Clintobots (see how it feels?) are all raving how Hillary Clinton went to Pennsylvania and took a shot of "whiskey" with her beer. They say it made her look a little more like the common people of Pennsylvania.
Regardless of how I find it incredible that the same people who demonized Clinton in 1992-94 are now strongly supporting her over Obama, there is on thing I'd like to point out to the rest of you here, a scandal that'll surely rock the very foundations of the Clinton Camp.
Are you ready?
Here it comes...
Almost there...
CROWN ROYAL IS CANADIAN WHISKY!
gasp! That's right, people. Crown Royal is Canadian. And what do you think of when you think of Canada (after "aboot" instead of "about", hockey, Celine Dion, funny Canadian monopoly money, and the "What's going on, eh?")? That's right, you think of NAFTA!
Hillary Clinton, rather than drinking a fine American whiskey (yes, I spell it with an "e", like they should in AMERICA), drank a snooty Canadian whisky (they apparently hate the letter "e" in Canada, as they spell WHISKEY wrong).
Hillary Clinton says she is a woman of the people, but she doesn't know what she's talking aboot. She needs to watch herself, guy. Otherwise, she may be in trouble, eh?
Footnote: if anybody took this post seriously, they really need to get a sense of humor.
But on a more serious note: Hill is a NAFTA-phile. That's true and that's not good. But we all should be Canadaphiles. For seven years, I lived about 15 miles from the Canadian border in upstate NY (our nearest big cities were Ottawa and Montreal, each two hours away, while Syracuse was 3 hours away).
Of necessity, we relied upon Canadian specialists, dentists and orthodontists, clothing stores, and even CBC for television. And so, I think Canadian wiskey is the least of our problems. (PS: I know you were kidding.)
I've eaten in their restaurants, stayed in their hotels, skated on the canals in winter, camped in summer. I've gone to movies there which our small NY town never got. I've been to the Word Fair grounds, and seen baseball games in French (while MLB was still played in Montreal). I saw World Champion Figuring Skating. And more... from Victoria and Banff to Montreal and East, I love the place.
Foremost is that we have been lied to over and over about Canada, its medical care system, and much more. Not by you, of course.
I love our country, but I have a true soft spot in my heart for Canada. I even feel a pang of nostalgia when "Oh, Canada" is sung. Always will. It may not be OUR national anthem. But it is the anthem of a true friend.
As for "aboot," bring it on. It's music to my ears.
