Clinton saturation
Just came across a copy I made of this delightfully typical offering from CNN some months back, originally linked at http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/10/09/clinton.honored.ap/index.html :
Clinton inducted into women's hall of fame
Nine others enshrined
Sunday, October 9, 2005; Posted: 7:58 a.m. EDT (11:58 GMT) New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton once wanted to be an astronaut.
SENECA FALLS, New York (AP) -- Inspired by Alan Shepard, the first American to journey into space, a 14-year-old from suburban Chicago wrote a letter to NASA in 1961 asking what she needed to do to become an astronaut.She got a curt reply: Girls are not being recruited by the nation's space program."It had never crossed my mind up until that point that there might be doors closed to me simply because I was a girl," recalled the letter writer, better known today as Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, as she was enshrined Saturday in the National Women's Hall of Fame, along with nine other inductees.
Feel like gagging? The fund-raising Democrat superstar tagged at the C for you-know-what news network as the "sitting first lady" and the "junior Senator from New York", now enters the beginning of the end game of her Trojan Bill presidential bid with the media wind in her sails.
Strategically positioned for the world camera at the Corretta King funeral and the Bush State of the Union, she denies being the intended beneficiary of Geena Davis' "Commander in Chief" character.
Now that series' ratings along, coincidentally, with Hillary's approval numbers are falling through the floor. Despite massive financial backing, it's starting to look like somebody other than Hillary - even if that person also has an arrangement with Bill - must lead the Democrats into the next presidential election.
