Hillary Soul Mate Bhutto: “Supporters are chumps and loonies”

Hillary Clinton has made it clear in no uncertain terms that she and Benazir Bhutto were more than two passing ships in the dark.

“I am profoundly saddened and outraged by the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, a leader of tremendous political and personal courage. I came to know Mrs. Bhutto over many years, during her tenures as Prime Minister and during her years in exile.  Mrs. Bhutto’s concern for her country, and her family, propelled her to risk her life on behalf of the Pakistani people. She returned to Pakistan to fight for democracy despite threats and previous attempts on her life and now she has made the ultimate sacrifice. Her death is a tragedy for her country and a terrible reminder of the work that remains to bring peace, stability, and hope to regions of the globe too often paralyzed by fear, hatred, and violence.

Let us pray that her legacy will be a brighter, more hopeful future for the people she loved and the country she served. My family and I extend our condolences and deepest sympathies to the victims and their families and to the people of Pakistan.”

Were they political soul mates?

Maybe. One has to wonder why Senator Clinton would be so close to someone who referred to her supporters as ‘chumps and loonies.‘

Now that Benazir Bhutto’s son has been crowned as her heir apparent, can Chelsea Clinton’s political debut’ be far behind?

A shy 19-year-old, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, took centre stage in Pakistan’s tumultuous and bloody politics yesterday, speaking in English and saying: “My mother always said democracy is the best revenge…”

With him, as chairman, is his highly controversial father Asif Zardari, who will run the party until Bilawal graduates – and most probably long after that. He is only in his first-term at Christ Church, the grandest of the colleges, reading history. Both mother and grandfather studied at Oxford.

Note that Bhutto’s famously corruption magnet husband, will be ‘running the show’ for the foreseeable future.
