The Hills has been caught in another ‘misspeak’ of Bosnian proportions. This week, a story she’d been using in her stump speeches about a woman who was refused medical care because she couldn’t pay the $100 fee and subsequently died along with her unborn child (I smell a Naomi Watts role) was revealed to be a fabrication. The story was told to Clinton by one of the people she met along the campaign trail in Ohio. Her staff says they tried to vet the story, but because medical records are confidential, were unable to do so and decided to use the story anyway. Awesome and here’s why:
HILLARY’S CAMpain STAFF: COMBINED I.Q.= 17
It appears Hills really IS for equal opportunity employment, as her staff is comprised, largely, of people who are mentally challenged (I apologize sincerely to any mentally challenged folks who are offended). They have let more shit slip through the cracks than an incontinent octogenarian- from the little girl in the 3am video being an Obama volunteer, to the Bosnian sniper fiasco, and now this. I based some of my initial support of Hills on the belief that she would unquestionably bring an amazing cabinet to her administration-much like Bill did in the 90’s. I can’t remember a cabinet as damaging and coldly calculating as George W’s and I welcomed a hasty end to the days of Rummy, Wolfie, Ashy, Gonzo, and Madame Rice. It appears my confidence in old Hills may have been ‘misplaced’ based on the number of ‘misspeaks’ we’ve seen so far. Her campaign staff smacks of FEMA-tardation.
Hills in increasingly hot water and as someone who voted for her, I’m just not really sure what to say anymore. Experience is great. Ideas are great. Plans are even better. But part of getting any of this shit done means being able to convince people that your experience, ideas and plans are the best. That’s hard to do when you’ve got imaginary snipers and dead pregnant chicks chasing you around (weird...that was in my dream last night). We all know the story about the politician who cried sniper. No one believed her when the real sniper was actually…never-mind. Anyways, this image problem is serious and regardless of its causes (stay tuned you biased news media fucks- you're next on my list) it seems to mean that Clinton- for all the good she really really wants to do- probably won’t get the chance.
