Proud of Hillary

I am incredibly proud of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. Her campaign for President of the United States has been record breaking and she has accomplished things no other woman has ever come close to doing. And it's not over yet.

However, with the final two states voting tonight and with uncommitted superdelegates turning the nomination over to her competitor, it looks like Senator Clinton is about to announce her exit from this historic campaign.

I am completely saddened of the treatment of Senator Clinton by the media. But that was always to be expected. What really saddens me is the way her own party started treating her like a pebble in their shoe. It will come back to haunt them.

The DNC flubbed this one. No, you can't change the rules in the middle of the game as the Clinton camp was trying to do. But you also can't punish millions of voters when it was state party leaders and legislatures who broke the rules in the first one. You certainly cannot award a candidate delegates when his or her name failed to appear on the ballet in a state.

As of right now, I have no plans of voting for president in November. I will not support McCain. I do support Obama. However, as a voter in a pretty solid blue state anyways I don't feel I need to vote for him. In a way, I can't bring myself to vote for him. It's not his fault.

My mind could be swayed should Mrs. Clinton pop up on the ticket as a running mate. Of course, everyone is saying that will never happen and that it would be a big mistake. I disagree. What better way to unite a bitterly divided party? People say "Nobody votes for VP." I disagree. Hillary could be up there as Dick Cheney's running mate and she (they) would get my vote. I will be extremely upset should the Obama camp place another woman on the ballot with them. I do not want to see the governor of Kansas on the ballot. I do not want to see another woman get something that Senator Clinton worked so hard to get simply handed to her. To me, it would be a slap in the face.

I expect the announcement to come soon. And if it doesn't, I will stand with Hillary until she chooses to leave or loses this race. But for now, I applaud Senator Hillary Clinton and the ceiling she has broken.

Dick Cheney Cast

Richard Dreyfuss has been cast as Vice President Dick Cheney in Oliver Stone's W. The film also stars Josh Brolin as President George W. Bush and Thandie Newton as Condoleezza Rice.

President Cheney

According to CNN "President Bush will undergo a routine colonoscopy Saturday, and will transfer power to Vice President Dick Cheney during the procedure, expected to take about two and a half hours."

Is there anything more frightening? I don't think so. Granted, this doesn't mean much since it's only for show and only for a couple of hours but can you imagine what would happen if Dick Cheney were actually to assume the Presidency? I'm not going to hold back...I think the current Vice President is an abomination to the United States and his neo-conservative politics have misled the nation and landed us in the current disastrous situation known as the Iraq War. Is there anything wrong with admitting defeat? The United States still refuses to acknowledge the fact that we lost the Vietnam War. Guess what? Iraq is another loss. Also, the Vice President is a disgrace to the executive branch. Mr. Vice President...you are NOT above the law and you would do well to resign and give the majority of Americans what they want.
