LOL. The lines at the end of Macbeth, after he has been killed by MacDuff always reminded me of the Clintons-"...this dead butcher and his fiendlike queen..."

The public wants sincerity. When you can fake that, you've got it made.

A priceless article which is right on the mark...why does a Brit have to be the one to speak these truths?

Hillary Clinton is more like Madam Defarge from the Tale of Two Cities, or Elsa Koch the wife of the Nazi Slave camp who made lampshdes out of human skin.

It's going to be an interesting Dem campaign. First, the Obama love affair, then the Edwards moments, culminating in the gory Clinton machine slash and burn victory. The vice-chair goes to Obama (his goal all along), Edwards left out in the cold, crying with Kerry over the unfairness of it all.

Clinton/Obama, take it to the bank.

All politicians, sadly, lie. We can often forgive the lies as the necessary price paid to win popularity for a noble cause. But the Clinton candidacy is a Grand Deceit, an entirely artificial construct built around a person who, stripped bare of the cynicism, manipulation and calculation, is nothing more than an enormous, overpowering and rather terrifying ego.

I remember my literature professor's description: "Lady Macbeth had the ability to cover treacherous purposes with convincing smiles. She could look like an innocent flower, while she was actually the serpent which lay coiled beneath its petals."

Media Shenanigans ping.

An ANTI-Media Shenanigans ping from one of our cousins across the pond - Gerard Baker, Times(UK).

Breathtakingly concise, it took a Brit to strip bare the soul of the Queen of Cynicism.

This guy better watch his six...

I'm re-reading Hillary's Secret War (which we should all read now that Hillary has announced) and the author makes the point that when Clinton fired 91 (I think that was the number) US Attorneys and installed his own people, he all but guaranteed desirable outcomes for all the investigations into Clinton's misdoings.

He also arranged for 8 DC circuit court judges to be fired by using phony ethics charges and installed his own people. They meet in secret once a month and it even raised eyebrows in the Washington Post at the time.

The author details the reporters who tried to report on Clinton's misdeeds and who got beaten up. Eventually the media got afraid, got the message, and don't give the Clinton's anything but positive press.

A rather insightful piece... When it appeared Algore might still be harboring ambitions for the presidency, I remember some pundit noting that Al would be the better president because "he is a moderate pretending to be a radical" whereas Hillary "is a radical leftist pretending to be a moderate."

The one thing that bucks me up these days is the lifelong observation that inconsistency and vacillation are always punished in politics. The obvious u-turns and false front that Hillary has presented and constructed just will not be accepted in a general election. That's my hope anyway.

Wonder if he's heard the rumor about fake sick children...
