or she wouldn’t be telling shameless lies like this:
WAUSAU, WIS. — At a campaign stop this afternoon, Hillary Clinton’s focus was on the economy and health care but some in the crowd had other things on their minds. Clinton was asked to discuss gun control which prompted Clinton to talk about her days holding a rifle in the cold, shallow waters in backwoods Arkansas.
“I’ve hunted. My father taught me how to hunt. I went duck hunting in Arkansas. I remember standing in that cold water, so cold, at first light. I was with a bunch of my friends, all men. The sun’s up, the ducks are flying and they are playing a trick on me. They said, ‘we’re not going to shoot, you shoot.’ They wanted to embarrass me. The pressure was on. So I shot, and I shot a banded duck and they were surprised as I was,” Clinton said drawing laughter from the crowd.
Yeah, “the fish was HOW big?” kind of laughter, I’m sure.
Clinton’s story led one older gentleman to say, “As long as you know how to use a gun, would you be willing to show Vice President Cheney how to use his?” Both Clinton and the crowd erupted in laughter.
“That was good, that was really good,” Clinton said. “You know I couldn’t believe that, I really thought that I have gotten over being totally outraged by the Bush Administration.”
Oh, a Bush-bashing moment! ‘S’pose that question from the “older gentleman” was scripted?
Clinton continued, “Once he (Cheney) is out of office, the Secret Service is not around to protect people from him. We better be careful about where he goes hunting. Safety protocol would be useful, don’t you think?”
The fact that the incident was a simple hunting accident that was the fault of the guy who got shot doesn’t even enter into this, in the Lefty mind. (And tends to prove that she never actually hunted, and was never actually taught anything about shooting or gun safety, to me.)
Later Clinton was asked whether her daughter Chelsea would run for president in eight years following a Hillary Clinton presidency, to which an amused Clinton said, “Oh no, no, no.”
To which I might add, hell no. We’ve had one Clinton and a wannabe Clinton, let’s not be starting one of those inbred Arkansas dynasties here.
Sheesh. The sheer bullshit quotient of that entire piece is enough to make me lose my appetite. If Hillary Clinton ever went on a duck hunt that wasn’t the Nintendo version, I’ll eat my hat.
The proof here is that her husband still (apparently) has his ‘nads. If she really knew how to use a gun that well, he’d have been gelded years ago.
