Lame Excuse: Hilary Defends the Clinton Dynasty & the "Inevitability" of Her Presidency, Proclaiming That "We Had the Two Roosevelts!" Uh, Weren't FDR & Teddy Barely Even Related?!?

When I heard this statement from Hilary this week, my reaction was, "You gotta be freakin' kidding me over here!"  Teddy and Franklin Roosevelt were only distantly related! To the tune of something like fifth cousins many times removed...

Shit, I've read that two other presidents (Martin Van Buren and Zachary Taylor) were more closely related to Teddy than FDR was! Hell, even FDR's old lady Eleanor (Teddy's niece) was (MUCH) more closely related to Teddy than FDR was! (Which is some weird Allah-damn shit in itself, but I digress).

But if that kind of drivel is going to pass for Hilary's defense of the virtues of tired old political dynasties, then methinks we're in for some real lame-ass horseshit from this broad over the next two years for why no one not named Clinton, Bush or Obama should ever be president again (Lord Help Us All). Maybe Hilary can use these ones next:

- "We had the two Andrews." (That would be Andrew Jackson and Andrew Johnson. No relation).

- "And don't forget the two James'."  (Madison and Monroe were certainly historical presidents, even if not related).

- "We had the two middle initial 'A' guys."  (None other than James Garfield and Chester Arthur).

- "We had the two unkempt beard dudes."  (Rutherford B. Hayes and Benjamin Harrison really could've used different groomers during their time in the Oval Office).

- "We had the Kennedies."  (Hey, Teddy Kennedy's presidency was also inevitable until that damn pesky bridge accident and then when he couldn't remember why he wanted to be president on 60 Minutes in 1980).

- "We had the two Gay Presidents."  (That would be James Buchanan and, according to Joan Rivers, Barack Obama).

- "Not to mention the two Black Presidents." (The aforementioned Barack, of course, plus Hilary's old man, Bill).

- "We had the two Idiot Vice Presidents."  (Never thought we'd ever have one as dumb as Dan Quayle again until Joe Biden stumbled head-first on to the scene).

- "We had the two Dicks."  (In reference, of course, to Tricky Dick Nixon and the de facto 43rd president of the United States, Dick Cheney).

So can we please just put all this "political dynasty" talk to rest once and for all?  What difference, at this point, does it make???
