Here's Hoping for Hillary Fatigue

Hillary's here. Hillary's there. Hillary's everywhere.

The press cannot get enough of former First Lady and U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton and her quest to win the Democratic presidential nomination and the presidency.

This news junkie can safely say that I see, hear or read something about this woman with the scary smile everyday.

Since we don't agree on any issue, and I had enough of both Clintons during their White House years, I wish that Hillary would just go away. Beyond that impossible fancy, I'm hoping that people will grow weary of Hillary in much the same way that they tire of overexposed celebrities.

If someone did a poll on the top ten currently overexposed politicians -- much like one done by E-Poll Market Research about the most overexposed celebrities that Forbes.com describes here -- Hillary would lead the list.

Folks could only take so much of the top two overexposed celebrities Brittany and Paris after non-stop reporting on their whereabouts.

Likewise, perhaps people will be so weary of Hillary (if she wins the nomination as the press predicts) that they will decide they cannot tolerate a presidential term full of news about her when Election Day finally rolls around more than a year from now.

Stranger things have happened.
