She can't really be as desperate as she seems, can she? Watching her speech today I felt like I was being subjected to the recitation of a winning entry in some social studies essay contest . . . make that the runner's up entry. It was painful to watch. Actually cringe-inducing at times. Especially, when she broke out the Evita on the balcony of the Casa Rosada blocking. What was with all of the awkward outstretched arms gesturing? Oh Hillary. Buy a clue.
But, aside from being slightly embarrassed by her delivery, I was also baffled by some of the content. I can't believe she got up there, on a day commemorating the bloody repression of a peaceful march calling attention to the denial African-American voting rights in this country, and had the balls out 'audacity' (no credit to Barack there) to say that those sacrifices were validated by the election of a couple of white Southern males to the White House!! CRACKA SAY WHAT?! Hey, John Lewis, thanks for getting your head bashed in 42 years ago, so that we could get some GEOGRAPHIC diversity back in the Presidency. After all, it had been two whole terms between the last Southern male to hold the office and Carter making that giant leap for mankind. And, Lord knows, ever since the Constitutional Convention the interests of white Southerners have been soooo underrepresented in our national political discourse. Wow, Hillary. Just . . . wow.
