Hillary and Rush
The past few weeks have been absent two headline makers but for quite different reasons. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is recuperating following surgery to repair a broken elbow. Rush has been busy changing his underpants after having read the news this week, especially about liver damage that could result from consuming too much pain killers.
There are many pressing matters dealing with foreign affairs, North Korea, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Honduras, and the two stand-bys, Russia and China to name just a few. Clinton’s unfortunate injury may, however, be a management blessing in disguise. With her mobility hindered, Hillary must communicate with subordinates and charge them with the hard work of face to face negotiations. This is sort of how diplomacy and good government should work.
From Limbuagh’s perspective things could not have been worse. His buddies, John Ensign and Mark Sanford have, both, admitted to being hypocrites joining a long list of others who Rush idolizes. On top of that, Michael Jackson has died, most probably from a over prescription of pain killers. This bleak news was topped this week by government reports about Tylenol and the fastest route to liver damage. And if that was not enough, Al Franken has been certified as the next Senator from Minnesota. What could Rush possibly talk about?
For the rest of us, the fourth of July holiday will give us peace and quiet without having to listen to Rush, and comfort that the State Department is still in good hands.
