WHY THE GEFFEN IMBROGLIO SIGNALS CLINTON'S END
'HILLARY'S STRATEGY--NOBODY GETS TO CRITICIZE HER' -- CHRIS MATTHEWS
with a WARNING FOR DAVID GEFFENby Mia T, 2.26.07
ot sure whose stage presence is more ridiculous, hillary's or Al's.But at least Al Gore doesn't try to sound human.
To understand why this is such an advantage for Gore, simply consider missus clinton's recent 'conversation' (with herself).It was risible. Unintentional theater of the absurd:
A chintzed-and-powdered villain--a soulless, angry, arrogant scold--oozing cloying, saccharine-coated evil, pulsating to the metronomic swing of stubby appendages--claws too short to grab its prey.(Gesticulation is a dud's only sign of life... and then only if she has a speech coach to prod her.)
The performance was nothing if not humiliating: A direct measure of hillary clinton's hunger for power. Which reminds me... enough of that red Klingon power jacket already. Please..
STANISLAVSKI, NOTOne would think the cognitive dissonance caused by missus clinton's cloying, sing-songy delivery would cost her all of Hollywood.
And maybe it has....
Everyone--Hollywood, certainly--understands the paradox of this peculiar candidate well: In order for hillary clinton to have any chance of winning elections, she must all but vanish from the public stage.
'The stage was our school, our home, our life.' (Lillian Gish)
Clearly, missus clinton is the very antithesis of Hollywood. To borrow from Oscar Wilde, politics is a stage, too, but the play is badly cast.
RABELAISThe reason the Saturday Night Live take on 'hillary clinton, candidate' is so devastating is that it is not the usual SNL farce based on fact.
Rather, it is fact based on farce.
And missus clinton's "I'm in!" video confirms it.
Let down the curtain: the farce is done. (Rabelais)
Somebody stick the fork in her, already.
Please.'Al baby,' anyone?

HILLARY CLINTON'S Q SCORE (Hollywood take note)
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS MORIBUND LOSER DOING IN THE POLITICAL ARENA ANYWAY?- by Mia T, 01.26.07
-
ith a Q score—a measure of celebrity likability among the hoi polloi—in the toilet, missus clinton can win elections only by running virtually unopposed...And then only with the help of protheses, props, poses, PR machines, scripted appearances, screened audiences, vetted questions, Secret Service barracades, secret police, softball settings and sycophantic hosts... fictionalizing, 'humanizing,' digitizing and otherwise hiding the real hillary clinton.
And then we have the baggage....
Anyone else but a clinton would have been summarily laughed off the stage.
The American people must understand that to get this defective candidate elected, the clintons must pervert the electoral process, turn democracy on its head. That is to say, the best candidate must lose.
Hence the threats to the big donors.....

THE CLINTON MACHINE IS 'TRYING TO STRANGLE THE OBAMA CANDIDACY IN ITS CRADLE'
AN OPEN LETTER TO HOLLYWOOD

by Mia T, 01.25.07
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.

THE DANGER OF RUNNING VICARIOUSLY
Bill O'Reilly chews up and spits out the hillary clinton candidacy
(clip included)Running vicariously, as we have argued, has its risks.
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.

Her head bobbed nonstop in servile compliance.... Her gaze was fawning, fixed on him.... Her mouth was frozen shut, corners upturned a carefully calibrated nine degrees above the horizontal.... Not a smile.... (Never a smile).... Just enough of an upturn to hide the always-present anger. His sock puppet was on display.... Finally....Mia T, , 03.18.06
THREE WOMEN AND A FUNERAL:
HOW THE CLINTONS ARE HANDLING THE HILLARY DUD FACTOR 3
Will she run?
Missus clinton's most critical calculation will be whether she is going to be allowed to remain a stealth candidate.
Will her fraudulent virtual-ubiquity via ads, Hollywood productions, programmed softball interviews, head-bobbing "listening-tour" photo-ops, etc.) while hiding in real time --her "misère play condition," if you will--continue to satisfy the entrenched power in DC?
More important, will it play in Peoria after we expose it for the fraud that it is?

