Here's an excerpt from David Brooks's very funny column today parodying this week's Democratic debate:
WILLIAMS: Senator Clinton, at the end of your husband's administration, you placed your authentic self in a cryogenic vault in the National Archives. Will you allow the archives to release your authentic self during this campaign? CLINTON: It's kind of embarrassing Brian, but my authentic self was misfiled sometime in 2003, and we can't find it. RUSSERT: Another question for Senator Clinton. You support giving driver's licenses to illegal aliens. How many times should they be able to retake the little photos until they get one they like? CLINTON: To be clear, I said that licenses for illegals was a smart idea that I oppose. There are also many dumb ideas I support and mediocre ideas I'm lukewarm about.
To take Brooks's Clinton's (satirical) argument one step further: Maybe if she really wants to locate and release her authentic self from the National Archives, she should send in Sandy Berger.
