Thank you. But scratch 'paints.' Make that 'dismisses.'

Nina Burleigh dismisses 'hillary' as a dull, midlevel technocrat (and I use that word loosely), whose zipper-hoisting ("charm") can take her no higher.


A twist--and, if you'll pardon the double entendre, a pun--on the Peter Principle.

For her entire adult (such as it is) life, zipper-hoisting has been missus clinton's principal means of upward mobility.

Zipper-hoisting has proved to be a sticky wicket for missus clinton, owing not to antithetical feminist ideology, as one would expect -- feminists willingly sacrificed feminism on the altar of clintonism -- but to zipper choice, her rather injudicious attachment early on to a certain zipper habitually on the downslide.

John Podhoretz recently asked, "Whence comes hillary clinton's reputation for brilliance?" For the answer, he intuitively, rather brilliantly in fact, looked to her anatomy and noted,"This isn't the first time she's shot herself in the foot."

 ... The above anatomical analysis supports the Podhoretz thesis. Notwithstanding The Pod's erroneous conclusions concerning hillary clinton's heart and nerve, he basically has it right. Anatomy is destiny...
 
Ian Hunter recently observed that our leaders are shrinking. "From a Churchill (or, for that matter, a Margaret Thatcher) to a Tony Blair [NB: a pre-9/11 Blair]; from Eisenhower to Clinton; from Diefenbaker to Joe Clark; from Trudeau to Chretien -- we seem destined to be governed by pygmies."

the danger of the unrelenting smallness of bill + hillary clinton

The pols understand their anatomical limitations well; they attempt to mitigate them with veneer. And so we suffer mindless alpha-beta-beelzebubba grotesquerie. . . and rhinestone-studded-and-tented kleptocracy.

Interesting developments concerning 2008 presidential election:
Anti-Electoral College Bill Passes Louisiana Committee
May 12th, 2006
On May 10, the Louisiana House Governmental Affairs Committee Passed HB 927, the bill to award the state’s electoral college votes to whomever gets the most popular votes nationwide. The vote was 6-4. Democrats have a majority in both houses of the Louisiana legislature, and a Democratic Governor.

A similar bill in Illinois failed to pass, and the legislature has now adjourned for the year. A similar bill in Missouri cannot pass this year (because it failed to move ahead in time), unless the substance of it gets amended into another bill that does pass.

Supporters of the idea say they will have bills in all states next year.

South Park hammered Al Gore's political future into the ground like a tent stake with it's "manbearpig" episode.

SNL didn't do him any favors last week, either.

Other than hillary herself, exactly who (on the Left) actually wants her to run?
The purported groundswell for hillary is just another clinton PR stunt.

No, no, the left REALLY believes Hillary is too moderate to be electable for them.
With socialized medicine
and a central planning agency...
Guess we'll have a fight on our hands in 2008.
Either that or it's a sinister plot to deflect criticism in '06 for '08.

The zoysia is doing remarkably well, if you were wondering about it. :^)

Would that it were that simple to crowd out the mediocrity that has overtaken DC.

Well unfortunately they don't produce Jefferson/Reagan plugs.
And the mediocans would be nowhere near as prevalent if folks didn't keep insisting, or being talked into, voting for them.
As for the mediocrats, I believe their roots are deep and well-established. Although a steady dose of conservicide keeps them neutralized to where they may be a nuisance to mow around, and not all that attractive to the eye, their expansion is yet stymied, and influence made futile.

The current debate on stopping illegal immigration and correcting 20 years of neglect in regard to same, is the Right's best opportunity to organize and motivate the generally lackluster republican field to retain control of the legislative branch in November.

It is critical that conservatives barrage their representatives for as long as the issue is in the forefront, that Amnesty in any form not be offered to lawbreakers, that "comprehensive reform" must come AFTER closing the boarders to the uninvited, and AFTER bona fide interior enforcement along with a national English only law and a serious movement to reform the citizenship by birth rule.

If conservatives drive this issue to a proper conclusion, as they did with the last Supreme Court judicial appointment, by October, a far greater number of republican candidates will have "seen the light" on many more issues than immigration.

The thing about Al Gore and Gore Vidal being related is interesting. I'm am amateur genealogist and I've read that no one can find a way that they are related, though I've heard each one refer to the other as "cousin". President Bush and John Kerry are cousins four or five times and yet they don't go around calling each other cousin.

I guess Nina has no interest in performing oral on Mrs. C.

4. Gore is squeaky clean, untouched by corruption. No lost billing records in his linen closet, no Enron or Abramoff staining his campaign finance reports.

I think the Internet archive will put an end to that nonsense!
