Hillary Rodham Clinton wants you to know that if you were to elect her president of the United States, she would be president and that, as a woman, it would be good for her to become the first woman president ever.

Yeah, I know. She gets some of her votes for just being a woman. Beeeeg, theeeeek, feminista planoso, eh cavaron? She’s Jeb Bush, only female, a DINO, and a bit more slimy and untrustworthy.
A lot of her votes. Although Mr. Sanders appears to be closing in rather fast. Shades of 2008…
«A lot of her votes.» Ted, that was rather cryptic ; I seem to have missed the reference. Are you stating here that Ms Clinton receives a lot of her votes simply because she’s a woman – something about which, as you point out in your cartoon above, she’s not reticent in her campaign ?…

The State eats out the substance of Blacks, women, and other minorities.
Isn’t fair that a few Blacks, women and other minorities get a chance to eat out some of that substance too?
… and it would be good for me to be the first hippy biker to become president. Reagan was so corrupt he used Air Force One on beer runs for Coors. No way I’d do that – it’d be Jack Daniels delivered in time for breakfast. Blue Oyster Cult would play the inaugural ball while the first ladies pole danced.
The presidential limo would have two wheels and no muffler. The secret service would wear motorcycle jackets with the presidential seal on the back.
hmmmm, pig roast on the south lawn, hill climb on the Lincoln Memorial followed by a Love In in the oval office. Coupla kegs, nitrous balloons, a little electric koolaid and we’d be ready for the hill climb on the Washington Monument.
BOC?? ya got my vote!!!
Gender testing seems to have fallen out of favour in sports events, is it mandatory in US presidential elections ?… 😉

Well, Hillary does have more balls than Dumbya ever had…
I’m not so sure – did the decision to attack Libya in 2011 demand more «balls» than the decision to attack Iraq in 2003 ? I hope, in any event, that if Ms Clinton does manage to make it into the Oval Office as anything more than an observer of the hi-jinks that seem to take place there from time to time, she doesn’t attempt to demonstrate her «ballsyness» by provoking a war with China. But I am not sanguine….

Dude, my post was meant as a cheap shot rather than serious commentary.
But … Hillary protested the Vietnam war while Dumbya dodged the draft. He later styled himself a ‘war president;’ sent troops into harm’s way based on lies; and added insult to injury by playing dress up in a military uniform. That doesn’t exactly fit my idea of manliness.
Crazy H, I am perhaps less impressed than you with Hillary Rodham’s protests against the US war in Indochina in 1970, considering the fact that not so many years earlier, she was campaigning for Barry Morris Goldwater for US president, and not so many years later – and consistently thereafter, she’s been a card-carrying member of the bomb-’em «liberals», intent on US-sponsored regime-change around the world. But as a staunch advocate of the Peace of Westphalia, I believe everybody should be able to choose not only his or her path to Heaven, but his or her heroes/heroines freely and according to his or her conscience…. 😉

You don’t think it took a lot of balls from Bush to come out as a cheerleader in the sixties?
Of course, maybe he was looking for a deferment.
Henri –
What we have here is a failure to communicate. I am not impressed by Hillary Clinton by any means. However, I am far less impressed by Generalissimo el Busho.
@glenn – I went looking for pix of the famous Yale cheerleader, and surprisingly none of them make it clear whether the uniform accentuated camel toe or a package.
I think the CIA redacted any pix which would clear up the confusion.
Crazy H, I am hardly an admirer of George Walker Bush or a supporter of his – or Richard Bruce Cheney’s, as the case may be – disastrous policies. However, I do wish to point out that were Hillary Rodham Clinton to become US president, the consequences could well be still more catastrophic than those ensuing from the coup d’état of December 2000. A pronounced need to show who’s wearing the pantsuit is not what the world needs in a US president….
Henri
I don’t think it takes any balls whatever to do what one knows he or she can do with absolute impunity. But I also feel that the expression of “having balls” to be a hetero-normative patriarchal sexist misogynist slur and you all need to apologize to my offended sensibilities.
CrazyH, how can one be less impressed than not impressed at all? 😉
«Gender cannot be tested for. A person is whatever gender he/she/it says he/she/it is.» «JackHeart», only a 27-year-old fool who takes himself/herself far too seriously could misinterpret my comment about gender testing in the manner you have managed to do. Kudos !… 😉
Henri
@Jack
” how can one be less impressed than not impressed at all? ”
By reading your posts. 😉
Henri,
You are being a cis-gendered bigot. Gender cannot be tested for. A person is whatever gender he/she/it says he/she/it is.
