Eight years, people. Eight.

Hillary Clinton released her schedules from her time as First Lady but the Times says:

Federal archivists on Wednesday released 11,000 pages of schedules from Hillary Rodham Clinton's eight years as first lady, but the material offers little to support her assertion that her White House experience left her best prepared to become president.

The records show her to be an active first lady who traveled widely and was deeply involved in healthcare policy, but they are rife with omissions, terse references and redactions that obscure many of her activities and the identities of those she saw.
Is that really the correct use of the word "terse?" Anyway . . .

If anything, I think this article highlights our discomfort with having a lady president. She spent her time doing traditional First Lady things, like talking with other chicks and kids and stuff. And she has the names of people with whom she had photos taken redacted. But we have a right to know! As if.

I don't care what her calendar says nor do I care to have reporters tell me what to care about or why, or more to the point: tell me what other people (candidates) have to say about what is important and why. Blech, no thanks.

And the only thing most people seem to care about? Where was Hillary while her husband was doin' an intern. Oh, her husband was unfaithful, did you hear about that? Apparently it was a really big deal that resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands in another country and the wrecking of our economy.

Wait, wrong President.
