    Flag Burning

    Sen. Clinton was also willing to sponsor a bill to outlaw flag burning. This has been portrayed as an attempt to stave off a constitutional amendment to ban flag burning. Great. So what. Not exactly a stirring defense of the First Amendment.

    HC is a junior senator with nothing much to show for it other than her own celebrity. She is one of those people celebrated for being well known.

    Put Hillary up against Bill Richardson. Who? Right. Richardson has far more experience and smarts than HC but doesn't get celebrity treatment. This nation has to grow up and elect competent administrators rather than celebrities. I think it was Malcolm X who warned against letting the newspapers chose your leaders. Right again Malcolm.
