Clinton And Edwards: Too Cool For School
July 17, 2007
Everybody knows it requires a big ego to run for President. You have to stand before the American people time and time again and somehow project that you are worth listening to. To be a superstar, you have believe that you are a superstar to a certain degree.
But the disgusting egocentric comments caught on video last week by John Edwards and Hilary Clinton take the cake.
Following the July 12, 2007 NAACP convention, Edwards and Clinton spoke privately, unaware that their comments were being recorded. Their not-so-secret discussion showed them revisiting a plan to rid future debates of lower profile candidates.
Certainly other candidates in attendance such as Chris Dodd, Joe Biden and Bill Richardson consider their run for office to be serious.
As for the candidates that probably realize they have no realistic shot at the Presidency: The only reason that Mike Gravel seems to have been placed on Earth is to say to us, "Look at these candidates closely... there's a chance they are full of bologna." There's nothing trivial about that. Dennis Kucinich spoke for himself, "Whispering, trying to rig an election, then denying what's going on and making excuses. It all reflects a consistent lack of integrity."
After the egomaniacal comments, both Barrack Obama and Dennis Kuscinich approached Edwards and Clinton to bid them goodbye. The intonation in Hillary Clinton's voice when she said "Goodbye Dennis" would make anyone who remembers High School cliques cringe. You almost expets them to giggle when Kucinich is out of earshot, and hear Edwards say, "Oh my God... gross... I can't believed you talked to him."
At this point in the race, who does Hillary Clinton think she is? Does John Edwards really believe he is any closer being President than Bill Richardson or Joe Biden. I don't believe it. No one I know believes it. Achieving respect and admiration is cumulative process. Before Edwards and Clinton define themselves as the super cool kids of the political school, they should take a look at some old photographs. It wasn't that long ago that Dennis Kucinich looked like a movie star compared his more-recognizable competition.
As for dictating who should be considered seriously for our nation's highest office...
If I may offer my fellow candidates Clinton-Edwards a word of advice... just tell the American people your position on the issues and, maybe in the spirit of Democracy, you could let us work on slimming down the field of candidates. I know we're only simple American people... not the all-seeing Gods of politics that you seem to be... but we do have a passing familiarity with our nation's electoral process. We don't have "guys" that can talk for us, but maybe if we talk amongst ourselves, we can figure something out.
Presidential Candidate Mr Breakfast will continue to point out the foibles and goofs of all the candidates (regardless of party) until they reveal a position on the importance of breakfast.

Edwards
...at some point... we should try to have a more serious and a smaller group...
Clinton
We've got to cut the number... because they are just being trivialized.
Edwards
...and they're not serious. They're not serious.
Clinton
You know... I think there was an effort by our campaigns to do that. It got somehow detoured. We've gotta get back to it... Our guys should talk.

Oh did Candidate Clinton get bruised by comments about her husband.
Talk about sore Presidential Candidates. Every candidate has the right to debate the issues just as voting Americans have the right to learn about what each candidate has to say.
Are they afraid that Americans will vote for a non-Democratic or non-Republican Candidate?
