The 2012 democrat party campaign rhetoric about gop-ers wanting to return the country to a '50s era "Mad Men" environment was at times entertaining, but allow me to introduce pot (-lovin' leftists) to kettle over here...
From the out-of-touch, buried-in-the-past file this week comes Hillary's remark that she hasn't gotten behind the wheel of a motor vehicle in nearly 20 years (link below). For most, this might smack directly of a comfortable, fat-cat, DC-insider, elitist aristocrat (which Hillary pretty much is -- eat your heart, Mitt).
But I had a different primary takeaway (go figure): For the next leader of a 20 percent group that likes to constantly bombard us with lowest common denominator, intelligence-insulting, little leftist buzz slogans like "Progress," "Believe" and "Move On," Hillary sure sounds like an ossified old relic of a long bygone era...
The '50s, that is, when millions of American broads never drove cars nor learned how because, by golly, that was the old man's realm -- along with working a job, earning money, and deciding when to bang Gennifer on the side.
If Hillary next shows up on one of those late-nite infomercials hawking old "Ozzie and Harriet" and "Father Knows Best" video collections, I will be unsurprised, but also a bit worried:
Because that'll mean she needs money in the face of a primary challenge threatening her 2016 anointment. But alas, I just don't see Elizabeth Warren, Jerry Brown or Joe Biden cuttin' the mustard on Barbara Billingsley's tea sandwich, do you?
