Hillary Clinton thinks Iowans are stupid - very stupid. Here's what I'm talking about.

TODAY:

"Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton says she wants to take a close look at foreign trade deals. She says she'll call a 'time out' on trade agreements if she wins the White House.'" - Associated Press, 11/12/07

FOUR DAYS AGO:

"Clinton Says Yes to Peru Deal... Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, after prodding from a rival campaign, has issued positions on several trade deals currently before Congress, including her support for an agreement with Peru that is dividing her party." -- New York Times, 11/8/07

As I said, Hillary Clinton clearly thinks Iowans are stupid. Sure, I guess technically the two statements don't contradict each other - she could be for a strategic pause when she's president, but not just now. But I'd say that would be a pretty strange position. Why should we take such a pause in a year, but not now?

No, I'd say this is talking out of both sides of the mouth. She says she's for a "time out" - but only later. Not now, when the Senate votes really count. Iowans should trust her when she's elected, even if she doesn't follow the spirit of what she pledges right now. And I'd say she thinks Iowans are too stupid to notice.

1. David Sirota is still working for the anti-Clinton Huffington Post, right?

So what else did you expect from that semi-"news" blog?

6. Adriana is constantly bashing and slurring Hillary Clinton

and Bill also. I think she got there panties in a twist because he didn't make a pass at her.

2. so, OhioChick, per your earlier Post

a couple of Threads below, would one assume that Obama -- with his support of the Peru deal as well -- thinks Iowans are stupid, too?

Sad thing is, she may be right.

5. And Obama doesn't say he thinks he says he knows that anybody

that doesn't vote for him and doesn't bash Hillary is worst than stupid.

9. well, I think David Sirota is stupid

but, heck, the guy's got to make a living and I suppose writing drivel like this pays pretty well.

You know, Hillary did explain her vote for the Peru deal fairly well, along with her rejection of several other trade deals, so I would suggest that she is "taking a closer look". I understand that Mr. S. has an axe to grind (and a career to make), so it's understandable why he would leave that kind of stuff out...
