Hillary Clinton Thinks You're an Idiot

This upcoming Saturday, South Carolina holds its Democratic primary. For those of you not intimately familiar with the primary process, South Carolina, for some reason, has the Republican and Democratic primaries on different days. My guess is that since South Carolina is so inconsequential in the grand scheme of things, they're getting while the getting is good.

Anyway, the Dems had themselves a debate this past weekend, and as I'm sure all you well informed D&F'ers know, Hillary and Barack got into what can be best described as a brother and sister arguing over who gets the front seat. One of the major points of contention is that prior to the debate, Barack made a relatively objective comment about President Ronald Regan.

Hillary promptly misconstrued the comment as an endorsement of the conservative President and then proceeded to nag Barack incessantly. She also made a point to say that Regan and his policies were bad for America. Um, yeah - the Cold War was a good thing; it never should have ended, and his economic policies setup the bull market of the 90's (for which Bill Clinton got the credit), but sure, Regan was a bad President.

Well, apparently, Hillary is having some trouble making up her mind about Regan. According to HillaryClinton.com, the Presidential hopeful lists not only Regan, but George H. W. Bush as some of her favorite Presidents. I'm waiting for someone in the media to get hold of this minor discrepancy, but I'm not holding my breath.

On a completely seperate note - what is up with Hiallry and Bill in that picture? If I didn't know the Clintons, I would describe this picture as two stoners looking for a ride to Woodstock. The only thing that's missing from that picture is a cardboard sign that says "Have weed, will travel."
