Opposites Day?
Something seems to have gone seriously wrong in Washington in the past few days. Liberals sounding like hard-line conservatives, and (perhaps even more disturbingly) Republicans sounding like they’ve actually heard of concepts like compassion towards society’s less fortunate. When it comes to the hotly debated topic of immigration reform, they're all going a little bit nuts. Maybe it’s just the spring air, or maybe they’re all playing a big joke on us: Surprise! It’s Opposites Day.
To demonstrate, let’s play a little game of “Guess Who Said That?”
Your choices:
- Dubya, our beloved Commander in Chief, or
- Sen. Hillary Clinton (normally my undisputed pick for the ’08 Presidential Campaign, though she’ll eventually lose that status if she keeps acting like this….)
Ok, here goes (no cheating by clicking the links before you've made your guess!):
A) "One thing we cannot lose sight of is that we're talking about human beings, decent human beings, that need to be treated with respect."
B) “A wall [along the US-Mexican Border] in certain areas would be appropriate.”
C) “Massive deportation of the people here is unrealistic. It’s just not going to work.”
Ready for this? Statements A & C – the two statements with which I agree whole-heartedly – are from our very own President. Statement B, about the wall? That’d be Hillary “what the heck is she thinking?” Clinton.
A wall, Hillary? Seriously?
You know something crazy is going on in Washington when I actually find myself agreeing with Bush on something.

Maybe it was like that movie Freaky Friday or something, you know where the mom and daughter switch bodies for awhile... You're right, I think that's the first time I've ever agreed with something Bush said, it's got me all out of sorts. And to think I gave him a big thumbs down in class today...
