Rehash for Cash

That's what the Clinton campaign calls the new books, before they even came out. Okay, fair enough, I think everybody knows that Bill Clinton steps out on his wife. We also know that he's been stepping out on Hillary before she became his wife. On that score, so what? The information is not new, but the context is new. It's no longer about Bill Clinton having affairs on his wife, it's now about a presidential candidate's spouse having affairs, and I think that's different. If she gets her name on the ticket, and wins the general, what sort of position will his girlfriends put the nation? What assurance do we have that other countries won't make available willing women for some sort of trade? Corporations trying for government contracts? Tax breaks? What effect will it have on the Secret Service? Will the Secret Service find itself fractured, the agents responsible for protecting the former president and his girlfriends, and the new president assigning other agents, to find out about these women? Will these women be rewarded, or destroyed personally and professionally? If so, how much of our government resources will be allocated for this purpose? What's going to happen with that constitution thing? Some of these women are likely to be citizens, with all those incidental civil rights. These are considerations.

Also a consideration, how do you send people to war, to live and die and kill, to maim and be maimed, without reading the report? How does anybody do that? How can a person put herself forward as a leader, and then sidle up with the sheep? To discontinue her droning "If I'd known then what I know now..." only to whine about other members of congress also being too lazy and too conceded to read a report? Did she even try? Were the words too big?
