CLINTON TOO OBSESSED WITH CHICKENS TO BOTHER RUNNING THE STATE DEPARTMENT: Hillary Clinton, former presidential contender and current secretary of state, can do whatever she wants to with her time and infinite powers. She could have found that lost cargo ship that the Russians had to go looking for instead, or maybe she could be curing the deadly Mexican pig AIDS, but no instead she spends her time talking with and about ladies. “She talked chickens with female farmers in Kenya,” reports the Washington Post. This is a disgrace to international diplomacy. [Washington Post]
Chicks, henhouse, cocks…there can never be enough foul metaphors to describe Clintons. Bring ‘em on, Wonkers.
*fowl*
It was either chickens or birth certificates.
Chicken heads be cluckin’
Aw, she was just trying to find Bill.
Hillary knows all about chickens from her childhood as a chicken flicker in rural Park Ridge, Illinois.
Lawrence Wilkerson, who was chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin L. Powell, said that Clinton has to tread carefully in socially conservative regions, particularly those where the U.S. military is at war. “You might be right, in the narrow sense of women in that country or region need to be empowered, but you’re saying something inimical to other U.S. interests,” he said.
Nice of you to come out from under your rock, Wilkerson, and tout the advances for women that the Dubya administration brought to places like Iraq, where I’m sure they thank you idiots every day for giving them the right to wear burqas and be randomly raped and beheaded. Of course the women in Afghanistan fared slightly better — though improving on the Taliban’s human rights record isn’t much of an achievement. Lordy, why do reporters even ask for these people’s opinions anymore?
She can make up for it by sending Bill to save the Russians trapped in the hydroelectric dam.
I could go for a chicken milkshake right now.
She was researching chicken futures.
As long as she doesn’t start crying when she talks about how hard her job is.
I keed! I keed! She’s on our side now. And she should talk to women, since the aid community long ago figured out that if you’re giving stuff away, you need to give it to the women, who will generally use it to help their families. Give stuff to men, they tend to sell it and use the money for hookers and blow. Or the local equivalent.
They’re sharing chicken blood spells to cast on their cheating husbands. A sort of Angel Heart in Kenya.
Aurelio: What’s a chicken flicker? Sounds a little nasty.
This is still better than that time Bush sent Mike the Headless Chicken to talk turkey with decapitated farmers in Kurdistan.
She talked chickens with female farmers in Kenya,
She was either trying to sniff out Obama’s birth certificate so she could become President, or that is Sarah Palin code for “had a lesbian affair.”
I’d hit it.
Hmm, you went with the opening chicken sentence rather than the second one about how “she listened to the excruciating stories of rape victims in war-torn eastern Congo” for joke material? Interesting choice, if a little predictable.
Hey, give her some credit… she *did* take time off to kill Novak.
I hear some chickens attacked her when she got off the plane.
To be fair, in a concession to Republicans, Secretary Clinton offered to bomb some of the chickens there.
Maybe discussing bringing a brand spankin’ new Tyson plant to Kenya? Interesting idea.
I didn’t read the WaPo article. All I know is that if Hillary had been Prez, the Repubs would be begging her to settle for the public option.
I just read that Hillary says that the new deal with Columbia for the US military to use bases in that country is no threat.
I’m sure you all feel much better.
June Cleaver 2.0: Yeah, no shit. They’d be begging her to back off single payer or universal coverage.
