A Worthy Candidate

Jimmy came out of the trance induced in the aftermath of our Fred Thompson interview, but continues to suffer from aftereffects of nausea and exhaustion, so he was unable to join us in our interview yesterday of Senator Clinton. This is a terrible shame, because the interview was a tremendously positive experience.

To begin with, we were met in the lobby of the Clinton New York Headquarters by the candidate and a large entourage of primarily Secret Service agents. As a Khagan, I am not unfamiliar with being treated with great dignity, but to be met in the building lobby, rather than having to ascend to the top floors, was quite considerate, especially for a humble Mongolian emperor who prefers simple mud huts.

In fact, we were immediately escorted out of the building all together, and flown by a military helicopter to a beautiful park in New York. Somewhat stunned that we could meet surreptitiously in such a large, open, park, I asked Senator Clinton if it were somehow private. "It is today."

We quickly got to discussing the issues facing the United States, and our dialog was like music itself. I felt that the senator knew me, what drove me to my conquests, then to my retreat from world affairs, and finally to my more recent activities. We discussed foreign relationships, military strategy, monetary policy, wine, women, and song, macro economics, campaign strategies, even German poetry. The senator had command over all of these topics, and the pleasantry of his company can hardly be overstated.

Of course, I cannot offer an endorsement before meeting with the other candidates, but I will certainly say that there is at least one candidate in the Democrat field that I admire tremendously. I could well see an endorsement of Senator Bill Clinton for President of the United States.
