On Sunday I wandered past the tele while The Politics Show was on.
There was a feature on Hillary Clinton and her seemingly never ending and frankly utterly baffling bid for the Whitehouse.
Simon Burns MP was on being interviewed about his support for Hillary and why Republicans weren't the automatic party of choice for a Tory these days. I was mildy curious. I sat down on the sofa to watch.
"But before we talk to Simon Burns let's look at the campaign," said the presenter, introducing some photo montage segment. lots of pictures of Hillary smiling, looking very blonde, very smiley.
The music they picked to play over it? Isn't She Lovely by Stevie Wonder.
Cut back to presenter, addressing Simon Burns MP: "So, do you think there is more misogyny than racism in America?"
Cut to me on sofa, addressing tele: "So, do we think women are ever going to be taken seriously in politics if we introduce them with such patronising nonsense?" I may have growled a bit at that point.
If Hillary has been using this as her campaign song: "What were you thinking?". If the BBC picked this to represent her: "What were you thinking?"
And this is why I don't watch much tele.
