Ron On Crooked Cankles

The latest from Ron.

My local news channel is an ABC affiliate. This particular area is very densely redneck and retired military, so it’s pretty right-wing in most ways and much of what comes across on the national news very likely doesn’t set well with folks.

I generally check it out in the mornings to see about the weather and any major accidents or roadblocks or construction going on that might affect me or Reggie. The weather guy is a reasonable sort, wrong about as often as most weatherguessers are, but he’s o.k.

So today I woke up a bit earlier than normal . . . Lance havin a cauchemar. Turned on the tube and found ABC world news in progress. Generally it’s just that, world news with a soupcon of fluff thrown in . . . entertainment, bizarre stuff, sports.

This mornin I just happened to catch a moderator in discussion with a HRC supporter and a DJT supporter. Oh, the balderdash, the blatherskite, the rah-rah-rah. Since I was doin a head call, I couldn’t kill the sound or change channels or anything, so I had no choice but to listen, unless I wanted to “La-la-la-la-la” over the voices.

The Trump guy was completely fulla beans, sayin that Trump’s message is the truth and Hillary’s is nothin but lies and hype. Oh, givvit a rest, willya? Trump doesn’t know the truth unless there’s profit in it for him. He’s an entertainer, facrissakes.

Anyway, the HRC supporter, who happens to be a black female – SU-PRIZE, SU-PRIZE!! – was full speed ahead on her chant about how Hillary is the most experienced person in the whole world today “other than Obama himself” (I swear, when she said that I think I heard a choir in the background) to run this country.

She went on to say how well educated, how seasoned, how mature, how wise, how tested, and how fully qualified Hillary is to handle the crucial decisions facing us in these troubling times.

And I left OUT a buncha words ‘cause I didn’t write ‘em down as she was speakin. By the time I got the remote in my hand and could get rid of her, she had recited almost the entire mantra about how great a Secretary of State Hillary was and how many valuable insights she picked up in her many years as the wife of a governor and a president, not to mention her achievements as a senator herself.

My initial reaction was, “Oh, BULLSHIT, lady. Go peddle that stuff to people who wanna hear it.” But then I got to thinkin. Y’know . . . they say that wisdom comes from experience, and the best experience is actually doin stuff and learnin from the mistakes you make in the process, right?

Well, using that criterion, HRC should be about the wisest person on the planet. She’s spent 30 years makin one mistake after another, and each one bigger and more disastrous than the last. HillaryCare – Bosnia – Qadaffi – Bengazi – Syria – Iraq – Radical Islam . . . . you name it: if an error in judgment was available, she latched onto it like Jethro Bodine on a hamhock.

I can’t think of a single major accomplishment she’s made since she finished her law degree back in the early 70s. Hell, she got fired in her first assignment, as I recall, and if I’m not mistaken, she lost her law license along the way. For 40 years now it’s been misstep after blunder after lapse after snafu after misrepresentation after bungle after fubar after equivocation after distortion after coverup after spin . . . . . Jesus Christ, I’m dizzy!

Hell, with that record of failure and the continuing abomination of the Clinton Foundation as her sanctuary, logic would dictate that she IS the wisest, most experienced, most seasoned individual we could find to run this place. Kee-rist, she’s HAD to learn SOMEthin from all those screw-ups and gaffes and indiscretions and foxpaws and unpunished felonies . . . RIGHT??

HRC . . . Her Rotten Heinous – the one we want for that 3 a.m. fone call from an ambassador under attack by devout men angered by a spurious internet video.

Where the FUCK is that subpoena, Comey?
