“Well, I’ll tell you, I’ve been back there listening to
Randi and I’m so exhausted, I can barely stand here.”
That’s
how the ever-electric Hillary Clinton opened her speech to the American
Federation of Teachers in Pittsburgh recently. What a leader! That ought to
fire up her base as she prepares for yet another run at the presidency! What
quality is more important in a president than the tendency to be easily
exhausted?
That’s
correct! Sheer bitterness, rank entitlement and laughable hypocrisy! After
receiving the union’s Women’s Rights Award—and pointing out how tired she was--
she launched into a diatribe lamenting how oppressed she has been throughout
her life. She noted: “When I was growing up, there were scholarships I couldn’t
get, colleges I couldn’t attend, jobs I couldn’t apply for just because I was a
girl.” (Now we can say that about conservatives).
She
then remarked, “It wasn’t so very long ago that classified ads were divided
into ‘help wanted dash male,’ and ‘help wanted dash female.’” (And it wasn’t
long ago that bathrooms were divided into ‘male’ and ‘female,’ either). Before
turning to attacks on all things Trumpian, she bizarrely criticized girls
half-court basketball, whining that “They wouldn’t let us run on the full
court.” (Think how tired she would’ve been if ‘they’ did).
The
staggeringly oppressed former First Lady and Secretary of State of the United
States of America then started in on baseless attacks on the Trump
administration and evil Republicans in general, saying: “They’ve gutted funding
for schools and universities.” (In light of what universities are teaching now,
I wish that were true).
She
said: “They want to turn us into transactional units,” and claimed that Trump
supporters want a “man-eat-man, woman-eat-woman” society. (No, that would be
the LGBTQ community).
Waxing
ever more preposterous, she asserted: “They are trying to rip the heart out of
America” and “They want to turn us against each other.” (They? They? They! You are the one doing the
demonizing and dividing, Hillary).
Averring that “The stakes could not
be higher” she actually said, “You know, I used to worry that they wanted to
turn the clock back to the 1950s. Now I worry they want to turn it back to the
1850s.”
The unionists applauded wildly.
What if former presidents had had
Hillary’s personality and world-view?
Ronald
Reagan at the Brandenburg Gate:
“Thank you very much. Chancellor
Kohl, Governing Mayor Diepgen, ladies and gentlemen: I have an appeal to
General Secretary Gorbachev, but first, I’ve gotta tell you how exhausted I am.
I can barely stand here. As most of you know, I had an alcoholic father, and…”
FDR after
the attack on Pearl Harbor:
“Yesterday, December 7, 1941—a date which….but
first of all, I’ve gotta tell you, I’m so exhausted I can barely speak. And,
you know, I’m confined to a wheelchair through no fault of my own, so…”
Abraham
Lincoln at Gettysburg:
“First off, let me tell you all, I’m so tired
I can barely stand here. And, I grew up in a one-room log cabin with a dirt
floor. No one can say I didn’t have it rough, that I didn’t sacrifice. But, the world will probably little note, nor
long remember that fact. So, if I
don’t make it through this speech, I’m sure you’ll understand. (Unionists
applauded wildly). Anyway: Four score and seven years ago…”
