Obama and Clinton

Don’t get me wrong. I would vote for Obama if he was an Albino, Penobscot Indian whose religion was sun-worshipping, or if his sex life included sleeping with a horse (except, as Jackie Mason noted, if it were MY horse). This would all make no difference to me … IF he was the most qualified person running for President, and I felt that he would be the best person suited to deal with emergencies and the unexpected crises facing the next President that will certainly arise. Unfortunately, Obama has nothing in his background or foreground that indicates he is that person. Sure, he is charismatic, but so was Clark Gabel, but I would not have voted for him for President. Obama’s experience in governance is non-existent. This is not a place for on-the-job training. If I wanted to hire somebody to run a supermarket I would want a person who has some experience in running a supermarket. As for running a country, I would want – at least – a bit more experience.
Talking about experience, Hillary Clinton keeps saying she has 35 years of experience. Her experience, doing what? Her experience is having been married to the man who was the President. Since when does sleeping with somebody give you experience? If I knew a doctor’s wife or girlfriend, does that mean because of sleeping with him she is competent to take out my appendix? As a matter of fact, if sleeping with Bill Clinton gives Mrs. Clinton the experience to run the country, there must be 100 girls around Washington who could claim even better – or at least more – experience through him.

BRITNEY SPEARS

In a crazy sort of way, Britney Spears being taken to a mental institution may be the best thing that ever happened to her in terms of her custody case. It’s one thing to be a rotten, spoiled, willful and immature brat. These are basic character traits with which the law deals, with difficulty. But if a person is a drug addict or an alcoholic, or mentally ill person, the courts are experienced with those situations and when a parent is so possessed of such an affliction, usually when they come into court they present proof they have sought treatment and are actually undergoing treatment. America loves to give people second chances, and in those sad cases, the courts usually condition visitation and/or custody upon continued treatment and policing of that treatment. If I were Britney’s lawyer, that’s exactly how I would play it: she has an emotional problem for which she is undergoing treatment, but basically she is a decent person who is ill, and illnesses of this sort today can be, if not cured, at least contained, with the victim being able to function appropriately.
