Imagine, a contrived scene in politics
Yeah, I know it seems far-fetched, almost to the level of conspiracy-theory material. But, sometimes, I just can’t help but think some scenes in politics are totally contrived. Today we got yet another sampling. To wit, Hillary was asked this question:
It? How does she do “it”? Oh man, what a question! “It” can be SOOO many things. But making it “very personal” rules out a lot of things like tuning the car or pruning the perfect lawn. “Personal” usually involves one’s body. Now, being kinda pervy as I am, I got all kinds of nasty “its” in my mind. Spit or swallow? On top or face down? Most at one time? Oh man, the “its” were running wild. With the race tightening and her leads dwindling in many places, this was sure to be the “briefs or shorts” of 2008. The slam dunk to end the entire race. The question to make her much more open and personal. The question that could ONLY be asked of a woman that people would want to hear the answer to. This whole primary shenanigans would be over. It just depended on what the meaning of “it” was.
“How do you…..
Oh, come on now! Quit hemming and hawing and tell us what “it” is! Now!
…how do you keep upbeat and so wonderful?”
WTF? She’s a national politician. It’s her expected duty, as a candidate, to be upbeat and wonderful. Otherwise, she’d have this awful reputation as being cold, aloof, and domineering. No one wants that on their tv every night. To say the least, I, as a man with the usual six second testosterone surge, was beyond disappointed. I was crushed at how lame and girly this was becoming when it could have been SOOOO sophomoric. So, how did Hillary feel when she realized she had been let off the hook?
Then, her voice breaking and tears in her eyes, she said, “You know, this is very personal for me. It’s not just political it’s not just public. I see what’s happening, and we have to reverse it.”
Yes, she wept.
She became personal.
She totally reversed “it”.
The race is still on.
