Was the Copenhagen Global Warming Summit Walk-Out a Win for the U.S.?


That was decades ago. I hadn’t heard anything from Brooke in while. Not too long ago, President George W. Bush honored him with the Presidential Medal of Freedom—due recognition for a man of milestones in the cause of civil rights.

That changed recently when I read an article on black Republicans supporting Barack Obama’s bid for the presidency. Among the black Republicans extending a hand across the aisle is one Edward W. Brooke, former senator of Massachusetts and former commencement speaker to the Wellesley class of ’69.

With the flag of the revolution passed from Hillary to Barack Obama, the AP reporter quoted Brooke as being “extremely proud and confident and joyful” over Obama securing his party’s nomination. Brooke, who now lives in Florida, did not say if he would endorse Obama over John McCain, but he was thrilled to see the Illinois senator take the party nomination from the former Ms. Hillary Rodham—and for reasons (beyond race) not expanded upon by the AP.

Gee, what could be his reasons?

It took almost 40 years, but it seems that Senator Edward W. Brooke has alas seen Ms. Hillary Rodham receive her comeuppance.

SHe'll be the next VP
Obama needs her to guarantee himself the White House. He told Hillary that there was only ONE way she could get the nod at VP: If it was absolutely clear to everyone that it was HIS decision.

"So, Hillary," Obama said, "shut the hell up and you'll get it." She immediately quit her campaign for the VP slot and has been uncharacteristically quiet.

We dodged a bullet
"Enough people saw the real HRC to vote for the other candidate and stop her triumphant return to the White House, to which she evidently felt entitled."

Exactly. The "Hillary" presented last fall as the answer to all our prayers couldn't survive the light of day.

One could point to many moments, but the sniper fire whopper proved her to be so self-deluded as to be a potential catastrophe if she ever managed to ooze into the White House.
