Among the things I don't understand is being late, or excessively so.So I missed Hillary's speech today, because I can't sit around forever waiting. We have lunch things to tend to, other errands, other things in life than waiting, sitting, watching a motionless black SUV in a driveway.
Then when we got home it was all over.
Why was she late? I wonder if they ever said. I know if John McCain's ever late, it will relate in some way to his days as a POW, so he'll always have a good excuse. But what was Hillary's excuse?
The commentators said it had something maybe to do with building suspense for what she was going to say. Keith Olbermann used the term "Hitchcockian" a couple times. If that's so, please spare us the suspense. You say you're going to be somewhere at a particular time, try to make it.
Good thing she's not going to be elected president. We'd have the inauguration at noon and she'd still be at home, us waiting, she trying to "build suspense."
Punctuality is a virtue, and it's courteous. Being unnecessarily late is stupid.
