GONE WITH THE WIND

"When you look at the way the House of Representatives has been run, it has been run like a plantation, and you know what I'm talkin' about. [Note the gratuitous gerundial g-dropping.]

... We have a culture of corruption. We have cronyism. We have incompetence. I predict to you that this administration will go down in history as one of the worst that has ever governed our country."

(Miss hillary also apologized to a group of Hurricane Katrina evacuees in the audience "on behalf of a government that left you behind.)

"It's time for us to come together. It's time for us to rebuild a New Orleans, the one that should be, a chocolate New Orleans. And I don't care what people are saying uptown or wherever they are. This city will be chocolate at the end of the day.... You can't have New Orleans no other way."

ixing metaphors.

If Katrina's inescapable allusion is the parting of the Red Sea, (and it is):

Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.... And it was told the king of Egypt that the people were fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was changed towards the people, and they said, What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us? ...And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left. And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.... And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, even all the host of Pharaoh that went in after them into the sea; there remained not so much as one of them. (Exodus 14)

 ... the Democratic Party's inescapable allusion is the plantation.

Miss hillary's 'plantation' metaphor, ostensibly about Bush and the Republicans, is really about the clintons and Katrina and New Orleans and the Democratic Party. (The Left generally, and the clintons, in particular, are notoriously projectional.)

Katrina has opened the eyes of the poor -- mostly black -- underclass, the Left's absolutely essential, and until now, captive, constituency.

The clintons and the Left are terrified that these poor people will finally see what has been before them for 60 years: Not only a failed idea, but a party whose power depends on perpetuating that failure.

The clintons and the Left are terrified that these people will finally see the modern Democratic party for what it is: a bunch of bitter, self-serving, moribund, power-hungry, dangerous elistists whose very existence depends keeping them dirt poor, disinformed and dependent.... This, in contrast to a Republican party whose power depends on their education, self-sufficiency and success.

Indeed, the people are already seeing.

Why do you suppose the clintons and Landrieu -- through Mayor ('chocolate... You can't have New Orleans no other way') Nagin -- tried to get their voters back, post haste (no trouble bussing 'em straightaway and en masse when it's to the polls) -- to a still toxic morgue with no potable water, no emergency support and with renewed risk of deluge?

'CULTURE OF CORRUPTION'

Finally, why miss hillary's shameless "culture of corruption" harangue? Its tactical reason for being was diversionary. Miss hillary was unable to answer a question from the audience. ("Why did you vote for the war?")

But "culture of corruption" also served a broader, strategic function: the inflation of the clinton legacy. Downward revision ("defining deviancy down") is the classic clinton m.o., (see Jefferson double-helix hoax), (although clinton, exposed, will often argue the obverse -- the double negative offers the illusion of higher ground.)

Posthumous misappropriation, for obvious reasons the clintons' preferred method of legacy inflation, was unavailable. Miss hillary will take whatever she can get.

Yesterday, Daniel Patrick Moynihan died. Today, the clintons are arrogating his soul. Hardly surprising. In 1999, the clintons were not at all shy about seizing his still-warm senate seat.

One has merely to recall the Jefferson double-helix hoax to understand that posthumous misappropriation is, for the obvious reason, the clintons' preferred method of legacy inflation….

Standard-Issue clintonism

If misappropriation of Jefferson's alleles hinged on a broken line of descent, misappropriation of Moynihan's endorsement depends on a broken line of dissent. Like Sally Hemmings' progeny, Moynihan's later acquiescence is of dubious lineage

"[Hillary Clinton] is in a perpetual state of suspended anger...."

"Hillary hit him between the eyes. She was angrier than Paul had ever seen her. 'You f**king Jew bastard!' she screamed."

State of a Union
(New York: Harper-Collins, 2000) p. 153

 

[W]hen White House Counsel... Abner Mikva finally bowed to the law and delivered subpoenaed documents, she and her White House scandal team lashed at him with such a vicious streak of humiliating profanity that he resigned.

