On the Burdens of Sainthood
July 30, 2014
Hillary Clinton was interviewed on CNN a few days ago. The concern over “voter dissatisfaction” was brought up, to which Hillary responded “we just get sick of it.”
Awwww, that our “philosopher queen-in-waiting” should have to endure so much disrespect from the rabble it is her self-anointed purpose to bring under collective control is simply too cruel. Perhaps the peasants, prols, and other riffraff need reconditioning by the “village” power-elite. And for god’s sake: shut down that wicked Internet, where people are able to express to one another their “dissatisfaction” that continues to sicken our neo-Madame Defarge.
