It's true, but give him five minutes - he's a quick learner. That's the absolute best depiction of the HillBilly ever!!

Experience costs you, though. Just ask Client #9.

I'd love to see what Spitzer was paying 4k+ per hour for. so would Bill I'll bet.

Talk about experience.........

Obama is now their pimp.

Keep hearing the word experience as the key issue in discussions about who will be our dear leader come next January. Hillary, of course, insists that she’s an experienced executive type . . . been around, and all that. Well maybe not exactly “around” . . . more like “nearby.” I’ve had plenty to say about her proclivities, her accomplishments, her record, and none of it has been complimentary. So on the topic of her experience, let me just say this: experience teaches only those who are teachable, and I’m not convinced that that word applies to any adult Clinton.

When I had a leadership role in the Navy, one of my axioms was that if a decision turned out well, it was good judgment on my part, and perhaps a bit of good luck. If it turned out to be wrong, then it was a learning experience, and I think I went to school more often than I hit dingers. Something very proverbial my grandfather said to me once (can’t remember the exact way he put it) – Make experience the mother of your decisions, courage your father, caution your brother, and tolerance your sister. Then if you’re lucky, success will be your child. I imagine he heard it in church.

Proverbs are neat things, easy to remember ‘cause they’re so brief and meaty and tasty. In essence a good proverb is a terse statement distilled by generations of observation and experience. Many things my grandfather said didn’t make a lick of sense to me when I was a kid, but later they burst into full brilliance, often damned near blinding me. Another one of his was “Don’t sleep with the hired help.” Well, naturally I thought that meant I shouldn’t bed down in the bunkhouse with the crew. That’s good advice, of course, but I missed the deeper meaning, and apparently so did Slick.

Most critics of Obama focus on his lack of managerial and diplomatic experience. A few liberals prefer to say he’s uncontaminated by association with locked-in groupthink and hasn’t yet developed bad habits. Older conservatives say his naivete provokes him to offer illusory promises of a glorious and splendid future which is unachievable in any world inhabited by the likes of Chavez, Kim, Ahmadinejad, Putin, and Castro.

His youth and lack of real-world experience haven’t allowed him to accumulate the obligatory scratches and scuffmarks on the amphora containing the essence of his idealism. Now idealism has its place, and I’m not criticizing anybody for having it. But the problem is that idealism is very often blind, or misinformed, or absurdly impractical. Unfortunately it almost always leads experience along a risky, uncleared, dimly lit path, and what results from the trip is often disillusionment, disaster, and destitution.

At first I was puzzled as to why senior Democratic Party leaders, including governors and senators, would abandon the presumptive winner and run to hop on the bandwagon of a comparative amateur, a rookie, a flash-in-the-pan which might turn out to be just fool’s gold. Then it occurred to me that the liberal power structure is backing him BECAUSE of his vast inexperience; in a nutshell, they’re banking on his being entirely dependent upon THEM for counsel and guidance, a ductile, malleable piece of raw material they can shape into whatever they like. Compared to the intractable and headstrong and possibly dangerous Clinton tandem, that makes him vastly preferable.

As some very wise person once said, can’t remember who at the moment, “On the highest throne in the world we are still perched on our own arse, and from that dizzying height it can be difficult to determine who your friends actually are.”

Nicely put ET.

ET-Bravo Zulu post. When it comes to the DNC; this old axiom really rings true. "Your freinds are enemies who are to afraid to kill you" The cartoon killed me though, TOO funny!

So if you bang Hillary without donating to her campaign fund, have you committed rape, or merely shoplifting?
