Batman and Robin

CNN wrote a while ago that Hillary Rodham Clinton was hands down the leader of the pack, for the 2008 dem-nomination. The buzz in the company canteen is that Condoleezza Rice is also about to throw her hat (?) into the ring. That is of course if she can squeeze in time between the gym sessions and totting up frequent flyer miles to the mid-East.

That should be a sight. Just picture the national debate. The silence of the hams. Stanford Vs. Yale. (The undergrads must be drooling in ecstasy) The cliches come pouring out.

In a sense, it's all good. Jay Leno will have enough fodder to keep his pithy rhetoric flowing till the polar ice-caps melt, and late night television will never be the same again. Lexical and pixelian rainforests will be dedicated to covering the former 'primoris era' road to victory. Primary Colors 2 wll be released, only this time Emma Thomson will grab John Travolta's mammaries and whistle 'Battle hymn of the Republic' instead. Chelsea Clinton will achieve the rare distinction of being the only first daughter to have to put up with the same canteen staff twice in a lifetime. And the Whitehouse chef will resign again.

Hopefully history will be made in better ways than this. God save the interns though!
