Fiorina Face Time
The consensus seems to be that Carly Fiorina, JV champ of the first Republican debate, was the winner of the second varsity debate.
Interestingly she did it on different sides of women’s issues. She roughed up The Donald implying he insulted all women by making fun of her appearance. Then she attacked federal funding for Planned Parenthood calling its trade in fetal body parts a question of “the character of our nation”.
Hillary Believes
Hillary believes rape victims. Sometimes.
At a press conference this week Mrs. Clinton said college women who claim they were raped should be believed. She even reinforced her remarks by tweeting this little video saying you have a right to be believed.
A discredited Rolling Stone story earlier this year showed that’s not always the case.
What was Hillary thinking? Maybe was reaching out to Juanita Broaddrick. This is from a February 25, 1999 article by Howard Kurtz in the Washington Post:
Juanita Broaddrick told her story to a national television audience last night, saying she did not tell authorities 21 years ago of her contention that Bill Clinton sexually assaulted her because “I just don’t think anyone would have believed me.”
Happy Jewish New Year from Iran
Iranian good cop President Rouhani tweeted Happy Rash Hashanah wishes for the Jewish new year. In English, not on his Persian account. Earlier in the week Supreme Leader Khamenei announced that Israel will be gone in 25 years.
Iran Deal Bizarro World
It’s President Obama’s Bizarro World and we just live in it.
He created a parallel universe in order to pass the Iran Nuclear deal .
Critics believe the deal qualifies as a treaty. A treaty requires 2/3 Senate approval and that wasn’t about to happen. Just ask John Kerry. So the president made it an executive agreement. No approval needed.
Bizarro World
That was one indignity too far for Senator Bob Corker. Corker decided to defend the Senate’s honor by allowing a vote of disapproval of the executive agreement. Obama agreed, promising to veto a vote to disapprove. Overriding a veto requires a 2/3 vote by the full Congress.
It never came to that. The president was able to muster 42 Senate votes to keep the vote for disapproval from even making it to the floor.
