The world of government isn't as hard to get in to as you might think. You can find distance learning schools to get your degree in Public Administration from one of many prestigious schools such as University of Phoenix.
 

Pulling a Hillary

I was playing basketball over the weekend and one of the funniest moments in trash talk history happened. We were playing pick up ball at a park in LA. A guy drove into the lane and got his shit swatted ("his shot was blocked" for the basketball illiterate). He called a foul.

This happens often in pickup ball when someone gets their shit sent (again, when their shot is rejected). They feel embarrassed and insist on calling a non-existent foul, as if they wouldn't have been sent so badly if they weren't fouled at the same time.

Now, this was a little unusual because even his own team didn't have his back. Everyone on the court pretty much agreed that he was not fouled. But nonetheless he insisted. Then someone came up with a line bound for the trash talking hall of fame, "This guy is pulling a Hillary."

That, of course, means he won't let it go when everyone else can plainly see that the argument is over and he is the only one who still believes he is right. They called him Hillary for the rest of the game. And I laughed and laughed.

The only thing worse than getting rejected is not fessing up to it. That's called "pulling a Hillary."

What a sad thing that such a once revered liberal figure has fallen so far in the eyes of more than half the faithful.

Looking at my comment now that it is on the page, it seems possible to interpret it as me rejoicing and laughing that Hillary has fallen so much in the eyes of so many who once held her in high regard.

To clarify, though I'm sure no one cares, I'm laughing (the LOL part) at Cenk's story and the fact that "pulling a Hillary" has entered the lexicon in that group for referring to someone not admitting reality even when everyone else can see it. I am saddened at what the end result of this election season has wrought.

I'm laughing at BOTH parts.

I've never liked Hillary, I've never trusted Hillary any more than I ever trusted Bill, and there is nothing in her current actions which surprise me in the least.

She has ALWAYS been "Republican Lite," very conservative (again, same as Bill), and the Clintons have shown time and again that they have absolutely no problem with jettisoning the "good for America" in favor of "what's good for the Clintons."

This is the way Republicans think; just look at their platform. They don't give half a shit about America or "promoting the General Welfare," all they care about is how much it will line their own pockets.

Again, Hillary is a dues paying member of the Democrat Leadership Coulncil - Repubs in Dem clothing. These are people dedicated to ensuring that the Neo-Con agenda continues if a Dem is elected. That is why Obama scares them to the holes in the toes of their socks.
