Some People Have All the Luck
(Or, New York is not a red state.)
Hillary Clinton's first apparent GOP opponent in her reelection campaign to the U.S. Senate dropped out, so hapless was she.
Now her second opponent, a woman named
Kathleen Troia McFarland, is also proving to be a disaster; McFarland's claim to fame was that she was the highest-ranking woman at the Reagan Pentagon and helped author the Star Wars' speech.
Let us be generous and not point out that these are pretty dubious rationales for a Senate campaign. Because, as it turns out,
these resume-padders aren't even true.
And the Times article linked to above doesn't even note—which it should—that Ms. McFarland has already been found to have been
registered to vote at more than one location in New York, which is illegal, but has failed to vote in several recent elections....
All of which is good news if, say, Senator Clinton were planning on saving her campaign funds for a presidential race....
KT McFarland: Didn't write Star Wars speech, not the highest-ranking woman at the Reagan Pentagon, won't be the next senator from New York.
