Mailbag – Casual Friday and Casual FLOTi
FLOTUSes? FLOTi rhymes better. Whatever.
The Great Merlin writes in regarding Dr. J.’s state dinner polemic:
Dearest Dr. J,
As one medical system (non-clinical) employee to another (your most worshipful doctorness, whose needs I merely exist to serve), I’m surprised that you draw a blank on Mrs. Clinton’s biggest cause celebre: HillaryCare.
That was the first major Democratic effort to implement some sort of national health care reform, and it failed miserably. As I recall things, it was such a putrid collection of fail that even her husband finally faced reality and fended it off with whatever pole-weapon came to hand. ‘Tis a shame that the latest incarnation (Son of Hillarycare?) didn’t suffer as ignominious a defeat.

Dear Merlin,
Dr. J. did not forget HillaryCare. He deliberately excluded HillaryCare because she went beyond a FLOTUS’s scope of practice in her work on HillaryCare. She acted as a White House aide, advisor, council, or whatever you want to call it. HillaryCare occupied her time until the Republican takeover of the House in 1994 which was a direct consequence of HillaryCare. What Dr. J. was talking about were signature charitable causes, not wielding of policy Eleanor Roosevelt style. Thank God it didn’t pass, and hopefully we can get ObamaCare repealed. Thanks for writing in.

Dear MC2,
Keeping with the HillaryCare theme above, “It’s for the children!” And then some golf was involved. Thanks for writing in and have a great week!
Dr. J.
