A few days back a bunch of news junkies like myself were trying to identify the naked woman in Dick Cheney's sunglasses. While some think they found the answer (some even had the notion to suggest it was just a hand casting a fly rod), I got unconfirmed sources from within the Clinton camp that on the day in question, Hillary Clinton was not campaigning.

Instead it's rumored she looking for a way to get in touch with her base, reaching for booze and guns. This source, of course, asked to remain anonymous, so as to retain their unpaid position with the campaign.

You see here though, considering how I'm a high-class journalist, drawing cartoons, and poking fun, I couldn't let this story just fly over. So I had to do some some field work. Instead of heading down to the tabloid stand (where I do most my initial research) I decided to open up Photoshop, zoom into that photo of Dick's sunglasses (you all know which one I'm talking about but if you don't Google Dicks Sunglasses) and really dive into what was in those glasses. What you have here (seen above) is an exact representation of what I saw (minus a few pixels here'n there).

I've been cringing all weekend as the slow news cycle has allowed the political discussion to be dominated by the "bitter"-gate story. Maybe I'm too elitist to see how this matters to America and the election this year.

Perhaps I've been drinking too many lattes and reading too many books, but in the end I've probably hunted and fished more than Hillary. And I've definitely attended more church sermons (testament by my being atheist) than either Obama or Clinton. And the comment doesn't do it for me. I feel no anger. I see it as the truth. And if he were to say, "city folks, with those blogs, they're bitter." I couldn't agree more. I am bitter and cynical and the hardest thing I've faced this election cycle is just not giving in to the mainstream media and the entrenched interests that be.

This should be a non-story. And yet it isn't.

It's obvious Hillary is spinning this for her own benefit, trying to rile her base, but I'd like to know exactly how many gun-toting, religions fundamentalists, hell-bent against gay marriage and immigration reform are out there? The more Hillary campaigns every day, the more she's looking like a Republican candidate.
