Vote for the Miserable Failure ( perils of Susan Estrich )
wsj ^ | November 9, 2007 | JAMES TARANTO

Think you've got problems?

Consider the perils of Susan Estrich. Divorced, she has to eke out a living as a lawyer to support her two children. The demands of that job mean she doesn't get to see the kids as often as she likes.

She is overweight and lacks the discipline to exercise regularly. Her house is a mess, and unethical rug cleaners wrecked her living-room floor.

Wait, it gets worse.

Her nanny lacks medical insurance because the application form is too confusing for Estrich to fill out. Estrich herself has health care, but complications from a recent surgical procedure have her feeling worse than ever. Her kids are ungrateful. And she doesn't even have a boyfriend!

"Most days," Estrich writes in a FoxNews.com column, "I feel like a failure at most of the things I try to do, and the only question is the matter of degree."

Clearly, she is presidential material.

Estrich isn't throwing her own hat into the ring, but the purpose of her column is to explain that she favors Hillary Clinton because Mrs. Clinton, like Estrich, falls well short of being a "superwoman":

<1>I’m nobody’s victim, and I’m not complaining.

Please. The whole article from the first word to the last is a pity party.

Rodham Clinton is the penultimate back bencher of a Senator.
She even makes Jonn Kerry looks like a legislative genius.

“The whole article from the first word to the last is a pity party”.

In fact a piddle party with my puppy is more fun than this pity party. The next thing I expoect to hear is Estrich and Hillary touting hot flashes as their superweapon in the war against terror.

Susan Estrich? LOL I think the last time I paid any attention to her on TV was just after the last presidential election, and she seemed drunk, disoriented and in her cups, so to speak. Somewhere along the line, somebody told me that she taught law at one of California’s colleges. Shouldn’t that plus her appearances on TV be enough to pay the bills? As for Hillary Clinton, what America needs to keep formost in mind is that she is nothing but the ambitious wife of a failed former president.

MAN i HATE it when bad things happen to lawyers...

and now...the punchlines..

1. not enuff cement

2 when they move their mouths..

3 Because St. Patrick chased the snakes out of Ireland.

and the ever popular:

4. shoot the lawyer twice.

i reserve the balance of my time..

That's a lot of drinking involved. First, to marry her. Second, not only one kid, but he did it twice!!

New t-shirt:

Hillary! Represents failures everywhere.

Bumper sticker:

A vote for Hillary! is a vote for failure.

Campaign slogan:

Hillary! will keep a dirty (White)House just like I do!

Another one:

I’m a lawyer and I can’t even fill out health insurance forms. Think of the fun once the government gets involved! Vote for Hillary!

So the dope didn’t hit the big time by mocking Ann Coulter. Good.

Until I read of her support for the unroyal lowness CHILLERY SHRILLERY, her hideous heinous . . .

I was wondering if

I should retire my label of

Susan Pestrogen

I don’t think so.

Getting a clue could be a required preliminary to a better life.
