The Fat Lady hasn’t sung yet, but the Breck Girl chimed in today. Former Vice-Presidential Nominee and former candidate in the Democratic primary, John Edwards is, by all reports, prepared to announce that he will cast his lot with Barack Obama. Here. Is this the nail in the coffin? The straw that breaks the camel’s back? Nah, we’re talking about Hillary Clinton folks. This woman couldn’t divorce her husband because of his breaches of their marital contract, but for her ambition she can divorce herself completely from reality. I wonder if reality pays alimony?
Nope, the endorsements keep rolling in and Clinton keeps hanging on. This ain’t Hope against Hope, this is literally Nope agains Nope!
Today Obama picked another key endorsement. Actually it was more of an ”anti-endorsement” but it’ll work in his favor I’m certain. If the Obama campaign was looking for a way to draw Republicans to their side, well they found it today when Obama was slightly criticized by none other than Sean Penn (to Republicans he’s the Jane Fonda of his generation). Here.
Sean Penn said that he wasn’t endorsing Obama but he like his message of hope. Penn went a step further to say that Obama had a lot to live up. Penn leveled his harshest criticism of Obama on the senator’s voting record which Penn characterized as “unconstitutional” and “inhuman”. Wow, that is gold baby! I’d be running ads of Penn saying those exact words in every Red State. You know how Republicans think “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” It can’t lose. Thank you, Mr. Penn.
“This woman couldn’t divorce her husband because of his breaches of their marital contract…”
Um. Usually I agree with you, however, in this instance you are being unfair. ALL of those asshat cheating political husbands make those stupid apologies in public to their CONSTITUENTS while their wives stand to the side looking like conciliatory doormats.
The public eye, media scrutiny is on you, and frankly - the situation is already bad enough - painful enough that you don’t want to draw any more attention to yourself. And for some reason, thank you Patsy Cline, everyone thinks they have to stand-by-your-man no matter what they do.
Anyway, I don’t think it would be a good idea to divorce someone in office. I do NOT want my president distracted and upset by a divorce, thank you very much.
Persistant - “Stand by Your Man” Tammy Wynette, Patsy was dead when that song came out. Interestingly, before Wynetter did that song, she recorded a tune titled “D-I-V-O-R-C-E”.
I can see your point. It really was a throw away line that sounded funny and I had to connect the dots with “divorced from reality”.
Come on, Politpornster, you have editorial power over my comment. Just pop in and fix it. You know you want to. Just one little edit. No one has to know. It’ll be our…little……secret.
Bwahahhahhaha!
Sean Penn, why is he being interviewed again? and why is his words important?
Why get divorced? some arranged marriages work famously…it really is a win win…she gets hers he gets his whenever he can, Chelsea gets attention and gets to say “its none of your business” and watched saying it a million times on youtube. why would she want a divorce. Hillary’s only problem with Bill’s indescretion was that he was caught and it made his poll numbers go down and that means her poll numbers go down…notice I sail poll not pole. :)N
