Sarah Palin is NO Hillary Clinton
By: Gita Smith
Imagine: It is the year 2009.
John McCain, having won a narrow victory, is being installed as president. All due pomp and circumstance is being observed.
Suddenly, the white-haired elder rolls up his eyes and pitches forward, dead.
A stunned nation gasps. Then, into his place steps a 44-year old woman with big hair and a few years' experience governing the sparsely populated state of Alaska. She becomes the 44th U.S. President with ZERO foreign policy experience, ZERO knowledge of the inner workings of Washington, ZERO clue about, well, pretty much everything. Oh, except the oil and gas industry which features large in the Alaskan economy. She sat on the state regulatory board for oil and gas, and is rumored to have sold her predecessor's plane on eBay.
She has five children, is anti-choice for women, she is anti-gun control and not particularly well educated, either. It is estimated that more two-thirds of the nation had to Google her when John McCain picked her for his vice president. I feel sure the Washington insiders and lobbyists were licking their lips at the prospect of such a greenhorn coming on the scene.
What possible credentials can she offer compared to worthy veteran senators like Kay Bailey Hutchison and Maine's Olympia Snow?
So if someone in the next few months says to you, "Hey, you wanted a woman for president, you voted for Hillary, whatcha bitching about?" be sure to tell them, "I know Hillary Clinton, dude, and Sarah Palin is NO Hillary Clinton."
