Hillary’s Upset
According to the good folks at Newsmax.com, Hillary isn’t too happy with a children’s book with a conservative perspective. Here’s the juiciest tidbits in the article:
New York Sen. Hillary Clinton is attacking a children’s book that depicts her as an inveterate liberal who tries to regulate a lemonade stand run by two budding entrepreneurs. The book, “Help! Mom! There Are Liberals Under My Bed!,” by Katharine DeBrecht, stars “Congresswoman Clunkton”, a kind of cartoon version of Nurse Rachet in a pantsuit who orders the young boys to reduce the sugar in their lemonade and add broccoli to each glass.”
* * *“Can’t wait for the sequel, Help! Mom! I Can’t Read This Book Because Republicans Have Cut Literacy Programs!” Clinton’s spokesman Philippe Reines fumed recently in comments to The Hill newspaper.
A few days later, the Hillary flak launched another attack. “It’s not the liberal under the bed that they should be worried about,†he snapped, “it’s the sales that are in the basement.” In fact, “Help! Mom!” has been flying off bookstore shelves since its release in September, topping the Barnes & Noble bestseller list and climbing on Amazon’s list to just behind “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.”
I’d say that Phillippe doesn’t have much of a sense of humor, especially about Ms. DeBrecht’s book. Then again, how could anyone have a sense of humor working for Mrs. Clinton? Unlike her husband, Hillary doesn’t have a personality.
I also loved reading the part about Philippe snapping “it’s the sales that are in the basement” only to find out that “Help! Mom!” has been flying off bookstore shelves since its release in September…” Isn’t it reasonable to say that Philippe’s the personification of bitterness. If not, he isn’t far from it.
