The Willing Suspension of Disbelief
Vanity | 9/13/07 | Wil H

Posted on 09/13/2007 3:12:40 PM PDT by Wil H

So hillary stated that it required "the willing suspension of disbelief" to accept General Petraeus' Report to Congress this week.

Fortunately, this is an easy accomplishment for hillary. She is an expert at the Willing Suspension of Disbelief as she demonstrated over the years.

Let's just think of some examples:

It requires the willing suspension of disbelief to believe a novice trader, can turn $10,000 into $100,000 by a series of complex cattle futures trades and then, having demonstrated a greater ability to trade successfully than anyone before or since, She was so disbelieving she suddenly stopped trading, and has done no trading since.

It requires the willing suspension of disbelief to believe that "the Smartest woman in the World" was unable to recall facts over 100 times in front of a grand jury.

It requires the willing suspension of disbelief to believe that the Rose Law Firm billing records suddenly turned up after three years of diligent searching in the White House.

It requires the willing suspension of disbelief to believe that no one had any idea who hired Craig Livingstone?

It requires the willing suspension of disbelief to believe that the man and his friends that have donated $850,000 to her campaign but appears to have no tangible assets are not a bunch of crooks?

It requires the willing suspension of disbelief to believe that her husband, didn't have sex with “that woman”.

It requires the willing suspension of disbelief to believe that Gennifer Flowers wasn't having an affair with her husband for years.

It requires the willing suspension of disbelief to believe that Vince Foster Shot himself in Fort Marcy Park.

I'm sure you can all think of other examples....

Sounds similar to something I heard on Rush yesterday. Very good points. She doesn’t pander to ‘reality based’ voters however.

Touche!

It also requires the willing suspension of disbelief to think that this person is even remotely qualified to be the leader of the free world.

Correction Wil, It was not $10,000 into $100,000, it was $1,000 into $100,000 much more impressive.

An most flabbergasting and inhuman of all: she quit.

Well, I’ve got to hand it to Hillary. She keeps her double negatives straight.

And she’s got a lot of them.

She has heard the muse and through her he speaks:

All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms.
And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress’ eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon’s mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slipper’d pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side,
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything

I believe that the world’s greatest trader actually opened her account with only $1000, not $10,000.

"Correction Wil, It was not $10,000 into $100,000, it was $1,000 into $100,000 much more impressive."

I remember hearing Rush make this mistake too. But it actually drove home how ridiculous it would be to even make TEN times your original investment in such a short time. 100 times, impossible. Short of winning the lottery I don't know of any legitimate investment that would do this. Even Bill Gates' fortune didn't go from 1 million to a billion in a couple of months.

It takes the willing suspension of disbelief of the ideals of the Founding Fathers and of the Constitution itself, to vote for BroomHilly for President.

But then again, the same thing was true of voting for Billy Jeff, and a plurality of voters, and majority of the electoral college, did that...TWICE.

Fasten your seat belts, it's gonna be a rough ride from here to November of '08. And rougher after that if la bruja wins.

It requires the willing suspension of disbelief to believe that Hillary had no idea her chief of staff, Maggie Williams, was accepting large amounts of cash IN HER WHITE HOUSE OFFICE from Johnny Chung.

It requires the willing suspension ot disbelief to believe that Janet Reno was the most qualified person to serve as Attorney General and Webb Hubbell was the most qualified to serve as Deputy Attorney General, in an administration run by two attorneys.

It requires the willing suspension of disbelief to believe that although Hillary is protected by the Secret Service they had no idea that Norman Hsu was a fugitive from justice.

It requires the willing suspension of disbelief to believe that Bill Clinton’s last-minute pardon of FALN terrorists had nothing to do with Hillary running for Senate from New York.

It requires the willing suspension of disbelief to believe that a plane crash caused a bullet-sized hole in the back of Ron Brown’s head.

It requires suspension of disbelief to believe Hillary had no idea her own brothers were selling presidential pardons.

It requires a willing suspension of disbelief to believe she is female....

That would take some hellish investigation, let alone personal sacrifice to follow through to make that determination. ; )
