Okay, everyone,
I gave this scoop to Rebeccah Traister herself way-back in the Fall. She never used or even acknowledged (!) my gift. I didn't mind and, for that matter,don't mind...I figured it was her sorta-shy way of granting me permission to feel confirmed in what I'd previously only-thought when I'd read her typings concerning the Duke Lacrosse bidness.
In any case, here's a funny story that also shows why Grown Women cannot vote for Hilary Clinton. It is a true story and worthy of all to hear:
As we all do from time to time, I took my french-in-laws to Savannah last fall. We dutifully trudged the tourist-trail to the Juliette Gordon Lowe House. As you'll all know,she founded the Girl Scouts of America. The house is, basically, a shrine to sturdy-her and them....
We finished up the tour with a viewing of the front parlour, where the guide made us look at a large, framed, rather recent photograph of Laura Bush sticking various medals/badges into the chests of a bunch of 9 year old girls.
the guide told our group of 20-or-so people "Every first Lady since Grace Coolidge has served as The Honorary Chair of The Girl Scouts of America!..."
....and a little, old lady (who hadn't made a peep during the entire, skoolhouse-dreary tour)next to me suddenly exclaimed "Oh my God!......BILL CLINTON!!"
I told her that I'd be more worried about all those cookies than the girls, given that they were all at least 9 years too young to suit his previously-evinced tastes.
THINK of it...if Hilary got the Presidency, she would also get to be commander of the armed forces of the sole remaining super-power on the only planet we inhabit. Bill would get the Girl Scouts.
Anyway....there's a very good reason to drop all support for Hilary Clinton, until she drops him.
Quite Sincerely,
