Hillary's Far From The Worst Thing

Do you recall a campaign about a year ago, started by conservative radio host Shaun Hannity, called the "Stop Hillary Express"? It was all about making sure that we all knew (and feared) the real Hillary Clinton and her liberal and questionable legacy she shared with her husband. It's difficult to say how much effect that had, if any, in her loss to Obama.

Looking back, it was the dumbest move any of us could have made, or supported, considering what we got instead!

Then last fall, the big concern was that the Democratic nominee for president was now considering Hillary for an appointment to the Supreme Court, and oh man, we were worried and upset about that! It was followed by more conservative whining and wrangling.

Looking back (again), it was a total waste of breath considering who Obama's nominated instead.

And so now, Hillary is our Secretary of State, and you know what? I'm the last person you're going to hear complain about it. I'm actually thankful that Obama thought that he owed her something. Because can you imagine what we might have gotten in her stead? Bill Ayers? Rod Blagojevich? Bernadine Dohrn? Alec Baldwin? Hey, anything's possible with this guy.

Politics are strange aren't they. Who would've thought that Hillary, just another run-of-the-mill liberal, would look so benign? It's all relative isn't it?