WILL HILLARY CLINTON RUN?
COMBINATORIAL GAME THEORY MAY PROVIDE THE ANSWER
-
- I just received the following wire from my generous Daddy___"Dear Jack, Don't buy a single vote more than is necessary. I'll be damned if I'm going to pay for a landslide."
John Fitzgerald Kennedy
- Nixon had three goals: to win by the biggest electoral landslide in history; to be remembered as a peacemaker; and to be accepted by the "Establishment" as an equal. He achieved all these objectives at the end of 1972 and the beginning of 1973. And he lost them all two months later___partly because he turned a dream into an obsession.
-
Henry Kissinger
- I just received the following wire from my generous Daddy___"Dear Jack, Don't buy a single vote more than is necessary. I'll be damned if I'm going to pay for a landslide."
Missus clinton ran for reelection against an unfunded* third-stringer with zero name recognition; that is to say, she ran virtually unopposed. Such conditions, irrespective of vote tally, can never a 'landslide' make.
(ASIDE: That missus clinton has never been tested should concern all Democrats.) 1Nonetheless, missus clinton dumped 30-million-dollars' worth of false advertising 2 into the race: Standard-issue clinton sleight-of-hand intended to transmute:
- hillary-dross 3 into gold (or at least into more 'plans' 11),
- real-time hillary-hiding into virtual hillary-ubiquity, 4
- hillary-abhorrence 5 into a measurable-if-hold-your-nose-variety hillary-nod.
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

A HILLARY 'LANDSLIDE'??? NOT SO FAST, MISSUS CLINTON....
by Mia T, 11.12.06
December 7, 1941+64
AN OPEN LETTER TO TIM ROBBINS, DAVID GEFFEN, CHRIS MATTHEWS, MAUREEN DOWD + JEANINE PIRRORE: 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.

"Hillary Rodham Clinton needs to be kept very far away from the White House for the rest of her life."My two cents' worth--and I think it is the two cents' worth of everybody who worked for the Clinton Administration health care reform effort of 1993-1994--is that Hillary Rodham Clinton needs to be kept very far away from the White House for the rest of her life. Heading up health-care reform was the only major administrative job she has ever tried to do. And she was a complete flop at it. She had neither the grasp of policy substance, the managerial skills, nor the political smarts to do the job she was then given. And she wasn't smart enough to realize that she was in over her head and had to get out of the Health Care Czar role quickly.... there is no reason to think that she would be anything but an abysmal president.-

Hillary Clinton?
Who would even know her name were it not for her attachment to a man?
Thank you, Gavin McNett, for your tribute to the incomparable Tammy Wynette. (TAMMY WYNETTE, 1942-1998) Too many pundits, usually leftist and privileged, sneer at country music. To these critics, any music created by poor, Southern whites (at least those poor, Southern whites who didn't attend an Ivy League university) must be held in contempt, along with its correlatives: incest, racism and trailer parks.
Hillary Clinton? Who would even know her name were it not for her attachment to a man? Where would she be now if she as a child had to pick cotton from sun up to sun down?
Tammy Wynette stands alone, a legend; and she will be admired wherever people appreciate the honesty of the human experience. Human beings are vulnerable. We all should be thankful to any artist courageous enough to bare her soul on the public stage so the rest of us who are listening and know whereof she speaks might benefit.

Salon.com... While America appears not to be ready for a female president under any circumstances, the post-9/11 realities pose special problems for a female presidential candidate. Add to these the problems unique to missus clinton. The reviews make the mistake of focusing on the problems of the generic female presidential candidate running during ordinary times.These are not ordinary times. America is waging the global War on Terror; the uncharted territory of asymmetric netherworlds is the battlefield; the enemy is brutal, subhuman; the threat of global conflagration is real.
Defeating the enemy isn't sufficient. For America to prevail, she must also defeat a retrograde, misogynous mindset. To successfully prosecute the War on Terror, it is essential that the collective patriarchal islamic culture perceives America as politically and militarily strong. Condi Rice excepted, this requirement presents an insurmountable hurdle for any female presidential candidate, and especially missus clinton, historically antimilitary--(an image, incidentally, that is only enhanced today by her clumsy, termagant parody of Thatcher), forever the pitiful victim, and, according to Dick Morris, "the biggest dove in the clinton administration."
It is ironic that had the clintons not failed utterly to fight terrorism... not failed to take bin Laden from Sudan... not failed repeatedly to decapitate a nascent, still stoppable al Qaeda... the generic female president as a construct would still be viable... missus clinton's obstacles would be limited largely to standard-issue clintonisms: corruption, abuse, malpractice, malfeasance, megalomania, rape and treason... and, in spite of Juanita Broaddrick, or perhaps because of her, Rod Lurie would be reduced to perversely hawking the "First Gentleman" instead of the "Commander-in-Chief."
