NEWS:Hillary Calls for 'Separate But Equal' Nominees
by Scott Ott for ScrappleFace ·
(2008-05-14) — After a commanding win in West Virginia, yet another Democrat primary in which the candidates’ skin color proved decisive, Sen. Hillary Clinton today said her rival Barach Obama's strength among black racists, combined with her strength with white racists, calls for “a new, more enlightened approach to nominating a president.”
“In such a racially-divided party, neither of us can be the nominee of all the people,” said Sen. Clinton, “So, when we get to the convention in Denver, I’m going to propose we nominate two separate-but-equal presidential candidates.”
Sen. Clinton said that when Democrats recapture the White House, both Presidents Obama and Clinton would serve together, thus uniting the party “with malice toward none, with charity for all as we become a government of the people, by the people and for all the discriminating people of these United States.”
The former First Lady expects little opposition to the plan at the convention, since having two presidents serving side-by-side is “not a new concept for Democrats.” |
