Beginning today if you see me out and about and would like
to get my attention, just shout out “Hey, Clinton”! You see I’ve decided to
officially change my name. The name Clinton has some magical power that keeps
the owner of that name from ever facing consequences for misdeeds, planned or
accidental. In other words, in Monopoly terms, it’s a perpetual “Get out of
jail free” card.
I began
to suspect as much decades ago when then President Bill Clinton escaped
unscathed when female after female suggested alleged inappropriate advances
from the then Arkansas Governor and later President; everything from perverted
comments to full-on attempted assaults. Those allegations ended, as far as we
know, with the now-infamous under the desk, cigar-manipulating dalliances in
the Oval Office. All he seemed to extract from those adventures was increased
popularity among liberals, and outrageous speaking fee demands after leaving
office.
Keeping
it in the family, wife Hillary has escaped more often than Houdini in his
prime! I’m not even sure where to start with the presumptive 2016 Democrat
Presidential nominee. I’ll pick her greatest hits. Let’s start with the
Whitewater scam that for many younger voters is too far back to recall. Let’s
just say if things had been handled properly way back then, she’d likely just
be getting released from prison today rather than calling the furniture movers
to slide back into the White House.
Let’s
move forward to the Benghazi tragedy. Four brave Americans, including U.S.
Ambassador Chris Stevens lost their lives after reportedly asking for
additional security hundreds of times only to fall on deaf ears in the State
Department, headed by Secretary Hillary Clinton. To the untrained eye this
could range from neglect to incompetence. Regardless of the label, those four
souls still lost their lives. The Clinton magic worked again. She skated.
Then I
sat eagerly and watched FBI Director James Comey lay out a very convincing case
against Hillary for use of a private server to share Top Secret emails that, as
he explained, was a felonious act; whether intentional or accidental. She
should have known better, as he stated numerous times. He methodically
challenged how she dropped the ball and could, and likely did, allow critical
information to leak out via the Internet. His comments would have made
convincing prosecutorial opening and closing remarks at her trial. I listened
to that for 14 minutes of a 17 minute press conference. I thought to myself
“Justice, finally”! Then the other shoe dropped. In the concluding 3 minutes he
explained why she should not be prosecuted. With the timing, delivery, washing
of the hands of the Attorney General in the process it looked and sounded like
a well-orchestrated draft of a Hollywood script. To be honest it stinks!
There
is still a chance, remote as it might be, there could be a challenge of the
handling, or laundering, of money through the Clinton Foundation. But as I
said, it’s a mere dream at this point.
So “if
you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em” would apply here. I’m filing to officially change
my name to Clinton so that anything past, present or future that I’m accused of
that might be viewed as immoral, illegal or unethical will simply be swept
under the carpet. On a serious note, that anybody could even think about
casting a ballot for this woman who not only performed in this manner, but lied
repeatedly and publicly to shield herself from it, to me is also immoral and
unethical. If you choose this kind of individual for POTUS it shows a total
lack of moral fiber in you. Look in the mirror.
