The Panicked Voices in My Head

God help us: it is looking more and more as if 2008 might pit Hillary Clinton against Newt Gingrich in a run for President. I just don't know if I can take it. Newt is a horrible person. Hillary is a compulsive liar. What kind of a choice is that?

So anyway, I was pretty irritated this morning to read about two individuals who are coming to the defense of the Pope: Hillary Clinton and Newt Gingrich. Why did they have to go and do that? Now I'm even more dismayed about the next Presidential election and the future of our country.

What Hillary said:

It's just outrageous and offensive that people would be threatening violence against him based on what he said, especially when there is so much they should be working on together.

What Newt said:

I think what he said in his entire speech ... is that Islam has to come to grips with having a genuine dialogue of mutual respect. Everything you've seen of the viciousness and the evil that has been said since then by fanatics reinforces the pope's speech.

I don't for one second believe these two very sophisticated politicians didn't understand what the pope pulled with his speech. So why are they speaking out in support of him? Are they both committed to the same international cause as our current administration? It has been looking that way to me for a long time.

When Bill Clinton, who signed NAFTA into law, is pal-ing around with George H.W. Bush, Hillary Clinton supports the War, and Laura Bush is keynote speaker at Bill Clinton's Global Initiative conference, it all just makes your head want to explode. Somehow, the conspiracy theorist in me finds relevance to this, this, and this. Someone pour me a drink.
