First off Red Carpet Refugees needs to say Congrads to The LA Kings for winning the Stanley Cup! That makes 2 times in 3 years. So for all of you that say that LA is not a hockey town, well....STANLEY CUP! #told
Some of you have shared with me your thoughts on what you see as my continuing to to place a microscope on the Right Wing. In my own defense would I would like to say that they make it so easy with the double speak, coupled with their double standards. To me the Tea Party are the Kardashians of the political world! But today I would like to talk about our next presidential election. And what better place to start then the great hope for the Democratic Party!
The former First Lady, Senator Clinton, Madame Secretary or "the brains behind Bill", whatever it is you call her Hillary Rodham Clinton has claimed a place in American history and refuses to step aside until she is finished. But is she finished? Will she run? Can she win? As Mrs Clinton said herself in a recent People Magazine interview "I have a decision to make...."
But once again Boy About Town wants to go behind the sound bite & talk about what happens when that decision, which I believe has already been made, is announced. So lets play along that the former Secretary Of State is spending time getting ready to be a Grandma, I believe that. Enjoying watching TV with Bill, I kinda can go with that. And is spending time in prayer to figure out if another run for The White House is the right thing to do, sorry girl ya lost me. At this point there is no other person, of either party, that has the chops, the experience or the balls to lead the USA. So with President Obama clearly giving his blessing & groups forming such as "I'm Ready For Hillary" could we please stop the peek a boo game and get to building some bridges with the moderates. Now I am sure all this has been happening out of view of the public view but what I am saddened by is the fact that while we will & should debate a candidates worthiness for public office why are we, with this candidate, asking question that would never be asked of a male. We know Bill cheated with an intern by the name of Monica Lewinsky. Why would anyone ask Hillary Clinton if she has read Monica's piece in Vanity Fair? Quick side note, amazing piece that I think everyone should read. Why would anyone ask about a concussion from years ago? Paul Ryan, who ran for Vice President, has said that he has suffered AT LEAST THREE concussions, but I have yet to see anyone asking if his long term health & his ability to serve has been effected. And the Grandma questions......REALLY? Questions like "How will becoming a Grandma effect Hillary's decision making process?" Was Mitt Romney asked that question...I am guessing no. So is the fact that Hillary is clearly a woman an issue? The fact that we are talking about it shows it is. So talk people. It is not going to change the fact that SHE is a force of nature that will handle this in her own time, in her own way. Hillary has said "we need to break that highest, hardest glass ceiling." So we wait....sledgehammer in hand.
Stay Fabulous......Boy About Town
