Hey, you lucky country, you! Just as the Iraq War revealed so much sad truth about President Bush, Hillary Clinton's campaign has revealed just how fortunate we all are that she won't be President.
After eight years of George W. Bush's tragic attempt to avenge his Father's failure in Iraq, the last thing America needs is another Grudge Presidency that's trying to rewrite history. Scientists have proven that the Hillary '08 campaign was run with the same level of crazy that you'd get if you gave Amy Winehouse nine hits of acid, tied her to a chair and made her watch Natural Born Killers on an endless loop while throwing slices of uncooked Oscar Meyer bologna on her at random intervels.. Even four years of Hillary Clinton could create a butterfly effect that leads to an obliterated Middle East, thirty-eight dollar a gallon gas and a federal ban on blow-jobs.
Both Iraq and the Hillary Clinton campaign were done in by hubris, arrogance, and the unique incompetence that only can come from living in a hermetically sealed alternate universe. Both had poor planning, no exit strategy, and racked up huge debts knowing they could pass it all onto someone else. Both slogged on with constantly changing justifications for their continued existence and had some late successes that didn't solve any of the underlying problems. And John McCain would love to see both U.S. presence in Iraq and Hillary's campaign go on for 100 years.
Of course, there are differences. Hillary's campaign doesn't have the same sickening causality count as the Iraq war. The campaign was Hillary's Iraq but since Hillary voted to authorize the war in the first place, Iraq was also Hillary's Iraq.
(Full Disclosure: Amy Winehouse once smiled at me.)
