HEAR CHRIS MATTHEWS + MAUREEN DOWD DEVOUR HILLARY

Matthews has a soft spot for an Irish lass with a column... although his crush on Maureen does not appear to be as intense as the one he has for Peggy.

an interesting Irish segue ping

Is this true? All of the Liberal Media is supposed to be backing Hillary, Aren't they?

[Mia T]

Were you aware of this ethnic slur by hillary? Do you know the context?

[Mia T]

I think matthews' loyalty is to the party; like geffen and ickes, he understands the damage that will be done to the party by this loser.

'Are Men Necessary?'

Maureen Dowd ought to ask missus clinton...

Hillary Clinton? Who would even know her name were it not for her attachment to a man?

Thank you, Gavin McNett, for your tribute to the incomparable Tammy Wynette. (TAMMY WYNETTE, 1942-1998)

Too many pundits, usually leftist and privileged, sneer at country music. To these critics, any music created by poor, Southern whites (at least those poor, Southern whites who didn't attend an Ivy League university) must be held in contempt, along with its correlatives: incest, racism and trailer parks.

Hillary Clinton? Who would even know her name were it not for her attachment to a man? Where would she be now if she as a child had to pick cotton from sun up to sun down?

Tammy Wynette stands alone, a legend; and she will be admired wherever people appreciate the honesty of the human experience. Human beings are vulnerable. We all should be thankful to any artist courageous enough to bare her soul on the public stage so the rest of us who are listening and know whereof she speaks might benefit.

Clinton Administration Veteran:
"Hillary Rodham Clinton needs to be kept very far away from the White House for the rest of her life."

My two cents' worth--and I think it is the two cents' worth of everybody who worked for the Clinton Administration health care reform effort of 1993-1994--is that Hillary Rodham Clinton needs to be kept very far away from the White House for the rest of her life. Heading up health-care reform was the only major administrative job she has ever tried to do. And she was a complete flop at it. She had neither the grasp of policy substance, the managerial skills, nor the political smarts to do the job she was then given. And she wasn't smart enough to realize that she was in over her head and had to get out of the Health Care Czar role quickly.... there is no reason to think that she would be anything but an abysmal president.

I don't have flash on this computer. What's it do?

[Mia T]

thanx. :)

[Mia T]

It's a clip from hardball. Worth viewing, if only for vicarious pleasure.;)

The one lower down (for the birds) is about bird flu and hillary's vaccine shortage (which, of course, she blames on Bush). Hitchcock makes a cameo appearance. Think you'll like it.

Did I thank you recently for suggesting years ago that I take a look at Flash? :)

[Lazamataz]

[Mia T]

When did you write that brilliant piece that was on your homepage not too long ago? Do you have other essays posted online?

[Lazamataz]

I actually do intend to write my first novel. It will be in the Steven King-esque mode. Want me to do it?
