Opinion in Brief

Burt Prelutsky: “In the always tough competition for being named Hypocrite of the Year, I think that even with four months remaining in 2017, we have a winner. In her book, ‘What Happened,’ which I believe should end with a question mark, Hillary Clinton reports that during the second presidential debate, when Donald Trump approached her on stage, she felt she was not only in the presence of evil but that she felt her skin crawling. And, why wouldn’t she? After all, she regarded him as a creep, a serial groper of women, and here he was, absolutely looming over her like a gargoyle. The problem is that for millions of us, it sounded less like a 69-year-old writing a book about a political campaign and more like a page out of Hillary Rodham’s diary after her first date with Bill Clinton. With Mrs. Clinton, the laughs never stop. Consider that when she was asked how it was that she was named Hillary, she mentioned that she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary, who was knighted for his conquest of Mt. Everest. The problem is that she was born in 1948, and Sir Edmund didn’t climb the world’s tallest mountain until 1953. Frankly, I think we are long past having to select a Hypocrite of the Year on an annual basis. It’s time to either end the competition or at least commission a trophy to be bestowed in the future and call it the Hillary.”
