The Huck & Hillary Show!
January 3, 2008
It seems that neither of the two front-running candidates for their respective parties know anything about International affairs. And both seem to know even less about what in thw world is going on in Pakistan! It’s not that they must know everything, but come on, let’s use your advisors a little better guys (and gals).
Last week Huckabee (the wannabe) confirmed that he’s been living in Arkansas as he said the biggest immigrant problem we have is from Pakistan and from there he went on to criticize our immigration problem generally. Obviously he was wrong, as the press printed out. Hey, I was born in Arkansas (Hot Springs to be exact) and I did wear shoes as a child, and I know something about international affairs.
It seems to me the Hillary should know better though as she’s not lived in Arkansas recently!
In fact, since she’s an universal genius (Bubba’s description of his wife- not mine), wouldn’t that also include Pakistan? Democrat Joe Biden suggested Tuesday that presidential rival Hillary Clinton doesn’t adequately understand recent events in Pakistan. Well Duh!
The Delaware senator was responding to news that Clinton suggested in two recent interviews that Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf is up for reelection this month. Musharraf was actually reelected in October, and the upcoming Pakistani elections are parliamentary, not presidential.
“We have a number of candidates who are well-intentioned but don’t understand Pakistan,” Biden said at a campaign event Tuesday. “One of the leading candidates — God love her.” I knew someone did!
“There are good people running,” continued the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, who has made his foreign policy credentials a centerpiece of his long shot presidential bid. “But to say Musharraf is up for election! Musharraf was elected — fairly or unfairly — president six months ago. It’s about a parliamentary election!” Clinton’s comments came in an interview with ABC Sunday, in which she said, “[Musharraf] could be the only person on the ballot. I don’t think that’s a real election.”
The New York senator also made similar comments during an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer last week, saying then, “”If President Musharraf wishes to stand for election, then he should abide by the same rules that every other candidate will have to follow.”
The Clinton campaign has not yet returned a request for comment on Biden’s comments, but said yesterday the New York Democrat was referring to Musharraf’s party, not himself in particular. There she goes again! Is Michael Bloomberg in the house?
Republican Mike Huckabee took heat last week for getting key facts about Pakistan wrong in the aftermath of Benazir Bhutto’s death. He first suggested the country remained under martial law (it was lifted a few weeks ago) and later said that Pakistan shares its eastern border with Afghanistan (it shares its western border.)
I guess the political bar for running for president isn’t as high as we thought! But after all this is Iowa and no one knows or notices such things there. Right?
Wrong!
