This has been on a lot of blogs already, but since the message is so important, I’m posting it here as well. Please share it on your own blog or send it to your friends.
P.S. For the record, Ellen has publicly endorsed Hillary Clinton, but that’s not the message here.
For those of you who missed SNL this past weekend, they had a dead-on parody (except for Fred Armisen’s take on Obama) of the CNN-Univision Democratic Debate last week which I covered here:
Tina Fey was the host of the show, and she had a spot at her old position on Weekend Update:
Have I mentioned how much I love Tina Fey? Bitch is the new black!
When Election ‘08 is long over and done with and the dust has cleared, this will be remembered as the defining moment for Hillary Clinton’s campaign:
I’ve been as big of Hillary detractor as anyone out there, but it was this that made me reconsider her. The cynics out there will say that it was calculated and staged, but I do think that she really does believe what she is saying and that the emotion is real.
My biggest reason so far for not supporting Hillary is that I didn’t think she could win. Perhaps, and only perhaps, if she showed more of herself like this, she could pull off a victory. I’m not willing to give up on Edwards yet (as I still think he’s the surest bet against a Republican), but should he not make it, I’m beginning to think my support would go to Hillary over Obama. That’s just me though and it’s not definite yet.
Congratulations to Hillary and her supporters on tonight’s win in New Hampshire.
P.S. I’m nearly recovered from my bout with the stomach flu as is Buckaroo. Thank you for all your well wishes, and when I get caught up on things I’ve missed from being sick, I’ll get back to blogging more.
For those of you that still haven’t bought me a lavish but easily-returnable Christmas gift yet (slackers!), here’s an idea:
P.S. The shipping companies haven’t delivered any of your gifts yet. What’s the hold up? It will be hard for them to deliver all of your gifts in the remaining few days before Christmas. They’ll have to have extra staff on-hand and use a special truck just to accommodate all my presents. Next year be courteous to those delivery drivers and try to get them here earlier. Like October.
