non sequitur

i'm going to paraphrase this next little bit because that will make it funnier and also sadder.

so, i'm watching hardball with chris matthews this evening (5/25) while 'm putting elijah down for bedtime. the topic of the day was the two new (ha) books criticizing hillary clinton. so, here goes the conversation.

rep. loudmouth1: "i don't even know why we're talking about this. there isn't anything new in either of these two books. the authors released them because h.c. is leading in the polls."

rep. loudmouth2: "i know all of that is true, but it should be a topic of discussion because she is a bad, bad person with a terrible marriage."

dem. loudmouth1: "ok, fine. that may be true, i don't know. if you want to make it about marriage though, let's do that. h.c. has been married once. the top 3 GOP candidates have 8 marriages between them. what say you to that rep. loudmouth2?"

rep. loudmouth2: "the clintons' immorality led to sept. 11."

all other loudmouths: shocked silence

it would really be nice if i was making that up, wouldn't it?
