I think the First Lady IS capable of independent thought. She came out pro-choice during the campaign, which probably ticked everyone off.

But she skirted it OH so carefully...then quit talking. We would have a new governor right now if Ridge wasn't pro-choice.

Hillary seems to have that sense of entitlement, a true armchair liberal, bent after power, where Bill is more earthy and real.

Hillary is college-educated, a lawyer, and has a relatively good personality. Why she feels a need to have to wield power (e.g. using the government for plane rides during her campaign) so forcefully is a mystery to me.

If she was smart, she'd transfer away from the Texas party school to another state where she could drink on campus without much scrutiny.

Amazingly though, for its reputation, UT-Austin is one of the finer public universities in the country. I believe what the girls need is a bit of self-control. Is it really that hard? Are they smart, but not quite bright?

To a nearly-forty-year-old, they look like children, which they barely aren't, after all. I think women don't get really hit their stride aesthetically till around thirty or so.


I'd like to see pictures of them a decade from now when life hangs on their shoulders a little more heavily and they've had a chance to acquire a bit of character.


Caroline Kennedy was kind of a ho-hum teenager, and she grew into a rather striking young woman. Chelsea Clinton's one of those gawky adolescent girls who's also improving with age. And the Nixon girls...whew....

I think their biggest problem is that they're basically teenagers or just barely beyond. As for UT-Austin, being a dropout from there myself (had to go make a living before I could finish), I'd say it's like a lot of Large American Universities: You can party your liver out and just barely manage to stay off academic probation, or you can hit the books really, really hard with no partying; most undergrads fall somewhere on the spectrum between the two absolutes.

The worst I've read about these two is NOTHING compared to some of what I saw firsthand. Once while tutoring, I had a Tri Delt ask me, "What's a noun?" I saw one guy from our hall at Simkins who had the beginnings of a really serious binging problem. These two aren't bad partiers, just highly conspicuous.
