DECONSTRUCTING HILLARY
Re: Harry Pike’s recommended title, “You’ll Have to Ask My Husband About That,” in last Wednesday’s To Hillary With Love:
I’m certain that not all of your readers know enough Texas politics to get that one.
In the 20’s, the top dog in Texas politics was a rather corrupt governor, “Pa” Ferguson. When things got too hot, he didn’t run for reelection — his wife ran and was elected. All knew he was still in charge. The fun continued, and a pardon scandal soon ensued. The situation was summed up by the following three-liner:
Man walking down the street bumps into the governor.
“Pardon me, madam.”
“You’ll have to ask my husband about that.”
All-in-all, a most appropriate title.
— Nathan Zook
LIFE’S UNFAIR
How could you do this to me? The one day I am ill and don’t go near my computer, you have the contest to title Hillary’s book!
Here I sit reading all the great titles, all so wonderfully nasty, and I can’t think of even a close one now. Boy, are you feeling my pain yet? You better!
Whatever the title used and I really have no hope it will be one of yours, the book will be filled with humongous Hillary lies, and should be a treat to read. The right wing better look out because she might get a little nasty! A little nasty! You evil conservatives, how could you hurt such a sweet young thing?
Keep at it!
