Carr: Right questions left out
Boston Herald ^ | April 12, 2015 | Howie Carr

Rand Paul had a good suggestion for the press last week: Why don’t you hacks start asking Democrats the same kind of loaded, gotcha, when-did-you-stop-beating-your-wife questions that you always throw at Republicans?

Will never happen, of course — too many invitations to too many Beautiful People cocktail parties are at stake. But suppose the press were equal opportunity bashers?

For example, what if Hillary Clinton had to answer some real questions today when she officially begins her campaign for president, er, queen?

It’s easy to slant any question, even if it’s totally legit. For instance, Hillary was against gay marriage less than two years ago. So blogger Jon Gabriel suggested this question for her:

“What finally made you agree with Dick Cheney that gay marriage should be legalized?”

Believe me, if Savannah Guthrie or her producer can think up stuff like this, then absolutely anybody can do it:

“Mrs. Clinton, your husband signed both the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996 and the federal RFRA (sponsored by Ted Kennedy in the Senate) in 1993. Does that make your husband a bigot?”

When Bill Clinton is your spouse, the possibilities are endless.

“Madame Secretary, as governor, your husband signed a bill into law making English the official language of Arkansas. Does he still hate Hispanics, and do you share his xenophobia?”

Except to refer to Bill all the time will be smacked back with a “I’m running for President, not him” and the low infos will cheer.

More of a boil, actually. But either way, boil or bubble, it needs to be punctured and drained.

Might make a video with a reporter asking those questions, then switching to Hillary saying “What difference does it make”.

Time to print out my KFC sign: “Hillary special! Small breasts, large thighs and a left wing”.

Yes, she has already had two terms as "co-President."

No third term!
