Paving the way for Hillary in '08?

Danica Patrick's 4th place finish at the Indy 500 Sunday was another step forward for women in America. Although she is the 4th woman to race at Indy, she did better than any of her predecessors and had a solid shot at winning the whole thing.

Meanwhile, an attempt by House Republicans to prevent women from serving in combat- a perplexing move considering that 35 women troops have died in Iraq thus far- failed last week.

These two moves may not mean much in the long run, especially with knuckle-scraping "Christians" running the country these days, but they give this clipmonkey hope that America is nearly ready for a woman president.

According to Letterman, Hilary can teach those knuckle draggers a thing or two about religion...

"Hillary Clinton is the junior senator from the great state of New York. When they swore her in, she used the Clinton family Bible. You know, the one with only seven commandments." —David Letterman
