FIREWORKS IN PHOENIX

SPECIAL POST

They would have you believe that it was just a "chance meeting" and that they simply just "bumped into each other" at Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix... just like two people sashaying across a street in downtown Waco, Texas.  You know the scene... a startled "Howdy there, Loretta!"  followed by an adjournment to the sidewalk for gossip, family talk and golf stories.  

Well, you have to remember that Bill is the former president, the husband of the Democrat Party presumptive nominee and he has a security detail.  Loretta, there on her own plane, had her own security detail.  So, they didn't just "bump into each other."  And, under the circumstances, you don't just climb out of your own plane, trot across the tarmac and up the steps into the other plane; you'd be out in the open and your security people wouldn't allow that to happen.  So, there had to be a dance-caller for this square dance do-si-do... someone to make all of the arrangements and call out all of the moves.  

After all of this fuss, when one has to presume that both participants had places to go and to be on time, they sat down for a 30-minute or so chit chat about nothing in particular... small talk.  Thirty minutes of small talk on a Phoenix tarmac in the 122 degree sun; one would wonder why they didn't slip into a private room in the airport hub where they could enjoy some Long Island iced-tea during the chit chat. Or, perhaps they could have touched base on their cell phones and avoided all of the hassle, or maybe they were afraid somebody might be listening in to their chit chat?  

Well, you know as well as I do that the F.B.I. is due to make its recommendation about what to do with Hillary's legal messes soon.  And, of course, there was that pesky Benghazi report coming out from Congress.  Never mind that Loretta will end up being the chief decision maker about all of this or that Bill is Hillary's husband and the former president who owes Hillary big-time for standing by him during his White House dalliances.... He wouldn't even think of asking Loretta to let Hillary off the hook and, of course, she wouldn't have entertained the discussion in the first place.  

After all, they had grand-kids to talk about and we all know what the real priorities in life are... don't we?   

Have a nice holiday.  I'll be back Tuesday... smelling like hot dogs, beer and skeptical pie.  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
