I am so proud of Hillz. It was an artfully (lawyerly) constructed speech. Just the facts, ma'am. Built point by point, low on rhetoric, high on his own words and deeds.

I got shivers (and cheered a lot) watching it. Political history. American history.

Today I read the looong Politico piece on HR at Wellesley College. Damn it, she is today the woman she has been since she entered student government. This was 1968-69, the country was tearing itself apart, yet her approach was to build bridges between students and faculty and administration and work patiently for incremental, yet substantive, changes. I urge its reading. It was goddamn inspiring.

Fuck the scandals and smear campaigns. They are pure limp-dick bullshit. This woman is a smart, dedicated, tenacious, public-service saint.

By the way, I live in VA, Tim Kaine rocks, and Anne Holton is a goddess. I propose that (in her spare, wickedly over-qualified, time) Anne do the First Lady stuff that Bill is unsuited for. Ya know, help administrate state dinners and shit like that. You can't have enough ladies with great, beautiful gold-plated balls in the White House. Amirite?!

Seriously. He complained that it was "short." She should have spend MORE time artfully trashing him? Hilarious. Sorry, mean Hillz-larious.
