Hillary Clinton's Roll

Rumour has that she wants her name to be placed in nomination, leading to a roll-call vote at the Democratic Party Convention.

Divisive?

Not at all.

By all means let there be a good, honest, open defeat for the idea that merely having been a high society hostess qualifies one to be President of the United States, for racist rabble-rousing, and for AIPAC-endorsed and "feminist" (high society hostess, and indeed doormat) financial dependence on the rabidly Jew-hating and misogynistic regimes in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates.

The Democrats probably cannot prevent her from speaking. Whereas Gordon Brown can and should prevent the strikingly similar figure of David Miliband (achingly high society but totally unqualified in any meaningful sense, die-hard Likudnik with oily Gulf monarchy links, social ultra-liberal who thinks that this makes him left-wing despite his fanatical global capitalism) from addressing the Labour Party Conference. Brown should do just that.
