Today\’s quote comes to us from Hillary Clinton – who is in a lifelong competition with John Kerry to see who can spend the most time in elective and appointive office without the fewest accomplishments (they\’re still in a tie).
Speaking at an enthusiastic rally for Martha Coakley – a Democrat who, having lost her senate race to Republican Scott Brown four years ago, now appears about to lose her gubernatorial race to Republican Charlie Baker (a Democrat losing two statewide races in Massachusetts is roughly equivalent to kim jung-un losing two national elections in North Korea), Ms. Clinton had these words of wisdom about how the economy works:
“Don\’tlet anybody, don\’t let anybody tell you that, uh, y\’know, it\’scorporations and businesses that create jobs.”
I read this quote, and saw the video at John Hinderaker\’s blog for powerlineblog.com, who followed up by asking “Where do they come from, then? Does the stork deliver them? Are they legislated by Congress?”
I tried to come up with something more disdainful than what John wrote, and couldn\’t…so I\’ll leave it at that.
Hillary Clinton gets Quote Of The Day honors for showing us how little she knows about the economy, but how much she knows about pandering to a leftward crowd ready to cheer anything she says, no matter how ridiculous.
Look at it this way: if doing that is an accomplishment, she just dropped behind John Kerry.
