Experience: What A Difference Sixteen Years Make

Fifteen years would have sounded better in the title of the post; but, you’ve got to work with what you have, rather than making up an argument for the current Democratic race.

Making up an argument you say? Yep, you see back in 1992, now Senator Hillary RODHAM Clinton was supporting the candidacy of her husband William JEFFERSON Clinton (middle names are recently important in this race to become the President of the UNITED STATES of America).

Even John DAMN I DON’T KNOW HIS MIDDLE NAME McCain is getting on the bandwagon taking shots at Barack HUSSEIN Obama’s lack of EXPERIENCE. But this post is about Senator Clinton.

Back then, Senator Clinton espoused the outsider credentials of Bill. The evil George HERBERT WALKER Bush (make up your own parenthetical about the two middle names) and his experience. You see GWHW had a lot of national, domestic and foreign, experience; and, according to the then Arkansas First Lady and Governor Clinton, it was a liability.

These days Senator Clinton touts her “35 years of experience.” Putting aside the fact that she doesn’t have that tenure in any meaningful series of positions, and the fact that she won’t release her papers from the eight years of being First Lady and won’t explain why she gets credit for the good stuff (in her opinion) her husband did, but shouldn’t be tarred by NAFTA (which I’m not sure was a bad idea), it seems she’s left with bitching at the debate moderators for asking her the first question too often in the debates she insisted on having.

Let’s say she beats Obama. At that point does she concede the race against Senator McCain because he obviously wins the EXPERIENCE race? Or will she then flop to say her HOPE and IDEAS for America are better than his?

As I’ve said before, sometimes you’ve just got to shake your head.
