Can Anne Summers use the internet?

In the Sydney Morning Herald today, left luvvie Anne Summers writes that the New York liberal left is getting tired of Hillary Clinton because she is cuddling up too much to some on the Right to try to improve her overall popularity.

Anne includes this curious sentence:

"Clinton is also criticised for her seeming shift to the centre on abortion rights, for her loony belief that video games such as Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas have secret sex scenes embedded in them, and for her recent co-sponsoring of a new flag protection act that, said Andersen, will make flag burning and inciting riots "even more illegal than they already are".

Hmm, I thought it was well established that Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas did have a sex game in it (until it became well known anyway.)

Sure enough, but a few seconds on Google leads to this article on Wikipedia, which appears to confirm that it was indeed included as a "secret" part of the game, at least in the sense that the scene was on the game, even if a mod was needed to access it. (A wikinews story even has a link to video that shows the scene, although it seems from the previous link that the nudity may have been added by someone else.)

There seem to be thousands of links from Google confirming this story.

Last week it was Anthony Albanese, this week Anne Summers. Those on the Left seem to have particularly poor "googling" skills at the moment.

Nonsense.

We liberals oppose Hillary Clinton because we know too much about her. Of course you're right about the video game having secret sex scenes, IF you can get on the Internet and download a patch. But so what?

If you know enough to get on the Internet and download a special software patch, then you know enough to get a hard drive full of much more raunchy stuff than a few smudgy pixels of simulated sex on a video game.

Anne Summers was wrong about the video game's patch, and wrong about the details of why liberals oppose Hillary Clinton, but she was right on about the desperation with which Senator Clinton is trying to appeal to right wingers. She's so busy trying to get Republicans to love her that she is losing her political base.

The Hillary Clinton for President phenomenon will fade to near nothing by the end of 2007. Just remember that it was right winger Senator Lieberman who had Jo-mentum at this point four years ago.
