Evasive Action

I may be a day late and a dollar short, but neither matters. Hillary announced (April 20 in New Hampshire) that we are “into the political season.” Proof cannot be clearer than this: the announcement was a way to evade a question.

Asked about the claims in Peter Schweizer’s forthcoming book, Clinton Cash, that while secretary of state, she had helped “foreign entities” – surely someone can discover a less awkward term for guys, gals, and glomerations with money and interests from Oslo to Riadh – that donated to the Clinton Foundation, the candidate replied: “We’re back into the political season and, therefore we will be subjected to all kinds of distractions and attacks, and I’m ready for that.”

It reminds me of a childhood incident. I asked my older sister what I’d seen her doing with a certain boy. She looked right at me and running her hands from her shoulders to her hips said, “Did you know this blouse is cotton?”
