Random political stuff
Sometimes the media is so dumb. I found this lovely exerpt from ABC news.
"Sen. Hillary Clinton has narrowly won the New Hampshire primary, becoming the first woman -- and the first-ever former first lady -- to win the first-in-the-nation contest."
Okay, so if she is the first woman to win isn't it a bit redundant to also say she's the first former first lady? I mean this may be a great election for women and minorities, but wouldn't a non-woman first lady have to be transgendered of some sort?
Okay, so this isn't the dumbest thing being said about Clinton right now, but it just seemed like a bit of bad writing to me.
