Would YOU put this on a resume or trust your life to this???

Ok here's a few scenarios if you can answer yes to any of these then please tell me why.

Scenario #1 -

You're on trial for murder. Your court appointed attorney says to you "Hi, I've never actually done this lawyer thing before, but I sleep with a lawyer every night, and she talks about lawyer stuff. We also go to parties where there are other lawyers and they talk about lawyer stuff."

Would you keep this attorney and not request another one?

------------

Scenario #2 -

You need a heart transplant. Your surgeon walks in and says "Hi, I'm not actually a surgeon but I sleep with a surgeon every night, and he talks about surgeon stuff, and we go to parties where there are other surgeons and they talk about surgeon stuff."

------------

Scenario #3 -

You need a president. A candidate walks in and says "Hi, I have 35 years of experience in sleeping with a former president. I've never actually done much that applies to this job but I've been around people who have for a long time now. I go to a lot of parties full of leaders and dignitaries and they talk about important stuff. This makes me the most qualified. Oh and I also stayed in a Holiday Inn Express. Oh and I worked for Walmart, and tried to get them to change but not really."


----------------------------------------

Now seriously. Obama isn't a former President or anything but what the hell is this experience she's talking about? Seriously. If you were hiring someone and they played up experience as their main qualifying attribute and then put that crap on a resume would you give them the job? Really though?

1. LOL! But I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night ...

The fact she won't turn over the papers that can substantiate that
White House "experience" only proves that maybe it's not as advertised.

2. that doesn't make any sense

The Clinton's made it very clear that she would play an important role in the administration. They took a lot of heat for it. When GW took the White House they said that Laura would return the position of first Lady back to the traditional role.

Don't rewrite history.

5. Ok so they said she would play an important role

What did she actually do though? Nafta? Somalia? :shrug:

Or just the good stuff? But really what did she do? Please do tell. Enough to justify an argument of experience?

And if so, then how well would it float to say that this is a continuation of Bills' Presidency, but not really, but kinda sorta in a good way in the GE. I mean come on. She's hinging her entire candidacy on this experience "ready from day one" blah blah, much in the same way that McDeath has hinged his on the Surge as brought to you by Cialis.

But if this is to be the foundation on which her candidacy is built, then do you think it's possible that she's building a glass house?

6. What did she actually do?

A healthcare plan that managed to alienate the activist left, inflame the activist right, and shut out Congress?

After that, she didn't touch policy with a 10-foot pole, except lobbying for SCHIP, which I commend her for. But I don't know if half a decade as a lobbyist and 8 years as a Senator is really enough experience.

3. I wonder if Hillary actually does sleep with Bill...

"It was not unusual for the First Lady to be unaware of her husband's nocturnal activities; like their idols Jack and Jackie Kennedy, Bill and Hillary Clinton slept in separate bedrooms. In fact, the Clintons had not shared the same bedroom --much less the same bed -- for at least seven years."

7. I don't care, personally, but it's a perception problem for her

...because it gives some credence to the claim that she stayed in the marriage just for her own ambitions, which in general is not something voters seem to like.

4. False premise - that they sleep together

They connive together - like phone sex is all.

8. I wouldn't want to live in a house my husband designed

and he wouldn't want me in court arguing a case for him, nor do I want one of my co-workers serving as my doctor just because her husband is a surgeon!