"Anyone that stood up... was smashed down and belittled,very personally. [N]ot only would she sort of humiliate you in front of your colleagues or whoever happened to be around, Hillary tended to kind of campaign against people behind their back, and that was certainly my experience."

The Clinton Years

Longtime Hillary aide Carolyn Huber, who saved Mrs. Clinton's buns in 1996 with a convenient cover story about how her mysterious Rose Law Firm billing records magically appeared in the White House book room, described the former first lady's fits of rage to Sheehy as nearly lethal. "The person on the receiving end never gets over it," Huber remembered, reportedly shivering as she spoke those words.

Hillary's Scheme
(New York: Crown Forum, 2003) p. 88
Hillary's Choice
(New York: Random House, 1999) p. 11

The rages continued even after Mrs. Clinton took up residence in the White House, where she blew up at a Secret Service agent for declining to carry her bags. When the agent explained that he needed to keep his hands free in order to protect her, she replied, "If you want to remain on this detail, get your f**king ass over here and grab those bags."

AN OPEN LETTER TO TIM ROBBINS, DAVID GEFFEN, CHRIS MATTHEWS, MAUREEN DOWD + JEANINE PIRRO

RE: a not-so-modest proposal concerning hillary clinton

Dear Concerned Americans,

Hillary Clinton's revisionist tome notwithstanding, 'living history' begets a certain symmetry. It is in that light that I make this not-so-modest proposal on this day, exactly 64 years after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

The context of our concern today--regardless of political affiliation--is Iraq and The War on Terror, but the larger fear is that our democracy may not survive.

We have the requisite machines, power and know-how to defeat the enemy in Iraq and elsewhere, but do we have the will?

In particular, do we have the will to identify and defeat the enemy in our midst?

Answerable to no one, heir apparent in her own mind, self-serving in the extreme, Hillary Clinton incarnates this insidious new threat to our survival.

What we decide to do about Missus Clinton will tell us much about what awaits us in these perilous new times.

<< The clintons and the left are terrified that these people will finally see [Them for what they are] .... a bunch of bitter, self-serving, moribund, power-hungry, dangerous elistists .... >>

Which, except for the left's definitive bigotry of no expectations whatsoever of far too many of us, its archetypal projection of the contents of its collectivist character and far-too-frequent use of such language as, "You f**king Jew bastard!"' and, "If you want to remain on this detail, get your f**king ass over here and grab those bags" and "he's my personal pet pig," is beginning to sound uncomfortably like way to many so-called "Republicans!"

"Term Limits," anyone?

Wonderful work Ms M!

Excellent post. I especially liked this part.

The clintons and the Left are terrified that these people will finally see the modern Democratic party for what it is: a bunch of bitter, self-serving, moribund, power-hungry, dangerous elistists whose very existence depends on keeping them dirt poor, misinformed and dependent.... This, in contrast to a Republican party whose power depends on their education, self-sufficiency and success.

Doesn't this remind you of:

"Can I get me a huntin' license here?"

hey Mia,

I find hillary's comments about the republicans running the house like a plantation, particularly neauseating and hypocritical when you consider her husband was sued by the NAACP for not enforcing civil rights laws in arkansas. He also fired some little old black lady who had her state job for 17 years to put Gennifer Flowers in her position.

What a pathetic hypocrite hillary is!

Tony Snow said that directly after the "You know what I'm talkin' about" you could hear the air conditioner in the background.
Says a lot as to how that comment was received.

Hillary Standing at the Door of the ruined Democrat Plantation listening to Bill tell her, "Frankly My Dear, I don't give a damn!", while Atlanta glows in the background from the fires of the Islamic Bomb.

Meanwhile, her po' black servant is in the background saying, "I don't know nothin' about abortin' no babies, Miss Hillary!"

What a GREAT 2006 Campaign Commercial!!!!!
