Well we now know that Senator Clinton loves guns and even has killed a few ducks.

We have seen her in a working class bar chugging whiskey shots and raising her beer in the air. She blasts Obama for his obvious mistaken use of terminology concerning small town America and she is attempting to make as much hay out of it as possible! Can there be any doubt that she is the working class candidate in this race? Hell, I expect to see her steer wrestling at Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo.

That will teach that wine sipping, cheese eating and well-dressed Obama!

First of all, pity the poor ducks. What did they do to deserve being brutally killed and then their deaths celebrated as a reason to elect someone President. My condolences to their families as they tough this one out. I imagine right at this moment media trucks are pulling up to their pond to get their reaction to the death of their family member being made a campaign issue--quack, quack, quack!

Second, come on Senator. It is fair game to challenge Obama on his statement. Even Senator Obama has said he chose the wrong words and admitted he could have done better. But do you really have to brag about shooting guns, chugging whiskey and act as if you come from the working class? Your family history was not blue collar and in fact you supported Republican Barry Goldwater in 1964, who not only opposed all civil rights legislation but also was a forceful advocate for "Right To Work" laws. Your husband and you have made over $100 million in just eight years and some of it from very questionable sources.

Third, I am sure you welcomed, and rightly so, the diversion from the Bosnia flap, especially your husband's comments that you were too tired at 60 at 11PM at night, never mind 3AM. Also it diverted real attention from Mark Penn and again, your husband, from their support of the treaty with Columbia. Both made money off the deal - one as a client and one through speeches. Then there is that sticky issue of your husband raising money for his library from a Chinese firm called Alibaba that is cracking down on dissentients, especially those on the web. Who wants to discuss those issues?

Finally, guns are not good. I even wish Obama would be stronger on this issue. But your Charlton Heston type moment of embracing guns and bragging of your shooting skills is just unseemly. Guns kill lots of people in this country. Thousands and thousands of our youth are being mowed down in gang shooting around the country. Dreams have been destroyed by guns.

I live in Turkey Hollow where most of my neighbors hunt and many of them hunt to put food on the table. I respect and admire them as people but never have I attempted to pass myself off to them as a hunter. Nor do I pretend I am better than them. Many have far more wisdom, thoughtfulness and spirituality than I ever will have. I just disagree with them about guns and hunting.

So we now know the Senator is tough. Great. Obama sadly made a mistake and he will have to deal with it. I imagine he will respond in a quiet effective way without him putting on camouflage and killing ducks. I don't expect to see him drunk and nor did I hear him blaming whiskey for his horrible bowling display.

But in the end, I just can't get over the poor ducks.
