I wish I could be as choosy as Hillary Clinton about paying debts:
Perhaps I have a softer heart than Dean Barrett, but having caught only bits and pieces of Hillary’s Kentucky victory speech last night (during American Idol commercial breaks), I was kind of impressed. If it were me in debt to the tune of 31 million smackers–all because of a 99% losing cause–I’d be ducking my wife’s hurled crockery. Hillary, on the other hand, betrayed no sign of panic. There was a relaxed authority about her that I hadn’t seen until that moment. No shouting, no finger-pointing, no copping Obama’s one-liners. And I realized it was the same relaxed authority I’d seen in other presidential candidates when they knew it was all over. Still, you can’t say the Hillary folks don’t have a sense of humor. On Monday evening, the un-dead candidate gave a speech at a Kentucky school called–wait for it–the Transylvania University. No sign of Terry McAuliffe hungrily scarfing down flies, however.
