Pay To Play

so i rushed home for lunch a bit late today so i could pick up on the senate foreign relations committee's confirmation hearing for hillary clinton to be the next secretary of state.

and, of course, i'd been reading all day and it quickly became clear, that the big question concerns a potential conflict of interest in respect to her husband's foundation and clinton global initiative.

ignore the fact that the clintons have agreed to disclose more information than is required by law or ethical rules... or that hillary is just too fucking kick-ass to allow some schmuck who makes a donation to the CGI to sway her mindset....

but i'm watching and the questioning gets to STILL-SITTING louisiana senator, david vitter. and he's all trying to play hardball with my girl, hillary... and he wants more assurances and more promises in writing.

and all i can think is.... YOU SLEEP WITH HOOKERS!

i mean...if you really want to talk about paying to play..... where does vitter get off? (forgive the double entendre.)

i just really wanted hillary to sit back, sigh, and say... "ya know, senator vitter. why don'tcha just go buy yourself a hooker and make yourself feel better? okay...? next!"

but my girl is keeping her cool and she's kicking some ass.

one week from today.... changing of the guard.

e.

p.s. speaking of "pay to play." i think it's awfully nice of illinois governor rod blagojevich to fill the void left by the absence of sarah palin on the national stage. man, blago fuckin' cracks me up!
