I have traveled the world on behalf of our country – first in the White House with my husband and now as a Senator. I’ve met with countless world leaders and know many of them personally. I went to Beijing in 1995 and stood up to the Chinese government on human rights and women’s rights. I have fought for our men and women in uniform to make sure they have the equipment they need in battle and are treated with dignity when they return home.

I’ve met with countless (I read clueless world leaders) world leaders? Apparently math too is not her strong suit. Either that or in keeping with BJ traditions, there have been additional terminology redefinitions at the behest of the unelectable Clintoon.

Subtitled movies!

Hillary Rodham Clinton ridiculed Democratic rival Barack Obama on Tuesday for his contention that living in a foreign country as a child helped give him a better understanding of the foreign policy challenges facing the U.S.

So, how does being married to a lying, incompetent former president who’s foreign policy was based on his approval rating rather than the good of the nation make Hillary qualified?

But I did stay at a Holiday Express inn once……

Democrat caucuses are interesting here because they don’t use a secret ballot. People do try to bribe or intimidate people openly to change their votes and allegiance during the precinct caucuses. Some do it with their fists.

Unless, of course, Richardson, say, does better than expected, and the mediots decide to make him the big story as they move on to New Hampshire.

As for Obama’s childhood experiences, for some reason this reminds me of the Yankees’ search for a new manager, after George Steinbrenner’s sons, who have taken over the team because the Boss, 77, is too ill to continue, made an offer to Joe Torre that he turned down. The candidates were former Yankee hero and Torre’s bench coach, Don Mattingly, who had never managed before, and Joe Girardi, who had managed the Marlins and was named NL manager of the year, but couldn’t get along with the Marlins’ owner and was fired.

Mattingly, when asked by reporters about is lack of managerial experience, said he’d managed lots of games “in his head.”

Girardi got the job. Mattingly is now in LA with Torre. As a bench coach, where he’ll get to manage more games in his head.

Do they cancel each other out?

She probably has lots of time under her belt making small talk to Yassar Arafat over coffee.

The term was the left’s attempt to spin George W. Bush as too inexperienced to be president. Two successful terms as governor of the second-largest state in the nation meant nothing to them.

So let’s look at the three leading Democrat contenders.

One has just under seven years in the Senate, no executive experience, and is known principally for (1) bungling a health care package, (2) inability to answer even the most simple questions (unless they’re planted first, and (3) overheating the paper shredders at Rose Law and the White House. And that’s the putative front-runner.

One has less than one term in the Senate, dreams of invlading Pakistan but wants to give Iraq to AQ, and only a few years ago was nothing more than a Chicago ward heeler, although come to think of it, that probably gives him more executive experience than the front-runner.

The third only lasted one term in the Senate, thinks there are two Americas (apparently, one for unscrupulous trial lawyers and one for everyone else) and is tied up with outfits foreclosing on mortgages of the poor while positioning himself as a champion of the downtrodden.

If there was ever a time to question the “gravitas” of a group of candidates, this bunch qualifies.

So why haven’t we heard the word from the usual sources?

ST’s post just points up the MSM bias. If any GOP candidate had the temerity and poor judgement to claim that living overseas at age 10 was foreign policy experience, they’d be hauling out the “gravitas” club so fast and laughing themselves silly. And rightfully so.

In addition to their patriotism, I think it’s long past the time when we question whether any of this bunch has the experience to run a lemonade stand, much less the country.

I assume that Richard Holbrooke or perhaps Bill Richardson will be named Secretary of State. Sane hands at that helm might dissuade Obama from such walks on the mild side as the Iranian proposal.

However, his pronouncements on foreign policy demonstrate a deep lack of understanding of the nasty fact that the US has enemies who are not going to be sweet-talked by even such a charming fellow as B. Hussein Obama. Or Barry, as he used to call himself during his drug-daze in college. Come to think of it, wouldn’t that give him expertise in drug issues?
