Hold On, She's Probably Not Done Yet... (Innumeracy Edition)

First she sounded sympathetic to the idea during a televised debate, and within moments had refused to endorse it. Afterwards, she changed her mind and endorsed it. Now today, after Governor Eliot Spitzer shelved a plan to issue New York drivers licenses to illegal aliens, Hillary Clinton shifted her position yet again to oppose the idea entirely:

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton on Wednesday came out against granting driver's licenses to illegal immigrants, after weeks of pressure in the presidential race to take a position on a now-failed ID plan from her home state governor.

People laughed at John Kerry for saying, "I was for the $87 billion before I was against it." He looks like the Rock of Gibraltar next to Hillary Clinton. She has now taken four different positions in two weeks on a single topic.

You know, you don't have to be a math wiz to figure out that the odds of a single family (much less a "husband" and "wife") producing two people truly sharp enough to be president of a country of 300 million people are ridiculously large.

And Hillary's out to prove it for those who may periodically drift into consciousness at all.

Oh. And our current president -- the few very important things he's got reasonably right not withstanding -- does little to dispel my analysis.
