back baby back baby back ribs.  did you see 'family guy' last night?"
cg:  "thank you, senator clinton.  we'll be right back."

i'm not going to bother watching the state of the union address tonight.  i can't take it anymore.  i can't look at him with a straight face anymore.  it's like looking at that woman in the lipozene commercial.  that bitch is such a hideous fucking c.h.u.d. that i hope she gets flesh-eating bacteria to put her out of her misery.  instead of watching the stupid speech, i'll be doing something way more productive:  playing internet poker.  i encourage you not to watch it, too.  it's just too tiring to watch.  i'll get the basic rundown later.
