Hillary Clinton: she’ll say anything
A lot of people call George W. Bush a dumbass, because they say he is ignorant about foreign policy and the names of leaders.
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton says she is smart and experienced, even if she has memory and “misspeaking” problems caused by sleep deprivation.
Here’s the latest one that made the front page here in Wellington, New Zealand, in the Australian-owned Dominion Post newspaper. Sen. Clinton called Helen Clark the ‘former prime minister of New Zealand’ even though she’s still in office.
If she gets in, Americans are still going to get comments about a dumbass, ignorant president from us. So much for restoring America’s international prestige—when she makes mistakes like this.
No doubt it was caused by sleep deprivation again.
If you can read the article, the latest Clinton “misstatement” managed to remind the New Zealand press about her gaffe that she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary, something later revealed to be complete fiction. The Bosnian sniper-fire incident is also in there.
She’ll say anything, it seems—and in my book, that’s not presidential. The anti-Bush types say that if the world could have voted a US president, he would not have got in. It seems that if New Zealanders could vote in anyone into the White House from here, Hillary Clinton doesn’t look like our pick.

Man it's going to take a hell of a lot more than a president to do that. Also, I wouldn't be counting my Democrat chickens before they hatch. I think everyone is real quick to assume whomever wins the Democratic seat will go on to win the Presidency. This is extremely short sighted and an underestimation of the stupidity of "red state" Americans.
Either way, I love hearing about the screw ups of Americans and their leaders. I'll be checking into your blog regularly from here on out. I will add you to my neighborhood. Feel free to drop by my comedy blog when you're bored and need a laugh.
Sully, I have added you to my neighbourhood as I really enjoyed your posts. You are right to say that whomever wins the nomination won’t be a shoo-in to the White House. And out of Obama and Clinton, their personal attacks on the other have actually armed McCain.
There will be more screw-ups that I will report as they come to hand!
Clinton's not my type and you guys are right, too, about Obama. McCain, too, just doesn't stir my juices. With the duration of the party nomination process even before the main race itself, I think that all sides (especially on the Democrats' side) are going to be damaged if they keep savaging each other the way they have been carrying on for the past few months.
Hate to say it, but I'd be loathe to have to vote on the basis of choosing the best of the worst.
