Hillary — Pearl Necklaces, Diamonds, or Both?

And of course, Senator (Wannabe “President”) Hillary Clinton says “BOTH“.

Please excuse the photoshop and avert your eyes if you are faint of heart. And I apologize for stooping to such lows, but there are just SOME candidates who’ll bring out the worst in a guy… and “The Hill’s” one of ‘em when it comes to me…

CNN Spokesman Confirms Network Chose “Diamonds And Pearls” Question
By Greg Sargent

Okay, we’ve got some more detail for you on the controversy surrounding CNN and the girl who asked Hillary whether she prefers “diamonds or pearls” at the close of last night’s debate.

Specifically, a CNN spokesperson confirmed to me that the network chose that question and asked her to ask it.

But in the network’s defense the spokesperson also says that the girl wasn’t “forced” to ask it. She submitted the question in advance — it was her question — and voluntarily agreed to ask it. CNN selected the question and asked her towards the close of the debate if she wanted to ask it. She said yes.

As you may have heard by now, the girl said on her MySpace page that she was forced to ask this question and that she would have preferred to ask one about Yucca Mountain. She said this in response to the storm of criticism and ridicule the question has since received.

And it looks like the girl is right: Though she did submit the question, CNN did select it and ask her to pose it.

Hillary’s rivals are accusing CNN of going soft on the frontrunner, and they’re pointing to this question, among other things, as proof of this. …” – TPMMucracker

Okay, YES — I admit — I’m PICKING on her. I don’t like her one BIT. And it has NOTHING to do what dangles (or not?) between her legs, but with the eight-PLUS year “project” to mold her as our next President, right in front of our eyes, as if it is “reality TV”. This woman is no more qualified to be the Commander-In-Chief of the world’s strongest military than she is to suddenly move to New York and become their Senator simply because she starts wearing “I Heart NY” t-shirts.

I’m sorry about the “visual”, but the REALITY of this situation is MUCH MORE GROTESQUE than any third-rate photoshop could EVER properly convey. THINK, and then, we’re filing this one under “Duh!”…
