Sen. Clinton Touts Woman for President

Sen. Clinton Touts Woman for President

SENECA FALLS, N.Y. -- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, standing outside an abandoned knitting mill that will become the new home of the National Women's Hall of Fame, said Thursday she hopes America is ready for its first woman president.

"It just depends on when and if that happens," the former first lady said. "Stay tuned."

Clinton continued to duck questions about whether she will run for the White House in 2008, saying yet again she is completely focused on her re-election this year.

But Clinton said that when it comes to a woman holding what she called "the toughest job in the world, some day it will happen."

3. Yeah, a REAL woman would be a very nice change
But not the sort of saber-rattling male-wannabe I think she's referring to.

12. We're not giving you our votes, you warmonger
And we know that even war supporters like you will not get our votes. Go home Hilary. You can't do anything right. I'll vote for Woolsey or Lee or Kaptur or anyone but you.

18. What's all this "we all" stuff?
I wouldn't and no progressive I know would. And our alternative is not staying home -- it's voting for someone else (not Republican or Democrat) or it's writing in a name (what I did in 2004). The days of "shut and and vote" are over.

20. Hitting the campaign trail in her Daisy Duke outfit...
would win my vote. I don't think she's thirty-five, though. Maybe she could run for Hillary's Senate seat.

You have now entered the Full Monty Python Zone....

Do not adjust your set, there is nothing wrong with it.



Upon reflection: you know, if she just came out and annouced her candidacy, I might think better of her.
