Newsweak ^ | 5/16/05 | Anna Quindlen

Posted on 05/08/2005 2:32:42 PM PDT by mcenedo

After years of free-floating propaganda, her colleagues are astonished to discover that she is collaborative and congenial.

More adoration for Saint Hillary.

If the MSM can fixate on Bush's 30 year old military history (funny, it wasn't much concern during his first elections) - they should certainly bring up glamour girls' less than glamorous past.

I want to see Her Highness's college thesis, its as relevant (and timely) as Bush's military career.

P.T. Barnum was right.

Hillary suffers greatly when compared to our current classy first lady. Hillary looses on charm, wit, poise, grace under pressure, and every other measure of one's character, when compared to Laura Bush.

Dr. Condoleezza Rice beats the pants-suit off Hillary when it comes to raw brain power.

Senator Kay Baily Hutchison has a much more distinguished career of accomplishment in the senate than Hillary.

Hillary is really only a celebrity because she is a celebrity, somewhat like Paris Hilton, only Hillary is ugly.

Hillary's only strength is the Clinton News Network and other members of the fading main street media.

If Hillary is repeatedly compared to the high profile women in the republican camp, she will be exposed as the second rate candidate that she truly is, whether or not one of the high profile republican women chooses to run against her.

It is the job of those of us in this increasingly effective "new media" to make that comparison.

"I think for me, the sickest and scariest kind of rage is the Hillary Clinton kind of rage. You know, the perpetual permafrost smile she wears that's hiding a well of fury deeper than Barry White's voice during a bout of pneumonia." -- Dennis Miller

"What can you say about Hillary Clinton that hasn't already been muttered under somebody else's breath?" -- Dennis Miller

My prayer is, someone, somewhere has a copy and will spring it on the Internet in the last five days of her presidential campaign.

That's the real Hillary Rodham Clinton. A lifelong Methodist, she's as reticent about her faith as a Sunday-school teacher

Talk about your "free floating propaganda"! What a load.

The suicide of her friend Vince Foster was wreathed in fringe-group suggestions of murder

Hmmmm. "Fringe-group" .............. sure.

"(Hillary's) most serious deficits are more personal than political. ... She is notoriously thin-skinned, and her stony aloofness makes Al Gore and Bill Bradley look like Cheech and Chong." -- Clarence Page writing on Hillary Rodham Clinton.

CNN anchor Bernard Shaw on Hillary: "Now wait a minute now, this woman brings a lot of strength."

Newsday columnist Jimmy Breslin: "What strength?" Shaw: "Don't you agree that she brings a lot of strength to what she is trying to do?"

Breslin: "No, I think that the strength comes from a lot of people on television or in newspapers that just write drivel."

"She is married to a fellow who believes that politics is all about turning enemies in to friends. Her attitude, friends say, is that enemies are enemies for life and should be consigned to the outer darkness, then vaporized." -- columnist Gloria Borger on Bill and Hillary Clinton.

I think she should be nuked from space, just to be sure.

It never ceases to amaze me how Hillary has gained this almost mythical power with so many on the right.

She is not some omnipotent being, in fact, she's not even a very good politician.

She barely won her senate race in New York, barely beating a guy who looks like my paperboy (in fact, maybe he is).

She can't have eggs for breakfast without half the country thinking she's doing it for political reasons to get some vote somewhere.

Her consultants are horrible, she can't even do a photo op without the press (who adores her) making it blatantly obvious.

It annoys me to no end, to see freepers treating her in some kind of awe as if she has mystical powers over the voters and if she moves her hands, magical things happen and clouds the minds of everyone.

She has the same reaction on freepers that Karl Rove has on the DUmmies.

Half the democratic party has knives out on her and are waiting to destroy her, she is, after all, a big rival to others with ambitions.

How the hell did she get this all powerfull image? Where did this idiotic idea that she is some kind of brilliant politico come from?

She hasn't even done anything of consequence. She's not even a good public speaker.

She is probably the most over rated, over hyped politician in the last 30 years.

Speaking of "free floating," it seems to me that the supposedly literate Anna started her sentence with a free-floating participial phrase - not at all clear what it modifies. Is it supposed to mean that the "astonished colleagues" are somehow connected with "years of free floating propaganda?" Of course, it's really not important what Anna means or tries to say.

Silly me, I thought the evidence of a staged act and a lack of a thorough investigation implied murder.

They said the same thing about a nobody who never did anything good of any consequence, and then came within one state of defeating the incumbent president.

Next time we have no incumbent.
