New Hampshire Incident

It’s wonderful that nobody got hurt during the hostage situation. It was also a very lucky break for the Clintons. They’d had a bad week. Hillary Clinton’s campaign had just gotten busted, again, for planting another question, this time at the Republicans debate. It was also being reported that people in Iowa were getting annoyed with HRC’s repeated tardiness. How about that interview with Katie Couric, “It will be me.”

Do we think that Hillary Clinton canceled her schedule because she wanted to give a guy with a road flare taped to his body the power to stop her from making a speech at the DNC, or because she wanted to stay at home for the day? I don’t see any reason she should not have, at the very least, attended the DNC event.

Do we think that Bill Clinton canceled his schedule because he thought it was a good idea to give a guy with a road flare taped to his body the power to stop him in his tracks, or because it hadn’t yet wriggled out of his statement about being opposed to the war from the beginning? Was there concern that Charlie Rose might have brought that up?

It could not have been scripted better. It could not have been timed better. The conversation is completely changed. We a local guy that everybody knows, and nobody actually fears. He straps on a road flare, and goes to Clinton’s local office to bring attention to his inability to get the medical and mental help he needs, providing the perfect preamble for a conversation about Hillarycare.

I know Clinton needs New Hampshire. I just don’t know if the nation needs the sort of government that shuts down any time a person straps on a road flare.
