Granholm Endorses Round Earth

Michigan Governor Jennifer M. Granholm announced her endorsement of U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton to be the Democratic party's nominee for President of the United States today.

Immediately after making her endorsement public, Granholm announced that the Earth really is round and that Paris Hilton really isn't all very talented.

You'll have to excuse me not regarding this endorsement as news worthy. It's been rumored that Granholm would support Clinton's presidential campaign since before she was even a candidate.

Again, nothing news worthy here. I could have easily forgotten about this before I even finished reading the email that announced - if it weren't for this line:

"Hillary Clinton's proposals and track record are evidence that she is clearly the candidate best prepared to lead the nation and be a champion for Michigan," Granholm and Cherry said. "From her commitment to ending the war in Iraq, to her positions on..."

I'm sorry but praising Clinton for her "commitment to ending the war in Iraq" is like congratulating Britney Spears for winning the Nobel Prize in Physics. Clinton hasn't made such a commitment, she publicly ridiculed those who propose attacking terrorists and she refused to commit to bringing our troops home from Iraq by the end of her first term, if elected.

How in the world can any of this be construed as a "commitment to ending the war in Iraq"?

I think it's time for Michigan to institute a policy of mandatory drug testing for all elected officials.
