Here’s what Hillary herself had to say in a column she wrote in 1995 (when she was supposedly saving the world). Sounds pretty much to be in Laura Bush’s league to me.

“A few years ago, I could never have imagined the range of activities that are part of my life today, such as defending public television, planning state dinners and visiting the CIA with the President.
I have also met a lot of interesting people. Some are famous, like Lady Bird Johnson, Nelson Mandela and Mother Teresa. But most are men and women we never hear about who wake up in the morning, do the best they can, and contribute more to their families and communities than most of the celebrities and public figures whose names regularly appear on the evening news.”

Here’s what I found that she wrote about Ireland. While there’s some nice first lady type stuff – nothing remotely presidential.

Meanwhile, thanks to Hillary's latest ad campaign, guess which presidential candidate most Americans now want to "answer the phone at 3:00 AM"? McCain. I wonder if a clip reel of her praising McCain's experience will be used at the Republican National Convention, or just in the ads afterward.

Did everyone see the story about how one of the kids in Queen Hillary’s 3am commercial (which used stock footage from years ago) supports Obama?

Wow. She gave them phone calls and encouragement. Nothing says commander in chief than an encouraging phone call!!

Come on ! Get with the program! Its only fancy speeches that don’t count. Just words. Oh…. except for the speech that she gave in China. Now THAT was a speech because she was really mean to the Chinese Government in one of the paragraphs.

(I’ve been lurking for a while, and couldn’t resist commenting on this one.)

Jon Stewart noted that the phone in Hillary’s “3 am” commercial rang 7 times, which seemed a long time. He wondered why the phone wasn’t picked up a bit quicker.

Well, you got to get up, go to the next room, shoo out the floozy, wake up the guy with the experience and get him to answer the phone.

That takes time.

Robster….maybe the blogosphere can pump up the wurlitzer, in much the same way as the republicans do (see “Gore invents the internet”), riding on your comment.

Hiliary WINS Super Bowl – buys a ticket!

Hiliary is CURING AIDS – attends fundraiser!

Wow. That’s like me taking credit for helping my Raiders win the AFC Championship in 2002 because I watched a few games on television and bought a jersey and hat. (laughs)
