HILLARY'S COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF PROBLEM (see descriptor morphs)

CORRECTION:

The reviews miss the point of the show, (i.e., the show is not optional but necessary (though hardly sufficient) if clinton is to prevail), because the reviews fail to identify missus clinton's problem in the first place. And circular reasoning compounds the error.

Do you think Hillary will do the switch by asking Gena to be Vice ? Or, is Hillary going to start the campaign with all the china in her cabinet already chosen ? She would declare a position at the table for Gena before the table was even set.

THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING: The Clintons, I mean. Today's Washington Post scoop of their absconding with gifts solicited for and accepted by the White House as part of a renovation project is simply jaw-dropping. Hilarious, as well. Cheesier? The Bonnie and Clyde of the 90s stole some of the White House furniture! I guess I can stop feeling guilty for that time I purloined some toilet paper from Buckingham Palace.

EXPENSIVE CHINA: the clinton legacy (hillary's albatross)

ALL

Double, trouble TOIL for HUBBELL;

Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

 

THIRD WITCH (a stealth Conservative)

Scale of BONIOR, tooth of WOLF,

HILLARY'S memory, maw and gulf

A ravin'd salt-sea shark,

Ears of the MARTINS digg'd i' the dark,

Gall of BILL, and McCURRY'S slips

"Noes" of LANNY, and HUBBELL'S lips,

Finger of ICKES ditch-deliver'd by a drab,

Make the gruel thick and slab:

Add thereto a Chinese squadron,

For the ingredients of our cauldron.

 

ALL

Double, trouble TOIL for HUBBELL;

Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

 

SECOND WITCH:

Cool it with cash and blood,

Then the charm is firm and good.

I believe that this espionage case -- the Chinese -- is the worst in the history of this country. They got just about everything that we have and you'll see it in the out years in their development of their weapons.

China space shot has military implications

China launches first manned space flight
Reuters ^ | 10-14-03

Wed 15 October, 2003 02:07 BST

BEIJING (Reuters) - China has launched its first manned space flight from the Gobi desert, Xinhua news agency says, in its bid to become the third country to put a man in orbit after the former Soviet Union and the United States.

The Shenzhou V, or "Divine Ship V", was expected to orbit the Earth 14 times before returning after about 21 hours.

Xinhua said the craft carried astronaut Yang Liwei, 38. The launch on Wednesday, 42 years after the Soviet Union put the first man into space, marked a milestone for China's secretive space programme, which analysts say has its sights set on a manned mission to the moon.

Johnny Chung audio included above

What has Mr. Chung told us? He has told us that General Ji Sheng De, the head of the military intelligence of the People's Liberation Army, which is the equivalent of our CIA, gave him $300,000. General Ji would be the equivalent, as I said, of our CIA. It was wired to him through Lieutenant Colonel Liu Chao Ying of China Aerospace, whose father was the head of the People's Liberation Army at one time and a member of the hierarchy in the Chinese Government.

Mr. Chung has told us that the general told him the following: ''We really like your President. We hope he will be reelected. I will give you 300,000 U.S. dollars, and you can give it to your President and the Democrat party.'' Shortly after this Mr. Chung gave $35,000 to the DNC.

Mr. Chung has told us that he was told other people were also giving money to ''do good things for China.'' One of the other people who was mentioned was Mark Middleton, a former high-level White House aide. He was told that Mark Middleton got a half a million dollars from a source that remains unclear. Mr. Middleton has taken the fifth with this committee. He has refused to talk to us.

Johnny Chung has also told us that he was told that a Boeing representative from Hong Kong, a Mr. Young, was also working with the Chinese Government. We still haven't resolved who this is.

Johnny Chung has informed us that he was told by another source that Charlie Trie asked the Chinese Government for $1 million to help the President. He'll testify that he saw the head of the United States consulate in Beijing take cash in exchange for visas. This is just outrageous.

Did Mark Middleton get half a million dollars from the Chinese Government? If he did, what was it for? Did Charlie Trie try to get $1 million from the Chinese Government, and did he get it? We know that he got over $1 million from a Macau developer with close ties to China.

Does most everyone know that Hillary is a closet lesbian and is well rumored that her bed buddy is Janet Reno? Why do you think that after a hundred or so adultrous affairs that her obbessive addictive husband has had, she is still with him...because she has had her own flings with God knows who, because she IS guilty the same things...I have heard on tv an interview with one of his ex bed buddies many things about what went on in Arkansas when Billy Boy was Gov. and Hillary cheating on him with men and he cheating on her with other women...
So basically, they're only staying with each other for prominence, prestige and APPEARANCE. *(Things aren't always what they appear to be....sooooooo true!!)

jla

unny. My Margaret-O'Leary ensemble doesn't seem to "screen out" my gender....

