Hillary "Boom-Boom" Clinton
In this week's New Yorker, Hendrik Hertzberg had a piece about how the ever-lengthening Presidental campaign season is becoming absurd and leads to lots of fake controversy as the media tries to make the long, long, LONG election cycle interesting. I agree, but what really caught my eye was this quote:
Similarly, when Obama said he would not use nuclear weapons to attack terrorists, Senator Clinton tut-tutted him, saying, “I don’t believe that any President should make any blanket statements with respect to the use or non-use of nuclear weapons. But I think we’ll leave it at that, because I don’t know the circumstances in which he was responding.”WHAT WHAT WHAT?!?!?!?! If Hillary can't say that she would definitely NOT use nuclear weapons - weapons with the potential to wipe out all life on earth - then I cannot, in good conscience, vote for her. I mean, come on!

i know. if there is ONE thing you could make a definitive statement on, you'd think this would be it. le sigh.
however, i always have this gut reaction to defend her. i don't know where that comes from since i've never been very watchful of her career, and i don't go around defending every female politician's shitty comments. but i came across this article (http://www.salon.com/mwt/feature/2006/10/16/hillary/?source=whitelist) a while ago that i think sums up my conflicting emotions toward the hillster quite well. this doesn't really have anything to do with your post and it's like a year old. but yeah. boom boom.
