Hillary Clinton Fields Question on Sanjaya – Are You Kidding Me???
April 15, 2007 by Jeanne
During a radio call-in on WOKQ-FM, New York senator, Hillary Clinton was asked what the United States can do about Sanjaya Malakar, the television show’s underdog candidate who critics say lacks any shred of talent.
“That’s the best question I’ve been asked in a long time,” Clinton said. “Well, you know, people can vote for whomever they want. That’s true in my election, and its true on ‘American Idol.”‘
Unlike Sanjaya, Clinton is at the top of the polls and fundraising. In an April 3 New Hampshire poll sponsored by CNN and WMUR-TV, 27 percent favored Clinton, followed by John Edwards with 21 percent and Barack Obama at 20 percent.
Okay – Are you kidding me??? With the war in Iraq, 45 million Americans without healthcare insurance, people losing their homes due to the current mortgage crisis and Clinton being the first woman to have a chance at the Presidency, did someone really, truly ask the Senator what our government can do about Sanjaya? I’m starting to give Darwin’s “natural selection” theory a second look. How dumb.
At least she recovered well and brought the attention back to the issue: the voting process and her candidacy.
