NOT being a candidate for President is so liberating.
A year ago Hillary Clinton was consumed with ambition and her voting record as a Bush-enabler was solidly pro-war and pro-domestic spying. She was more Joe Lieberman than Russ Feingold. She was so determined to "look presidential" (the apparent definition of looking presidential for the media is being a neo-conservative) she routinely spat in the faces of Democratic party regulars and party activists.
Now she is free, free I say to vote her conscious. She voted against the FISA sellout. She voted with the minority as the majority acted to trash the Constitution. She did the right thing. Had she only voted her conscious occasionally in the past few years Hillary would be the Democratic nominee for President today.
As I wipe the loogie from between my eyes that came from Barack Obama I am reduced to hoping his FISA vote is just political gamesmanship.
