The Clinton saga would be Shakespearean if it weren't so taudry.

Well put. You mean, if Shakespeare had lived in Appalachia?

That comment was unkind and inappropriate. I live in the Southern end of Appalachia. I am seeking to represent the 11th District of North Carolina in Congress, and knock Heath Shuler, the accidental Democrat incumbent, out of office.

I just returned from a two-hour televised debate with all three Republican candidates, followed by the monthly dinner meeting of the Republicans in one of the more rural of the 15 counties in my District.

These are salt of the Earth people. These are hard-working, practical people. These are people you can trust with your life -- and many Americans do exactly that, since young men and women in this area are more likely than elsewhere to join the US military and serve well wherever they are sent.

I am ashamed of the Clintons, both of them. But then, so are most of the people in my District, including the Republicans, most of the independents, and some of the Democrats. Please do not tar us with the Clinton brush.

Yes.
Scene: A trailor park in Arkansas.
in the laundry room Hillery! frantically
scrubbing at blue dress.

Hillery!: “Out! Out! Damned Spot!”

Voice from next room.

Bill: “ Honey, when you’re in Bosnia, pick up some
more Beer-nuts, and watch out for snipers.”

Hillery!: (Grumbling) “Sure send me to Bosnia for
Beer-nuts while he sits around and watches the Hooters
channel.”

Hillery!: (loudly) “Of course dear, it will be good for my foreign policy portfolio.”

Fade to black.

Hmmm, Shakespeare wrote about tawdry people, another word for tawdry is ignoble. just that they were rich and powerful. Caesar’s circle of friends for example or Lady Macbeth. King Lear. Hamlet’s relatives. Yike.

Shakespeare would’ve made a good living today with all the wonderful inspiration we could give him.

However, you can imagine a Midsummer nights dream coming on the months before this election, and who will be Bottom?

She is Illinois and Arkansas trash. That is nowhere near Appalachia. If you're going to be a bigot, at least use appropriate stereotypes.

I’d rather be and live in Appalachia any day before I’d choose say N.Y., L.A., or so many other blue areas that may be fun to visit but GOD knows are not condusive to real life.
