On a cloudless day, if you pointed up to the sky and asked Hillary Clinton "what's that big round shiny thing?" do you think for a minute she'd just answer straight out that it's the sun?
Would she fuck. She'd squirm and avoid giving answer at all, while her large team of researchers would go back over all her previous statements on film and in print to check if she'd ever called it something else.
Other researchers would check through all the laws she'd ever supported to see if saying the word 'sun' now could be used against her in some way - what if she'd opposed use of the word sun in the past and this is just an attempt by an opponent to get her to trip up?
Her team of investment advisers would be frantically checking her financial portfolios - has she invested in the sun? Has she invested in clouds? The cloud people might be really pissed off if she says 'sun'.
Pollsters go into meltdown checking on previous presidential candidate's use of the word sun. Did their popularity go up or down?
A few days later her campaign manager scripts her reply, in case she's asked again: "Well of course, there are those people who in this language would refer to it as the sun although I'm aware that other words exist for it, both in this language and others. Let's not forget top that, unless we have been there ourselves then we can't absolutely guarantee that it is the thing called the sun by some people; indeed it might turn out to be something different altogether, at least in the eyes of some groups and I think we all need to respect that."
Contemptible woman for the same reasons Blair is a contemptible man.
