CALL ME SNAKE

Much has been made in the media of Hillary’s staged “genuine” moment when she got all choked up over how hard it is to stay motivated and keep her spirits up during a hard campaign. The pundits claim this was a key factor in her turnaround in New Hampshire. But can people be so stupid as to fall for these fake displays of emotion? (Probably.) How many times have her advisors told her to try to look real?

It’s not just Hillary, of course. Romney has gotten misty on the campaign trail, probably when thinking about how he did not march with Martin Luther King, Jr. Even our hard-hearted president, who thinks nothing of bombing people, gets emotional at times, perhaps in anticipation of a long-awaited day to clear brush.

While we’re on the subject, one other thing that’s bothering me: Hillary ended her victory speech saying “God bless.” To me, that shows great arrogance: She now expects to be the Democratic nominee and is practicing her God blesses so that it will sound natural by the time she’s running against a god-fearing Republican.
