Two Generations of Douchebags
Oh, one more thing about Hillary and New York. When FDR died a member of his cabinet named Harold Ickes wrote to Eleanor Roosevelt recommending that the popular former First Lady run for an open Senate seat in New York. You can read her letter declining the offer here.
Five decades later, Harold Ickes Jr. was Bill Clinton’s chief of staff. When Moynihan’s Senate seat opened up, Ickes (along with New York’s senior Senator Chuck “Dickbag” Schumer) recommended that Hillary run for the open seat. And as we all know, Hillary Clinton likes to have imaginary conversations with Eleanor Roosevelt.
Truth is stranger than fiction, my friends.
Eleanor Roosevelt had class - the Clintons do not.
