A gift for Hillary

Seems republicans, as led by the man who would never be President, Rand Paul, have found their point of attack against Hillary Clinton when it comes to the War on Women:  Bill Clinton's dalliance with Monica Lewinsky.  Tsk, tsk--how, they ask, can Hillary talk about the War on Women when Bill so blatantly violated workplace mores by having an affair with an intern?

I actually love this attack.  Somewhat because of its sheer stupidity--how the fuck does Bill's mistake reflect on what Hillary Clinton wants to do for women?  She didn't have the affair, for Christ's sake.  But moreso I love it for the fact that there is nothing--and I mean absolutely nothing--that unites Democrats (even ones that aren't all that fond of the Clintons) like bringing up the utter sham that was the impeachment of Bill Clinton over the Lewinsky affair.  It's like throwing blood in the water near a group of hungry sharks--some poor creature is going to get torn to shreds pronto.

You know someday there's going to be a lot of political science professors who make their living by teaching seminars on how not to run political campaigns--with a bevy of bullet points showcasing today's republican party.

Peace,
