Campaign Poetry Clinton Style (imported from my Hamlet blog)

Friday, January 25, 2008

As we begin to consider scansion... It's said in politics you campaign in poetry but govern in prose. Listen to how Hillary Clinton in the SC debate uses stressed syllables to paint up Barack Obama with the words SLUM LANDLORD and INNER CITY CHICAGO. That's really some poetry. She might as well have called him the n-word.