Tina Brown is onto something with her 'burqa' reference, but as is the leftie wont, she has it exactly backwards.

While Brown is correct to suggest that the swath cut by missus clinton isn't "aggressively masculine," she is wrong to imply that underneath the self-imposed burqa, missus clinton is female. Genderwise, missus clinton is exactly what you see: submissively male.

Brown's reason for the pantsuits is, thus, wrong. Missus clinton's gender has nothing to do with this particular clinton coverup. (NB: Tina Brown's 'theory of the hillary pantsuit' is also easily disproved by two clinton counterexamples: missus clinton's burqa-length dresses and her reflexive use of the victim pose.)

The reason pantsuits are a must for missus clinton is that she must screen out her lower (as opposed to 'lowest') extremities. (That she is also screening out her submissive affect remains viable, however.)

Do you recall ever seeing hillary clinton during, say, the last ten years, wearing a skirt or dress whose hemline fell below the knee and above the ankle (as best as those bounds--and, hence, that area of leg--can be distinguished from the whole)?

Early in the clinton 'presidency,' a photo of a shin-length-beskirted clinton made the rounds. Even the Times ran with it, as I recall.

A clinton poll wasn't needed to determine that with her legs and low center of gravity, hillary-in-a-shin-length-skirt-as-a-political-construct would be rejected by virtually every male voter extant.

Never again, therefore, did this purported feminist wear anything shorter than a burqa....

 

It isn't that they can't see the solution. It is that they can't see the problem.

G. K. Chesterton

 

... While America appears not to be ready for a female president under any circumstances, the post-9/11 realities pose special problems for a female presidential candidate. Add to these the problems unique to missus clinton. The reviews make the mistake of focusing on the problems of the generic female presidential candidate running during ordinary times.

These are not ordinary times. America is waging the global War on Terror; the uncharted territory of asymmetric netherworlds is the battlefield; the enemy is brutal, subhuman; the threat of global conflagration is real.

Defeating the enemy isn't sufficient. For America to prevail, she must also defeat a retrograde, misogynous, troglodyte mindset. To successfully prosecute the War on Terror, it is essential that the collective patriarchal islamic culture perceives America as politically and militarily strong. Condi Rice excepted, this requirement presents an insurmountable hurdle for any female presidential candidate, and especially missus clinton, historically antimilitary, forever the pitiful victim, and, according to Dick Morris, "the biggest dove in the clinton administration."

It is ironic that had the clintons not failed utterly to fight terrorism... not failed to take bin Laden from Sudan... not failed repeatedly to decapitate a nascent, still stoppable al Qaeda... the generic female president as a construct would still be viable... missus clinton's obstacles would be limited largely to standard-issue clintonisms: corruption, abuse, malpractice, malfeasance, megalomania, rape and treason... and, in spite of Juanita Broaddrick, or perhaps because of her, Rod Lurie would be reduced to perversely hawking the "First Gentleman" instead of the "Commander-in-Chief."

I do not know what "Bump" means and I really dont care to know in the context of this Posting arena. As far as a burqa and her dressing code I could care less of that is as well, although it attracts my attention to the attire as well because in my moral code book any Republican (Royal) First Lady should dress the part of First Lady as should be. Ya know, in any other Country besides ours any woman in a prestigous, honorable, and yet desirable position and to the RIGHT hand of her husband AND NOT in place of or in FRONT OF is considered royalty. She should dress the part and not act or dress a bit down if you will.
To have character, morals and integrity even with clothing speaks of what is in the heart. Lets not get lost on clothing and this womans outward appearance, although she needs a bit, ok a lot of touching up both in the ward robe and attitude department. But her problem is not in her clothing or attitude it goes much deeper. The problem is not the fruit, but the root. Not the outward but the inward.
And Mia, What I have written about Mrs. Clinton is precisely true regarding her to be a lesbian but a closet one but not it being affiliated with her aspirations of being in the White House. One affair or a hundred, she turns her head because she does the same...

While channel surfing, I saw an advertisement on ABC for Commander-In-Chief. In the ad, they said that 26 million people watched the show last week. The Nielsen ratings for last week ( http://tv.zap2it.com/tveditorial/tve_main/1,1002,272|||weekly,00.html ) show 16 million viewers. ABC embellished by 10 million people! If they actually drew in the 26 million as claimed, it would put them right up with Desperate Housewives, which they obviously weren't. They finished #7. Did anybody else catch that?
