Hillary Visits An Elementary School
Gleefully stolen from David at Third World County And, while you are at it, go take a look at Third World County, it's a great site, lots of good reading and an eye pleasing design.
Like David, I have no Idea At All if this story is true or not, but it could be. It could be!
So, like, Hillary Clinton goes to an elementary school in New York to talk about the world. After her talk she offers question time.
One little boy puts up his hand. The Senator asks him what his name is.
"Kenneth."
"And what is your question, Kenneth?"
"I have three questions: First - whatever happened to your medical health care plan?
Second - why would you run for President after your husband shamed the office?
And, Third - whatever happened to all those things you took when you left the White House?"
Just then the bell rings for recess. Hillary Clinton informs the kids that they will continue after recess. When they resume Hillary says, "Okay where were we? Oh, that's right, question time. Who has a question?"
A different little boy puts his hand up; Hillary points him out and asks him what his name is.
"Larry."
"And what is your question, Larry?"
"I have five questions: First - whatever happened to your medical health care plan?
Second - why would you run for President after your husband shamed the office?
Third - whatever happened to all those things you took when you left the White House?
Fourth - why did the recess bell go off 20 minutes early?
And, Fifth - what happened to Kenneth?
Yeh, well, it achieves the trifecta of Mass Media Podpeople's Journaistic Standards: it's 1.) "borrowed" from an annonymous source, and 2.) and it's all over the web and 3.) it's "verified" by my biases. What's not to like? It's the "Mass Media Podpeoples' Burkett memo standards" applied to an internet rumor (joke?). You know, the new joint CBS/NYT motto: "All the News That's Fit to Fake, Stolen and 'Verified' by Applied Bias."

First, Hillary could have answered all of those questions.
Second, Bush sure couldn't have answered anything like that. That's why he doesn't talk to people who might doubt him any more.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Jami is entitled to her opinion, that's the beauty of this country. On the other hand, Jami notes that Hillary COULD have answered those questions not recognizing that the answers would sink her (well, Kenneth's questions anyway - the other two questions framed the joke)Too, Bush WOULDN'T HAVE THOSE QUESTIONS ASKED OF HIM WOULD HE? Jami, in spite of our obvious political differences, I hope you'll come back.

Kenneth? Isn't he the guy who knew the answer to, "What's the frequency, Kenneth?" when Dan Rather didn't?

That or the kids last name is Starr. ;-)
