Before he did that and she ’stood by him’ I would’ve voted for her. Her transparent stoicism made me see how completely without scruples she is. She would do or say anything to be elected and for what? Why doesn’t she stand for something in particular and let the people decide for themselves? I’ve been given to understand that the dems don’t want her to run because they feel that she would provoke a previously apathetic segment to come out in force to negate her. Interesting aspect, that.

We NEED better candidates, period.

Amen.

I don’t fault Hillary for being married to a man who cheated. I’ve always believed that the same ego and desire for power that makes one able to be President also drives one’s desire to “conquer” many lovers. I don’t think Clinton is the only Presiden to cheat — I think he is the only one to get caught and publically strung up for it.

The Republicans decided to make it a public issue, which I think is unscrupulous. It has nothing to do with how he did his job. I hired him to be a President. I did not hire him as a husband. Sure, the cheating and lying about it has some reflection on his character. But remember — no one person is all good or all bad, as American movies would like us to believe. We all have weaknesses and faults. Bill was a great President. He was a shitty husband, in some regards. I’m not saying I’d marry him. But he can be my President any day.

The whole infidelity thing — that is between him and his wife and his daughter. Plenty of Republican Presidents have cheated, for sure. But I think it was always an unspoken rule that those kinds of things were outside the arena of pertinance. Now, if a President was lying and cheating about public policy, phone tapping, war, terror alerts, our budget, well then, I think that should be up for scrutiny. Seems like our Replican-led Congress doesn’t agree. How fucked up is that? Our nation’s lawmakers are in such a shame spiral right now, I have found myself mentally unplugging from Washington. Whenever I try to connect, I am dumbfounded by the antics and the things that the Bush administration are getting away with. It’s utterly shocking. It’s a dark period in American politics, for sure.

So yeah, for me, it’s Hillary. I think she’s be a great President, but I hope she is never nominated. I don’t think most of the American public could find the courage to vote for her. But let’s be honest, I think in some respects, she was already President.

Im right there along with the “gutting” comment….make me look like a fool in front of our friends is BAD….. but to make headline news at 6pm and the topic of every lunch conversation…..dead man.

I dunno what that says about her judgement skills under pressure…….

E.g. untitled mother pacing the sidewalk is you. How do you think you felt? Abandoned? The person who stood her up was you, still back at the restaurant. Why do you think you stood yourself up? Neglecting one’s self? Why did you leave without eating to pick yourself up from the airport? Priorities to yourself?

I’ve made a lot sense out of my dreams that way, because the mumbo-jumbo dream plot applies to you, only you; which is basically your inner you trying to unscramble your mixed emotions and exepriences when your brain is on stand-by. Weird, isn’t it?

I am intrigued about your dream of dating DJ AM. I think I have half-aware always wondered myself what the hell he did or said to Nicole Ritchie to get her to give up food. On the top of my mind, I think she became anorexic because of all the media exposure next to Paris Hilton. But something in the back of my head wants to think it was because of AM.

I laugh at Perez. But he is third favorite next to Celebitchy and IDon’tlikeYouInThatWay.

If I were as smart as you, I might have made that connection. Instead, my sugar-coated mind was making a reference to the fact that Lionel Ritchie is Nicole Ritchie’s father. All this useless knowledge floating around in my head.

OK, now it’s your turn. Ask away!
