I’m greeted with a picture of Bill and Hillary smiling and waving to the cameras.  In the background are some beautiful green trees, the sun is shining down and Hillary’s hair looking very blonde and Bill’s silver hair looking like a halo…  The image looks like its right off the front cover of an AARP monthly mag or a commercial for Depends, I’m not sure which.

And the title is
“Hill and Bill: We Aren’t Going Anywhere.”

I don’t know about you but when I read that title and saw the image I was reminded of certain ‘guests’ I’ve had at dinner parties in the past who didn’t realize it was time to leave.   You give all of the visual cues…. start cleaning up, put the trash out, ask if they need you to call them a cab, yawn relentlessly as they’re rambling on, but you still end up telling them its time to go because you have to be up early.  But of course you’ll add that you can’t wait until the next time you get together to hear the rest of their analysis of the politics of American Idol. 

It seems that Bill and Hillary have reached that point where they’ve been told…’Its time to go!’ and they responded with ‘We’re not going anywhere!”  So thinking back on my dinner party analogy, maybe its time to call the party police? I’m not sure what Miss Manners would say about calling the police on needy guests, but I’m pretty sure that Amy Sedaris would think it perfectly acceptable.

I think you miss the point. Hillary is running for president and the message is she is not a quitter. I’m glad she has the fortitude to stay in the race knowing that the right-wing attack machine will wipe up the floor with Obama in the general election.

So, comparing her to unwanted houseguests really serves to trivialize her fight and gives the false impression that she is not doing anything to help our country. With that said, please remove this from your blog.

Thank you!

Hi Madeline, thanks for your comment. How about we make a deal then. You make Hillary and Bill go away, and we’ll remove this representation of our constitutionally guaranteed right of free speech, how’s that for a deal?

Let us know if you accept the terms. Then, as long as we don’t see Hill and Bill until after the election, we’ll leave this down. If she magically appears, we’ll not only repost this but we’ll also send the proof that your campaign is disingenuous to the entire country!

Love ya,
Debbie.
