ETBlogs Soapbox: A good, ol’-time political smear

  • michael cook · 1 year ago
    Hillary Clinton is looking pretty desperate and pathetic these days.
    But what else should we expect from a woman who slams George Bush for his war in Iraq but won't admit her vote to authorize the fiasco was a mistake?
    Hypocrisy, whether displayed by a man or woman, is never pretty.

    I don't see it as a smear at all. There have been many pictures over the years of our politicians donning the traditional garb of another culture when visiting that country. It's done out of respect, not subversion.
    Mrs. Clinton knew the media would have a field day with the photo.
    The media fell into her trap. I think it shows just how ridiculous and shallow these "professional journalists" are. I've read in other publications the photo is several years old and had been published prior to this, anyways.
    So what's the big deal?
