Hillary's Horrendous Kennedy Answer

By James Poulos on 1.31.08 @ 9:15PM

Shamelessly reminds us that she is, in fact, a woman running for President. Ruthlessly ignores the question.

Obama pretty potent on the Romney question. But trouble lurks for McCain too.

It's not a gripping debate, but when it comes to Hillary's vacuousness and banality and craven manipulation, what you see is what you get. A droning Obama can step outside and thrill. A droning Clinton? For the rest of your long lives, boys and girls.
