Random Unqualified Statements
Feb. 22nd, 2008 09:51 pm1.) Senator Clinton, can we talk? Come on, just us. Republican to Democrat, ghetto-girl to Ivy Leaguer, nerd champion to champion nerd. Okay, here it is: Dude, let the plagiarism thing go. Do you think anyone cares that Obama re-used some other politician's hackneyed lines? We, the voting public, are pretty sure none of you are using your own work when you open your yaps. We aren't shocked that Senator Obama didn't stick around and give us a bibliography afterwards. How often have your own speeches contained unattributed quotes? Let. It. Go. And while I have you here?
2.) When your husband was President and your daughter was an itty-bitty not very attractive sixth grader? It was cool for you to take the press out to the woodshed regarding their coverage of her. After all, she was a little girl and she wasn't in any public office or campaigning for anyone. See, that's the thing. Now? She is campaigning for you, deliberately pushing herself into the public eye. Is saying that you're pimping her out a nice thing? No. Are you pimping her out? Kinda. If she's not a big enough girl to take the lumps, she's not a big enough girl to be making stump speeches. You just can't have it both ways, pookie.
3.) Senator McCain: I don't care who you may or may not have had sex with. Your wife might care. I am not your wife. In all actuality, I'm not sure I'd care if my husband was screwing a lobbyist, let alone anyone else's husband. If she put out sex and you put out political favors? That I care about. Give President Clinton his dues, baby. He got blowjobs in the Oval, but he didn't give up the goodies. You've built your reputation on being ethical (minus that Keating Five thing which supposedly taught you the price of politics and whatnot). Be ethical. Stand up, take your lumps and let's move on. I seriously don't want to hear about a seventy-plus year old penis for an entire election season. Some things should remain eternal mysteries, yanno?
Random Interjection: I have a new ring. It is pretty and my husband bought it for me (under strict supervision). I got an A on my Human Development paper. My new hair color is fabulous and I have several new episodes of CSI to watch. Life is occasionally very good. :)

on 2008-03-19 06:49 pm (UTC)i have a family member who had struggled with anorexia nervosa--to the point where she had the forced feeding thing, then therapy for a year or so...so do find it interesting...actually pretty much find all of the human development/psychology types of things fascinating-- anyway, i'd have difficulty understanding how you, with your obvious understanding of human nature, as well as your ability to write, could get much less than an A in any psych/human development course--
