Hillary Clinton flew into Tripoli today for a brief photo-op. The visit entailed a massive security operation costing many millions of dollars. But as a photo-op it was a roaring success. It'll be on the front page of every newspaper in America in the morning, and it'll be featured on your evening news for days. We'll see mobs of our rebels chanting Allah-akbar and firing their weapons in the air. They sure love Hillary, don't they, our Libyan rebels? And they love us too! Finally, Arabs with guns who don't want to kill us.
That is indeed noteworthy and newsworthy. (Although I did notice with some consternation that Hillary was kept well away from the celebratory gunfire, just in case...) After a spot of rumination I think I've come up with ten good reasons why Hillary got such a loving reception in Tripoli:
1. They thought it was Lady Gaga.
2. At least she's not black.
3. They're even dumber than we thought.
4. She wears nicer dresses than Gaddafi.
5. They're even more desperate for our support than we imagined.
6. Allah makes mistakes too.
7. They'll cheer anybody who gives them guns.
8. They want to impress mom to get chance with Chelsea.
9. At least she's not Jewish.
10. They'll cheer anybody who doesn't shoot back at them.
What with new Libyan elections looming, maybe Hillary should reconsider her presidential ambitions. With a rousing welcome like we saw today, I believe she has a fair chance to become the next President.
Of Libya!
