This Strip Reeks of Failure

TODAY'S STRIP

If CJo wasn't out of the country, I think the term he might use to describe today's PC would be "ham-fisted."

Scott Stantis still desperately wants to make fun of Hillary Clinton. So it doesn't matter to him that it makes zero sense that she would be interviewing for the role of financial director for Winston's campaign, which has NO MONEY. If she herself has campaign debt, why waste her time with a candidate that's just as broke as she is?

But Stantis never lets "logic" ruin his attacks on Senator Clinton. Attacks which are just a little bit more than sexist, but hey - par for the course when it's a Republican trying to be funny.

After yesterday though I have a newfound respect for Hillary. She voted against the horrible FISA bill, something that Obama didn't do. If I had known that back during the primaries, she would have gotten my vote. Instead, we're now a country where the government can spy on its citizens without warrants, the president can tell corporations to break the law and they can do it without fear of penalty, and while we know that the telecoms did spy on us illegally for years, we'll never know what they were doing because they're immune from prosecution. Thanks, Senator Obama - nice to know that you and the rest of the Democratic leadership in Congress are willing to bend over backwards to give President 23% Approval Rating everything he wants and more.

Sorry Mrs. Clinton - instead of being the nominee, you get guys like Stantis making fun of how you dress and how you look.

Okay, in parallel universe:

Frame 1:
Carmen: Tell us why you want to be Winslow's finance director, Senator Clinton

Clinton: I need a fallback.

Frame 2:
Carmen: A fallback for what? You are a senator from New York, after all.

Clinton: In case McCain doesn't make me his vice-president

Frame 3:
Carmen: But aren't you a Democrat? Winslow needs a Democrat.

Clinton: I’m not going to comment on any specific allegation, because I’ve learned we need to put all of this into context.

Frame 4:
Carmen: Senator Clinton, I just don't think this job is a good match for your, um, capabilities.

Clinton: Well, Winslow can't afford my pantsuits anyway.

Okay, that took me five minutes.
