Lies My President Told Me

Let me quote my last political post:

Hillary is perhaps the most authentic candidate only because we know she’s lying.

I never thought I would be dead on but there you have it. I now have proof of my assumptions which is kinda scary because it all came down to supposed sniper fire. So how will this change her chances? I suppose it could actually help considering that now people will just play the opposite game with her. Hillary says we need to spend money, everyone will hear we need to save. She will claim she is tough on drugs, we will hear that she likes a joint every now and then. She says she forgives Bill, we hear that Bill is still doing what he was doing but Hillary kicks his ass every night for it. Aren’t politics grand?

I also came to a startling realization as I read Transmetropolitan for a fourth time. Warren Ellis also has a gift for seeing the future. His comic bookized political race has eerie similarities to the current race. Rather than explain this I direct you to now go and read the collected Transmetropolitan graphic novels. You’ll feel all educated and stuff.

So do I have another prediction? I’m just wondering what else may mirror Transmet. In the story a higher up campaign figure gets killed on live TV to further the campaign of The Smiler. I hope nothing like this happens, but there will be some episode of tragedy coming from one side of the campaign trail. Rudy’s only problem was that “his” tragedy happened further away than a current tragedy. Maybe Obama gets a hangnail and Hillary has a medical condition where we find out that her lying is a mental disorder. And what about McCain? He’s actually a prototype clone/cyborg that has a tendency to misinterpret conservative. It will be deduced that his AI was programmed by Ross Perot. Thank you and good night.
