Houston, the Ego has Landed!

Okay, this has been a bad week for two prominent women in politics. Both of them claimed that they were wronged, and the outcome is nothing short of breathtaking. Elizabeth Edwards, God love that woman! Her husband decides that during a year when he was putting his family through the grueling sacrifices needed to run a bid for the highest office in the land, to commit adultery with a younger single woman. After being outed by the National Enquiror, he finally had a come to Jesus interview with the very respectable Bob Woodruff. He beat his chest, he mea culpa'd and said all the right things, but guess what dude, you disgraced your family, peed all over your marriage vows and put a whole lot of energy into a sterotypical bimbo when you should have had your head in the game of politics. But what has your wife done? She looked at her life, and her kids and said "I decided to stay in the marriage because one day John will be the only parent they have." This my friends is a wise woman. She is giving her children a very big gift by moving past her husbands unspeakable selfishness, and being the best mother she can be. She knows that with her diagnosis she only has a finite amount of time to give to them, and she isn't wasting it on the emotional fallout that is the backwash of such narcissistic peccadillo's. Her pain of course is making headlines everywhere, and John Edwards should be held accountable for his actions, even if they include a child.
The second woman in the news, Senator Hillary Clinton, also still seems to be smarting from her loss. OH boo hoo, her legion of fans are still at the wailing wall, bitter with the unimaginable truth that their candidate lost. But you know what-she did. She lost. Get over it and move on for the love of God! This last few weeks the people who voted for Hillary have continued to speak up and make their needs known. They feel powerful, they feel like pushing the rest of the Democrats around, and now they want their candidate to have her name on the floor at the Convention. Hillary, being the sore loser that I believe she is, keeps claiming that there is nothing she can do about it. "Aw shucks, what can I do, they want to be heard!" You know what she could do if she had one ounce of class and really gave a rat's ass about the party? She could, in one speech, tell her followers how much she appreciates all that they did for her, and how much she feels loved by the adoration and attention. She could then, if she wanted to, ask them, each and every one of them, to show their support for her and her ideals by PUTTING THEIR FULL SUPPORT BEHIND BARACK OBAMA. But this is not what she's been doing. She's been virtually invisible since she lost and many have offered that she and Bill secretly hope Obama loses so that she will have a better chance of running in 2012. I'd like to be all dewy eyed and optimistic and say it isn't so, but the truth is pretty transparent, and both Bill and Hillary are letting their sychophantic fan base work as their surrogates to continue this psuedo election bid for Hillary. It's a disgusting show of arrogance on Senator Clinton's part, and any shred of respect I had for her is gone. She plays the helpless female in this whole issue, when in effect she has great power and chooses to keep it hidden so that maybe, just maybe something will happen at the eleventh hour and she will finally get her day in the sun. This is a lady that should take a lesson from Mrs. Edwards. You've got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em, know when to walk away, know when to run. Senator Clinton, the cards are all out, you're holding a losing hand and you need to fold em and walk away.
