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

unning vicariously, as we have argued, has its risks.
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).
Results:

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.

Happy belated Thanksgiving, gonz and a Merry Christmas and great New Year, 2007! Compliments of the Season!
BUMP
Great collection, Mia, thanks. Please add me to your ping list.
I missed the whole Jeff Greenfield story. What happened? When was it? Is there a transcript, or a link????
I *love* seeing Herself making a fool of herself. :-)
Stay well...................FRegards
I originally posted the report of the Greenfield interview of missus clinton on January 22, 2002. The interview likely took place a few days or weeks earlier....
You can find the transcript at the following link:
THE COMPLETE ANNOTATED ('you know') INTERVIEW
As for hillary clinton making a fool of herself, note that even her own handlers don't trust her not to in an unscripted, (even friendly) venue.
Thank you, Brian. I wish you and yours the same. :)
- As for hillary clinton making a fool of herself, note that even her own handlers don't trust her not to in an unscripted, (even friendly) venue.--me
And with good cause:
Hillary in Aviary
But the obsessively perfectionistic dodo wasn't able to fake even one wrong answer in the Letterman phony "pop quiz," a nostalgic electuary of "Twenty-One" fraud and (Groucho) Marxist left-wing crow. Instead, this documented incompetent with no apparent creative or analytic (not to mention thespian) skills gushed forth with a lame--"It's the bluebird--I know that" --globally exposing herself to be the corrupt clown that the sentient among us already know she is. It is no accident--and the Sheehy hagiography notwithstanding, it is certainly not because of any patriarchal society--that this reflexive kleptocrat never sought office. She never ran simply because she is a perfectionist and an incompetent who cannot tolerate personal (as opposed to bill-related) criticism, witness the prescreened, heavily controlled, sycophantic crowds, her pre-programmed, totally scripted appearances (or, alternatively, her totally mute "listening tour"), her unavailability to the press, indeed, her "bluebird." Thus, the question begging to be asked is this: Why would this compulsively perfectionistic grotesquerie allow herself to be unambiguously exposed as the utter incompetent and fraud and fool and horror that she is? And why would this self-proclaimed protector of "the children" prolong her own child's profound trauma by forcing her own bottom-heavy self, soiled in its own right, onto the political stage? The answer, I believe, resides more in liberty loss than in power gain. Simply put, she is not running for office; she is running from indictment. And I fear Starr successor, Robert Ray, is unable to catch her... Ray's recent statement , " I have been charged with responsibly conducting the work of this office. Some of my responsibility is to ensure that there is no untoward effect on the political process," both confirms and encourages this latest round of clinton raping, pillaging, despoiling, destroying. Will this nightmare never end? |
You know, I, uh, really, you know, appreciate your, uh, response, and, uh, do seem, you know, to uh, recall, you know, that, uh, interview, you know, in my, uh, far away, you know, uh, memory.
(2/21/2005) Despite Russert's best efforts to help, Clinton stammered her way through a nonsense answer that made it plain that the use of military force wouldn't be in her playbook. "Well, you know, Tim, I don't think that you either rule it in or rule it out. I think that, you know, depending upon circumstances, it's something that, you know, the American government would have to, you know, consider. "But, for goodness sakes, I think we are a very long way from beginning to have that conversation, if we ever have to have it. But I don't believe in having any president of the United States or anybody, you know, in a position like Senator McCain and I in the United States Senate, you know, saying we would take anything off the table. But before we get to that question, let's try to, you know, deal with the many other possibilities."--hillary clinton For those counting, that was seven "you knows" in five sentences. |
And if you read the sentence without the you-knows to distract you, it means absolutely nothing.
Maybe the you-knows aren't accidental....
And if you read the sentence without the you-knows to distract you, it means absolutely nothing.Maybe the you-knows aren't accidental....--pinz-n-needlez
The frequency of clinton "you knows", which varied directly with intensity of Greenfield contempt and inversely with magnitude of Greenfield softballs, suggests otherwise.
clinton vacuity notwithstanding, I think clinton's tic-like insertion of "you know" is reflexive and a marker for ineloquence, vulgarity, ignorance, rube-meets-valley-girl demographics, low self-esteem, anxiety and insincerity.
Yeah, but once you get past those little flaws.... LOL

Thanx. Joe. :)

My pleasure Mia, and thank you,
Great job.
Thanx again, Joe. :)
Thank you, jla. :)
