At least she was a Log Cabin Republican (drum roll and cymbal crash).
That was a joke. I was also joking when I asked whether Charles Ives
was the composer of "Blowing in the Wind". My sincere apologies to
anyone who took it seriously and/or literally. Still, some interesting
information came out of it. So that we remain on topic I would like to
mention "blowing in the wind" is good shakuhachi practice. Playing
outside on a windy day tends to disrupt the air flow. If you can focus
your embouchure to defeat this tendency it is a useful technique.
