As of late I've become a fan of entertaining/strange political events/stories/people. This election has been a letdown for me in that sense, and in the sense that I still don't know who to vote for. Its hard for me to commit to one candidate when I dislike them both, for reasons I have no desire to go into. The VPs are the same. Biden is a little attack dog, and I hate him. Palin is adorable, but just because I would go to the mall with her doesn't mean I would vote for her.
Onward.
Today, the topic for enlightenment will be The Black Sheep of a Political Family.
Must I really mention Tony and Hugh Rodham? Their $118 million dollar schemes with russian mobsters really didn't help out poor ol' Hillary. We'll blame them for her failed race to the White House. They are why she didn't win. Sure.
Maybe it is an American tradition to have embarassing brothers. Back in the day Jimmy Carter's brother, Billy, pulled down his fly and urinated on the tarmac while waiting for a plane full of foreign dignitaries and reporters. He proudly referred to himself as a "real southern boy...red neck, white socks, and Blue Ribbon Beer". (Thats a direct quote)
Lyndon Johnson had the same problem, but didn't wait around for a disaster to ruin things before he took office. The secret service kept his brother under White House Arrest in the months leading up to his election.(He had a bad habit of accepting too many drinks from incognito reporters in local bars, who would then ply him for embarassing stories, dirty secrets, shameful anecdotes, what have you.)
Last but definitely not least, Uday Hussein definitely wins Problem Child Of The Century award. Uday murdered his daddy's (Saddam Hussein) personal assistant and old friend, Kamal Hana Gegeo, at a state party. The murder weapon was an electric carving knife.
The Rodham family looks pretty good now, huh?
Hooray for learning! GO WATCH THE NEWS.

Thanks for the invite to the blog. The computer wasn't letting me accept my invitation, but that doesn't seem to be hindering my access. I am a happy woman.
