“Having extensive experience and qualifications in the field, Ms. Hanes was awarded the position based solely on her merit,” he said. “Since then she has excelled in her role. As well as giving Sen. Baucus 'Round The World' and doesn't mind the occasional 'Cleavland Steamer'.”
We have a Fifth Amendment, and it comes in quite handy.
Tiger Woods has the "right not to incriminate himself" and NOT talk to the police about his accident. He followed that simple directive and received this:
Which was all the police could charge him by the evidence they had. It's $164 and 4 points. A misdemeanor moving violation. For Tiger, that's literally pocket (lint) money, and he's little risk for losing his license.
But what if he would have talked? What would have leaked out of the now public information of his statement, or his wife's?
Let's just say it's better left as speculative tabloid fodder than legal evidence, regardless of the truth - and his marriage is really none of our business, is it?
It's entirely conceivable that no matter what he may have said to the cops, they would have found something more with which to charge him, or his wife. And that's just the legal issues. What about the tabloids?
Smart, Tiger, fucking smart.
That's why this guy below is my fucking hero, just like Tiger.
I believe this is an obstacle she may not be able to overcome by acting as a populist, virtual “backbencher”, as she is currently operating. I say this as a fan – I would vote for her without reservation and will defend her to the ends of the earth against the BS she gets every day.
I think she will be the right person at the wrong time.
A common observation of recent Presidential elections is that, in at least one crucial personality trait or important aspect, The People elect the polar opposite of the current President.
Ford – Carter: Insider – Outsider
Carter – Reagan: Sour defeatism – Sunny optimism.
Reagan – Bush(1): Idealist – Pragmatist.
Bush(1) – Clinton: Staid – Rambunctious.
Clinton – Bush(2): Undisciplined – Disciplined.
Bush(2) – Obama: Stubborn loyalty – “Under the bus”
I’m afraid that the current amateur hour is going to be that crucial aspect. The country won’t want to give a go to another politician with a thin resume (including sadly, her resignation of the Governorship) like the last, regardless of her policy positions and how good we think she would be.
