HILLARY!
Can a chintzed-and-powdered villain win the White House?
LEADING INDICATORS SAY 'NO'

ven the most casual observer of the American political scene would agree: It's a tossup as to whose stage presence, hillary clinton's or Al Gore's, is the more ridiculous.
But as opposed to hillary-on-stage, Al thereon has a saving grace: He doesn't try to appear human. To the contrary, Al Gore embraces his humanoid essence. (In fairness to missus clinton, 'inhuman' is a measurably less salable descriptor than 'humanoid.')
To better understand why this is such an advantage for Mr. 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.
The fatal problem with the clinton machine's extravagant, fanciful and elaborate construction is not the absurdity, however. It is the architectonics. A precarious 20th-century conceit, the hillary! construct totters on a crumbling foundation of clinton lies, abuses and betrayals.
It should have been no surprise that David Geffen's comments to Maureen Dowd would so easily topple it.
But to the average clinton lackey, it apparently was.
A barrage of polls are shooting down the endless post-Geffen-imbroglio clinton-agitprop chatter calling hillary clinton and her machine the hands-down winner.
According to the latest Zogby Poll, Barack Obama is gaining fast on missus clinton. The Quinnipiac University Poll released today reports that Giuliani has widened his lead Over missus clinton in New Jersey (50-41).
But it is this week's Keystone Poll that foreshadows the final outcome. Rudy demolishes clinton in blue Pe-Ay (53-37). But more significantly, hillary clinton's favorable/unfavorable rating is a pathetic 32/46 in the state. (The other candidates have net positive favorable ratings.)
We have argued elsewhere that the only way missus clinton can win elections is to run virtually unopposed, and then only if she remains immobil, hidden, mute, a prisoner of her own ineptitude, repulsiveness and criminality.
But of the three, it is missus clinton's repulsiveness--her ugliness--that will do her in. The voters routinely ignore ineptitude, forgive criminality, but they never abide ugliness.
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

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.
'Ars artia gratis.' Please!
