Hillary Down to the 'Tonya Harding Option'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 03/26/2008 5:22:58 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Time to lace up the skates and cut some rhetorical figure-eights. GMA has quoted a Dem official as saying that in her desperate quest for the nomination, Hillary Clinton is down to "the Tonya Harding option." ABC senior political correspondent Jake Tapper cited the skating simile in his Good Morning America segment this morning.

JAKE TAPPER: It is mathematically possible, improbable yes, but possible for Senator Hillary Clinton to win the Democratic nomination. What concerns Democratic officials in Washington is what Clinton will have to do to Senator Barack Obama in order for that to happen. One Democratic official told ABC News it is “the Tonya Harding option.”

Cut to clip of Harding, skating at the 1994 Olympics, as Tapper continued.

As much as Obama bothers me politically, I can’t say I’d enjoy watching the “WHY? ..... WHY? ..... Waaaaaaaaah”

“Tonya has NOTHING on ole Hill!”

Plus the Clintons are too slick (pardon the pun) to use something like a wrench.

The hit will look much more accidental.

Ugh! Please, not this early.
I can imagine her kneecapping Obama with a crowbar.

Juan Williams, Mrs. Clinton's head cheerleader, just said on Fox that Clinton Inc. has to knock Obama’s halo off somehow. Any mention on the Today Show about the Dingy Harry option? The Friends reported that Dingy said he has the Obama v. Hillary situation handled and speculated that Dingy will offer Mrs. C. the Senate Majority position if she drops out, while he positions himself in Obama’s cabinet.

At the time, didn’t she pretend like she had no idea what Jeff and that other clown were doing?

Ok, if you won't imagine that, then how about in a thong?

The DNC Fax must be churning out new sound bites again.

Tapper, Tapper... didn’t he used to bloviate at Salon? The newsrag that sells for 17 shares a penny?

No thanks.

I’d need a fresh brainwash to imagine that.

Imaging her still on the planet is hard enough.

I keep hoping some mothership will take her to . . . ohhh Pluto or further.

. . . and leave her there.

This is getting real good... Looking at the video, I couldn’t help noticing the family resemblance as Chelsea answered (actually didn’t answer) that question and then started doing her mother’s typical head-bob. Chelsea: I think you’re going to need some deep reprogramming at the end of all this. Good luck!
