Where I part company with Huck’s supporters is in believing he is any kind of solution. He’s friendlier to the teachers’ unions than any other so-called “cultural conservative” — which is why in New Hampshire he is the first Republican to be endorsed by the National Education Association. His health-care pitch is Attack Of The Fifty Foot Nanny, beginning with his nationwide smoking ban.
Power Line’s Scott Johnson has the story:
Sunday morning, ABC’s This Week ran an interview George Stephanopoulos had done with Sen. Clinton on Friday.
The interview produced this gem:
Referring to a possible delay in the elections, Sen. Clinton said: “I think it will be very difficult to have a real election. You know, Nawaz Sharif [leader of the PML-N, an opposition party] has said he’s not going to compete. The PPP is in disarray with Benazir’s assassination. He [President Pervez Musharraf] could be the only person on the ballot. I don’t think that’s a real election.”
And then it hit me:
Sen. Clinton really didn’t know that the upcoming elections were for individual seats in Pakistan’s parliament. She actually believed that Bhutto, Nawaz and Musharraf would be facing off as individual candidates for leadership of the country in the upcoming elections.
Sen. Clinton didn’t know that Nawaz Sharif isn’t allowed to run for office in Pakistan because of a felony conviction. She didn’t know that President Musharraf won’t be on the ballot because he’s already been elected.
Sen. Clinton, a candidate for the leadership of the free world, apparently doesn’t know the first thing about the country referred to by some as “the most dangerous place on earth.” … Read the rest here.
By the way, about the only thing Senator Clinton knew of Benazir Bhutto was what to wear when she met her.
