LOL Every line of dialogue ever written for the Borg Queen sounds like it was delivered by Her Thighness, and vice-versa. That bitch is a totalitarian in ways the Left doesn't even have the imagination to accuse Bush of being.

Hillary in her own words: “I have a million ideas. The country can’t afford them all.”

I'd like to think that Hillary is not inevitable (and that our long national nightmare isn't scheduled to begin on Jan. 20, 2009), but the mainstream media has a history of turning on the Clintons, being angry or disgusted for a few days or even a couple of weeks, and then suddenly loving them again...the brouhaha is over as surely as a summer storm.

The problem, besides the resources (money and political sharpies) lined up behind Hillary, is that none of her opponents look like plausible nominees...a lightweight first-term senator with big ears, a lightweight former senator with nice hair, and a few candidates whom nobody takes seriously.

Then Hillary will make a proposal or go do an interview, and then the MSM will be kissing (blech!) her ring...

The Drive-By Media will be giving Hillary a Lewinsky very soon. Tim Russert will roll over and do a puff-piece interview soon and all will be back in balance.

“The next day, Clinton’s slightly rattled machine played the gender card, describing the way she’d been piled into by her rivals as a classic case of six men attacking a woman. She sent out a fundraising letter complaining about the “pile-on”. Yes, Clinton is a feminist until she gets into trouble and then she plays the wounded woman card. It’s not a new schtick, of course. She was a feminist until she had the chance to run for office in the 1980s and chose to coopt political power via her husband first.”

THE best description of what happened last week I have seen.

I agree. This is just another setup, like William the Impeached with that scripted encounter with the Truthers.

All of this crap is designed to sell newspapers with improbable headlines when it does not matter what they say. It is a year out from the election. No one is paying attention. You will not hear a word about this next summer and fall. No matter how badly Mrs. Clinton buggers up a debate when it counts, you can count on every network news station and every newspaper of note (except the WSJ) to trumpet how well she did and how she is a sure winner.

From another article on Hillary in today’s London Sunday Times:

If her opponents play tough, she can shrink and look like the intimidated woman beset by brutal men. If they treat her with kid gloves - all gallant forbearance and courtly deference - she can open up a can of whoop-ass on them as eagerly as a dockside bully.

Cackles is a real nut job. She could easily be pushed over the deep end, if only someone has the nerve to do it. Simple questions about current events befuddle her, but you know she has to be seething inside, ready to smash someone’s head with an ashtray. It’s the part of Hillary the whole world wants to see, the hate filled, narcissistic, demon driven kook that her close associates know so well.

I still can’t see the Democrats nominating anyone else. Somebody beats nobody any day of the week, and that’s who she is truly running against for the Democrat nomination.

Whose going to beat Hillary on the dem side? Obama is embarrassingly naive, Edwards sounds like what he is, a shyster lawyer selling a bill of goods to the jury.

Beyond that who is there? Biden? Kucinich? Gravel?

Mrs. Clinton has a lot of weak points as a nominee, and God forbid, a president. But she stands head and shoulders above the dem pack both in organization, presentation and competence.

I’m sick of Bushes and Clintons. Twenty years of them is too much. Time for new blood.

Apparently resistance is not futile.

BTW, how do you make an image appear in a post?

Twenty eight if you count Bush’s years as Reagan’s VP.

Can you imagine a real feminist – like, say, Margaret Thatcher –

What an insult. Strong women and feminists are not even close to being the same.

If you look closely her aura says:

"We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."

"We must stop thinking of the individual and start thinking about what is best for society.”

"It's time for a new beginning, for an end to government of the few, by the few, for the few, and to replace it with shared responsibility for shared prosperity."

"We can't just let business as usual go on, and that means something has to be taken away from some people.""

"We have to build a political consensus and that requires people to give up a little bit of their own turf in order to create this common ground."

"I certainly think the free market has failed."

"I think it's time to send a clear message to what has become the most profitable sector [oil] in the entire economy, that they are being watched."

"What I want to do is take those profits and apply them to alternative energy."

"I have a million ideas. The country can't afford them all."

Karl Marx or Frederick Engels said none of these things; Hillary Clinton said them all.

See here for more gems from Hillary:
