AN OPEN LETTER TO TIM ROBBINS, DAVID GEFFEN, CHRIS MATTHEWS, MAUREEN DOWD + JEANINE PIRRO
RE: a not-so-modest proposal concerning hillary clinton
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, as is their wont, are now taking this proxy scheme to even more outrageous extremes.
The latest: an actual hillary clinton proxy presidency, populated on both sides of the camera by assorted rodham and clinton ex-staffers, sycophants and should-be felons, witness the latest hire.
'Commander-in-Chief,' a show that sets out to crown a 'queen,' instead exposes the kitschy simplemindedness of Hollywood fantasy and the special sway and shortsightedness of the pathologic ego.
What was supposed to be Hollywood propaganda to make a hillary presidency marginally palatable has instead become a parable about missus clinton's own dystopian future.
ABC announced the other day that it is pulling "Commander-in-Chief" off the air "until spring." Missus clinton's proxy presidency, you see, has been in a ratings free fall ever since "American Idol" took it on.
In a perverse life-mirrors-art moment, support for the real-life missus clinton's presidency has plummeted, too. This even sans Rudy, her real-life "American Idol" opponent.
'Ars artia gratis.' Please!

THE DANGER OF RUNNING VICARIOUSLY

THE HILLARY, YOU KNOW, CLINTON TRANSCRIPT:
|
|
Background:
Using internal polling, the clinton 'infrastructure' determined that its cozy-clintonoid-interviews-of-the-Colmes/King-kind-scheme is no longer working. The scheme, which successfully shepherded and shielded the vacuous, inept, corrupt clintons for nine years, is now, post-9/11, yielding diminishing returns--and worse--increasing ridicule.
Hence, we had the clinton 'infrastructure' interviewer recalculation last week that specified more interviewer gravitas...and less lapdog...but not more doggedness...that is to say...that specified Jeff Greenfield.
A miscalculation, as it turned out. Greenfield made up in contempt what he lacked in inexorability. Although he conducted the entire interview circumambulating on eggshells, Greenfield did eventually ask the hard-boiled questions...
ASIDE: The tough questioning was followed by Greenfield's sudden, post-interview departure from CNN, a development which will only further reinforce cozy-clintonoid-interviews-of-the-Colmes/King-kind 4th-estate malfeasance.
Analysis:
Greenfield's circuitous path to clinton depravity and failure necessitates a nonlinear analysis of the data; we will use a least squares curve fitter. Proportional hazards political survival regression analysis will generate a political survival curve for hillary clinton, which will show her viability (so to speak) over time.
Political survival time is defined as the length of the interval between the initial political trial balloon and political moribundity. Political moribundity is defined as two consecutive political failures--(one in the case of 9/11), or three not-necessarily-consecutive boo-filled public appearances, or one instance of a serious proposal generating laughter.
ASIDE: Since by any of these standards, hillary clinton is already flatlined, the more interesting question for this analysis would be: "What the hell is this moribund loser doing in the political arena, anyway?"
Survival is influenced by one or more factors, called "predictors" or "covariates", which may be categorical (such as the quality of 'infrastructure') or continuous (such as intellect or eloquence or character).

A HILLARY 'LANDSLIDE'???
Such conditions, irrespective of vote tally, can never a 'landslide' make.
Nonetheless, missus clinton dumped 30-million-dollars' worth of false advertising 2 into the race: Standard-issue clinton sleight-of-hand intended to transmute:
The purpose of the 30-million-dollar demagogic infusion was to create the illusion of a landslide in New York in '06, which would, (so the wishful thinking goes), create the illusion of national electability in '08, an absolute prerequisite to nomination for someone with a Q Score as wanting as missus clinton's. 6
FUZZY MATH AT THE NEW YORK TIMES
The official New York State Board of Elections tally will not be available until mid-December, a sufficient time lag for Pinch and Company 7 to exaggerate the significance of the hillary vote and for the mischaracterization to become firmly fixed in our collective 'history.' Truth and America matter not at all to The New York Times. Agenda is everything. 8 The Times' clinton endorsements redux. 9
If missus clinton won two-thirds of the total vote and two-thirds of the male vote, she could not have won three-quarters of female vote unless the total female vote was at or about zero. Similarly, if she won two-thirds of the total vote and three-quarters of female vote, she could not have won two-thirds of the male vote.
SPITZER'S ZIPPER
For her entire adult (such as it is) life, zipper-hoisting has been missus clinton's principal means of upward mobility. 10 This election was no different.
Zipper-hoisting has, in the past, proven 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.
This time she picked zippers a bit better, glomming onto Eliot's.
Contrary to 'conventional wisdom,' the coattails (if you'll pardon the mixed metaphor) were Eliot's, not hers. The three percent who voted for Spitzer who could not overcome their revulsion to pull the lever for hillary tell it all.

Point well-taken, altho I am sympathetic to Rudy's thinking here, i.e., running for senator (1) would put his presidential run at risk, and (2), would be a step down.
Fact 2: If she runs, the MSM will form a gauntlet around Hillary unlike anything we have ever seen. The smallest Republican misstep will be endlessly repeated while the largest Democrat scandal will be buried. We have not yet seen the lengths the MSM will go to to guarantee a Democrat victory. The argument is always made - Hillary will be shown in public forums and debates as the shrewish lier and Machiavellian power-mad dominatrix she is. I don't buy that. If she runs, she will be stage managed in such a way that will make Mother Teressa look like Barbra Streisand.
True... but there isn't a gauntlet large enough to cover her--if you'll pardon the mixed metaphor--baggage. The opposition will make the swiftboating of Kerry look like sandbox play.
In the end, she will be the agent of her own demise. (If she runs, she will, perforce, have to open her mouth.)
As for Giuliani, his strength is precisely that his appeal transcends party.
If missus clinton runs, and if Giuliani is the GOP candidate, conservatives, I believe, will be wise enough this time not to place a de facto vote for a clinton.
Their challenge in both the nominating process and the general election will be to put America's security ahead of doctrinal purity.
Oh I how wish that were true..
One Caveat to my analysis, however, is this: if she decides to take up golf. Hillary as a scatch golfer ... well, my model cannot account for that variable - I would probably have to construct a finite element model, but my competencies there ... well, they are not good. :)
No doubt--golf is the subtext.

FYI
Any teeing off lately in Chappaqua and environs?
She can run, but won't be able to hide. :)
Hope you had a great holiday Mia.
touché and thanx.
hope your holiday was great, too. :)
I ate the turkey, but was not a turkey...
Thank you very much! :-)
Got to go, thanks.

<< Mrs. Clinton has held positions outside the government.
Does the Rose "law" Firm come to mind? >>
The loathsome and fearsome, dangerously-dullard, treasonous, recidivist, pathologically-lying-unindicted-co-conspiritorial co-serial rapist gangster moll, AKA Missus AKA: "Bruno") Cli'ton's role at Rose "law" was that of (brown paper) bag person.
Her only "work" there was to provide a quid pro quo channel to the definitively-corrupt Arkansas governor's office.
Doubt that?
Please list even one example of a successful -- or any other -- litigation ever conducted by her. (Hint: It'll be easier to find evidence of her "prowess" as a "futures' trader")

Most excellent, Mia!
FReepmail on the way..................FRegards
Thank you, gonzo. :)
She will run, and Obama will be her VP candidate.
Ever since she left the White House, however, there's been a background noise following Clinton, like a persistent hum in a pair of stereo speakers: Hillary '08. Now, the formality of her reelection campaign out of the way, that noise will move to the foreground. The timing couldn't be more fascinating. For the past month, Clinton has watched as the Barack Obama boomlet has swelled. Part of the hype is media infatuation. Part is book-tour manipulation. But beneath the buzz lies a genuine public hunger for change, a fresh face, authenticity. Also feeding Obamamania, on the Democratic left, is a rabid desire for an antiwar 2008 presidential candidate. These qualities are exactly Clinton's weaknesses. The complaint most often heard about Hillary, even from supporters, is that she has no principles other than ambition, that it's impossible to say what she stands for anymore. ... If Clinton now goes national, the challenge for the candidate and her massive organization will be to turn the unscripted Hillary loose now and then.... At 59, for the first time in her life, Clinton is rich, thanks to her best-selling autobiography. ... Big as it is, so far the Hillary machine has been impressively quick, efficient, and relentless. The flip side is that Clinton's superstructure also is at the core of her authenticity problems. Everything she does seems stage-managed.... Chattering-class talk that Hillary can't win growing ever louder? James Carville and Mark Penn write an op-ed for the Washington Post laying out why she can. Not that she's running for president, mind you. THE WOMAN IN THE BUBBLE |
Hmmm... I dunno. Neither is a credible commander in chief....
Neither were Bill Clinton or Jimmah Carter.
But they don't think like you and I. It's about attaining power to control their agenda and nothing else.
Indeed....
but I would like to think the post-9/11 voter is a tad more discriminating when it comes to hiring the commander in chief. In fact, those two 'presidencies' argue for precisely that.
