….or you’re liable to upchuck all over your computer.
This unadulterated, U.S. Government Inspected Prime mung is the first three paragraphs of an article written by someone named Chimamanda Adichie, who writes for The Atlantic:
Why Is Hillary Clinton So Widely Loved?
We do not see, often enough, the people who love Hillary Clinton, who support her because of her qualifications rather than because of her unqualified opponent, who empathize with her. Yet millions of Americans, women and men, love her intelligence, her industriousness, her grit; they feel loyal to her, they will vote with enthusiasm for her.
Human beings change as they grow, but a person’s history speaks to who she is. There are millions who admire the tapestry of Hillary Clinton’s past: the first-ever student commencement speaker at Wellesley speaking boldly about making the impossible possible, the Yale law student interested in the rights of migrant farmworkers, the lawyer working with the Children’s Defense Fund, the first lady trying to make health care accessible for all Americans.
There are people who love how cleanly she slices through policy layers, how thoroughly she digests the small print. They remember that she won two terms to the United States Senate, where she was not only well-regarded but was known to get along with Republicans. They have confidence in her. There are people who rage at the media on her behalf, who see the coverage she too often receives as unfair. There are people who in a quiet, human way wish her well. There are people who, when Hillary Clinton becomes the first woman to be president of the United States, will weep from joy.
If you are now cleaning your monitor and keyboard, don’t say I didn’t warn you.
And the rest of the article is just as bad if not worse.
A note to Ms. Adichie: according to the realclearpolitics.com compilation of polls, Hillary Clinton currently is seen in a favorable light by 42% of the population…and an unfavorable one by 54%.
That is widely loved like spinach laced with castor oil is the favorite dessert of your average 5 year old.
The big question here is how did The Atlantic ever allow such bilge onto its web site. Because this transcends media bias and goes to delusional pathology.
Maybe in Nigeria, where Ms. Adichie comes from, a 42% favorability rating IS a sign of love. But not here.
OK, that’s it for tonight. I’ll re-enter the real world tomorrow.
