Hillary Clinton must be SOOO PISSED. President Bush was in Baghdad with the troops for Thanksgiving. Which made her trip to Afganistan fall right to the bottom of the newspaper column. I can imagine her throwing a complete fit and her handlers cringing in terror. I also imagine all the newspaper editors who were all set to trumpet her trip to everyone who would listen that she is out there for the troops. Then out comes the bombshell of Bush’s visit. The whole secrecy thing, even 41 and Barbara not knowing about it until after the fact.
Its the double whammy. Not only is President Bush just the type of guy who would do this on his own, just to boost morale, he scores a great political victory on Clinton. He didn’t even handle it the same way. Clinton goes around, never would really talk to any low level troops, just meetings with Important People. Having seen her, I know her disdain for the common person, unless they are part of the special interest group of the day. But W has dinner with the troops, even serving them meals, and then has a single meeting with the ambassador and a few Iraqis, and then leaves. Since he stayed such a short time, it was obvious he went for the troops. Now, thats class.
