(2008-04-13) - Sensing an opportunity to portray Sen. Barack Obama as
elitist and out of touch after his remarks about "bitter" rural
Americans who cling to guns, God and xenophobia, Sen. Hillary Clinton
stopped after church today at an indoor gun range, where she fired
roughly 300 rounds through a handgun she said she carries concealed
everywhere she goes.
Her lower lip bulging from a dip of Skoal, Sen. Clinton put her Bible in
her handbag and drew out her own Para Ordnance Warthog .45 caliber
pistol.
As reporters looked on, the Democrat presidential candidate emptied one
10-round magazine after another, with fair accuracy, at a human
silhouette target.
"Small town folk like us," said Sen. Clinton, "don't cling to God or
guns because we're bitter about the economy as my opponent suggests. We
believe in God because He's real, and we keep and bear arms as the best
insurance against tyrants who would strip our freedoms if they didn't
fear our collective power."
As for the economy, the candidate said, small-town people haven't been
sitting on their hands since the steel and textile mills closed 25 years
ago.
"We're Americans," she said, "We're not a bunch of cry-babies. Things
change. We deal with it. We suck it up, learn a new skill, and do
something else to earn the money we need to buy stuff, you know, like
Bibles and bullets...."
