In what’s already being all but conceded by Camp Hillary as one of the most mind-bendingly dumb campaign attacks of the presidential campaign so far, Hillary Clinton’s campaign went after Barack Obama yesterday for having written an essay in kindergarten stating he wanted to be president. You see, this exposed Obama as a hypocrite for his attacks on Hillary’s perceived life-long ambition of being the first woman president.
Or something.
And while Hillary’s campaign is now referring to the attack as “a joke,” this misstep has allowed John Edwards to make a folksy, rhetorical charge into the breech:
Edwards grinned as he recounted the Clinton campaign’s allegation.“I want to confess to all of you right now,” he told his audience, “in third grade, I wanted to be two things: I wanted to be a cowboy, and I wanted to be Superman.”
In the name of humanity, stop before someone asks Joe Biden what he wanted to be when he grew up.
I never wanted to be anything more than a cocksucker.
@1: Congratulations. A life's ambition achieved.
Joe Biden? "I wanted to be a cowboy, and I wanted to be Superman...."
Biden: porn star - just sayin'...
Wasn't Joe Biden already a Senator in 3rd grade?
I wanted to be Olivia Newton-John's charactor in Xanadu. I could never find a good place to roller skate in a skirt without getting beat up.
Remember when everyone wanted to be an Astronaut and then President?
That was when those were good things.
Joe Biden wanted to be Neil Kinnock.
But Superman is Canadian. Does John Edwards want to be Canadian?
@9 - which Superman? The comix, the TV show, the movies (which of those)?
I wanted to be a farmer, then a baseball player, then a lawyer, and then President.
That was all in the course of one afternoon when I was three years old.
Well, if you needed any further examples of Hillary's campaign being over and done... Attacks on grade schoolers should do it!
@10
It doesn't matter, it's just because he's so gosh-darn nice, eh?
