Marvelous, dahling! Just what any American needs in order to win the presidency

PARIS (Reuters) – U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton won surprise backing from the wife of former French President Jacques Chirac on Thursday, together with a pledge to join her on the campaign trail.

The Chiracs’ political affiliations are at the opposite end of the spectrum from the Clintons’, but the former French first lady said she had always thought Democratic candidate Clinton had the makings of a U.S. president.

“She’s a woman who is not liked by everybody. But she’s strong and she has convictions,” Bernadette Chirac, well-known for a forceful character of her own, told the weekly Le Figaro magazine.

I do not mean this to be anti-French, mostly, but why exactly does a U.S. presidential candidate need the backing of the wife of former foreign nation president, including campaigning for them? Personally, I can understand the attraction between Hillary and Bernadette: they both have husbands who cheated on them many times.

Quite frankly, if Tony Blair’s wife, Cherie (who also posed nude in her 20’s. Just for informational purposes), backed, say, Rudy, I would same thing. Is it really necessary to have foreign dignitaries offer their support for American presidential contenders?

On the flip side, at least we have a name of someone who is at least linked to a foreign former leader that supports Hillary, which is more then John Kerry could ever say, despite all his bloviation about foreign leaders supporting him.

In liberal world, I suppose it is more important to have the support of foreigners then Americans. Except for the rich American, who seem to be the major supporters of the Democrat Party. Shocking! Which is why any “soak the rich” tax plan by Democrats will fail on the back end, as all sorts of loopholes would allow the rich to pay less, putting the burden squarely on the middle class.

Hils does need some help, though, as one of the major companies helping her and Bill, InfoUSA, is now under investigation by the SEC

The Securities and Exchange Commission has launched an investigation into InfoUSA, a Nebraska company that used corporate funds to fly Hillary Rodham Clinton around the country, and one of only two companies to put Bill Clinton on its payroll after he left the White House.

I would be disengenuous if I did not point out that the investigation is not related to Bill and Hillary. This just shows that they tend to work with lots of shady people and businesses.
