THE OTTAWA CITIZEN
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Sir:
Your observationƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ thatƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton is
“embarrassing herself” is pat on.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚
She is tripping all over herself like not knowing her left foot from the
right and trying to do the light-fantastic on the dance floor
tripping all over her partner’s feet trying to show the worldƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ that she knows it all.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚
You said, “Hillary Clinton, the U.S. Secretary of State, is a dignified and intelligent
woman who was supposed to bring credibility to U.S.diplomacy.”ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ “Dignified”
yes, but “intelligent”, hmmm…I am not sureƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ of that!
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚
It was just last month that she accused Sri Lanka for using rape as a weapon
of war.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ When challenged by the Sri Lankan Government to substantiate her
statement, she and her officials were scrambling to get out of that mess.
It was clear that she was doing her solo Jocular Act on the InternationalƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Stage –
Hillary Goes a Sri Lanka Bashing.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ And she got caught, apologized and embarrassed
the Obama Administration.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚
And that is Hillary Clinton the U.S. Secretary State for you!
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚

I suppose a case could be made to prove that Hilary Clinton is a dignified and intelligent woman. But, no way, could it be argued that she could have been expected to bring credibility to US diplomacy. Hilary Clinton, very simply, carries too much ‘baggge’. Why else did the Democrats reject her and accept Obama? Both in terms of her ‘flawed’ background (in terms of the baggage she carries) and the manner in which she has blundered in the exercise of her role, she is unlikely to add value as US Secretary of State. But, let’s not worry overmuch. After all, George W Bush managed to carry on for eight years and the US is still in one piece!!

George W. Bush did his circus acting as the best clown in history. Then came the Hockey Mum Sarah Palin. Now its the turn of Hillary Clinton the Political God Mother of the Tamil Tiger Terrorist LTTE. Barack Obama needs to watch his back.
