Not that your humble servants in Washington D.C. have ever made a point of being honest, sincere, incisive and helpful but I can’t help laughing when I see where the current thinking on Hillary Clinton is heading. What? Hillary is rich? Bill Clinton earned tens of millions on the lecture circuit?
Hillary Clinton got tens of millions for writing her autobiography (actually it was just around 13 million)? The Clintons have made over one hundred million over the last ten or so years? How can that be? I thought they were little people, just like us? The right wing blitz machine has had a good old time these last few weeks “bringing the Clintons down a peg,” as one of the subtle commentators put it, and now we must all face the fact that the Clintons are doing a lot better than we are.
Well, isn’t that just the shock of the year! Is Hillary still planning to run for president after this unsettling reveal? I could have guessed that all sorts of sticky mud would be thrown early on in the 2016 race, which, let’s all face facts, has already started. But this particular issue is just way beyond the pale. Sober up, ladies and gentlemen. The Clintons are rich. They’ve been rich for a very long time. You’ve always known they were rich. Now can we discuss whether or not Hillary Clinton is really suitable to be president? You know what I mean? Does she have the qualifications and temperament to lead the nation? Maybe yes, maybe no. Oh, do you find that a little too boring?
