Well, Hillary Clinton (and I) do remember. But a lot of Americans don't. Especially the ones who are voting for Hillary's opponent in the Democratic race.
Which highlights something about this race I haven't seen dealt with on the Internet.
Hillary is the last Baby Boomer standing. After 16 years of Baby Boomer hegemony half the people (all the non boomers?) are sick of Boomer rule. They're thinking either "hand it back to the grownups", or "move on to the next generation."
Our parents said boomers were only interested in three things: sex, drugs and rock & roll.
First we had the sex addict boomer president, who couldn't keep his pants zipped up.
Then we had the crackhead president, who kept hallucinating weapons of mass destruction and hearing voices.
I was hoping that we would get the Rock & Roll president next. But I'm not even sure which candidate that would have been.
If I can say anything here in defense of the baby boomers it would be that America's Greatest Generation was a hard act to follow. I just hope we won't go down in history as another "blundering generation".
