Pretending to See the Future

Well, Ben Shapiro is back to his old game of Prognosticating. Yep, now he is predicting that Hillary Clinton will join the Democratic ticket as Vice President in 2004, and that is why they are pushing Wesley Clark.

Note that young Ben offers no proof whatsoever to support his claim; also note the authorititive tone that young Ben takes. "That's why Hillary and Bill are backing Wesley Clark. They want Clark to win the nomination in a landslide. To that end, they've stacked Clark's campaign with former Clinton cronies. They've made it clear that the general is their man. Here's the quid pro quo: They want Hillary to get the vice presidential slot on Clark's 2004 ticket."

See these aren't the words of a man who is speculating on what might happen. These are the words of a man who knows exactly what is happening now and what will happen in the future. What further proof of Shapiro's mystical awareness do you need?

We'l have to see what the future actually holds; perhaps Wesley Clark won't get the nomination. Perhaps he won't select Hillary as his running mate (a strategy that has as many drawbacks as it does bonuses). We'll have to see.
