Pantsuits aside, Clinton’s looking better than ever
Boston Hearld ^ | May 6th, 2008 | Margery Eagan

We Obama girls are panicking.

He’s got a “Bubba gap,” the cover of Newsweek screams. Can he ever win a white male voter again?

Suddenly the biracial son of a single mother on food stamps has become the arugula-and-latte candidate, Mr. All-Organic please. The guy who just paid off his student loans has morphed into an effete Harvard philosopher king who has no clue as to how real people live. And this is before we even get into the nutty reverend mess.

Meanwhile, Hillary, $109 million in the bank and 30 years of life in a taxpayer-financed glass bubble, is champion of the little people. Their plight she understands completely. “She’s worked the night shift, too,” says a new Clinton ad comparing her to a waitress. I guess she refilled ketchup bottles somewhere between Wellesley, Yale Law and the Arkansas governor’s manse.

Here’s something else from Newsweek. Clinton man James Carville said that if Hillary gave Obama one of what it is that’s made her so rough and tough, “they’d both have two” of them.

Translation: The ex-community organizer from Chicago’s mean streets has no testicular fortitude. He’s a wuss. He bowls 37. He’s no patriot either. He doesn’t wear a flag pin. Neither do Hillary or McCain, but that’s not the point. The point is, Obama’s suddenly looking like our own Michael Dukakis, whose patriotism was dissed way back in ’88 because, as governor, he vetoed legislation making classroom teachers lead the pledge of allegiance every morning. He had no choice. The courts had ruled it unconstitutional.

Nonetheless, Bush the First went coast to coast asking voters why Dukakis hated the pledge. And then Bush the Second went coast to coast - what chutzpah - benefiting from swift-boaters’ slanders that our own genuine arugula-and-latte man, John Kerry, was not a war hero.

The lesson here: Never let the facts get in the way of a good ol’ he’s-no-patriot assault.

Here’s the 2008 version: Why does Obama hate America?

Meanwhile, Hillary, the real patriot, is throwing back shots of Crown Royal. Rumor has it she’s chewing tobacco in Indiana backwaters. Lassoed herself a spittoon. We’ve actually seen her stumping from the back of pick-up trucks in those god-awful, pastel colored, throw-’em-in-the-washing-machine, never-need-to-iron-or-god-forbid-dry-clean pantsuits. The other day she did the full powder blue: jacket, pants, shirt.

I ask you to envision every corporate or high-level political woman you’ve seen in your lifetime. Has a single one of them dressed like this? The full powder blue or lime or peach?

No, they haven’t.

Well Hillary didn’t either, until Pennsylvania, when she cleaned Obama’s clock among older Catholic women of modest means and their deer-hunting husbands. Clearly, the powder-blue deal is Hillary’s yes-in-fact-we-are-broke-and-bitter sartorial strategy. If looking like a lunch lady turned church lady is what it takes, it’s what she’ll do.

Oh, how it pains me to admit: Sshe’s gotten so much better as a candidate. She goes on Fox with Bill O’Reilly. She giggles and flirts and outsmarts him. Sunday she’s on with little George Stephanopoulos. She turns on the charm. Rush Limbaugh always had a crush on me, she coos.

Yesterday Obama’s on “Today” and calls Matt Lauer “Tim.” Three times. He’s on with Tim Russert Sunday, and I’m screaming at the TV: can you show some heat here, please, a little ol’ inspiration? Where has The Transcendent One gone?

Hillary’s still totally full of it, a pandering pol blowing smoke with this gas tax idea, as if anybody’s gonna’ get Exxon to pay a windfall profit tax. But if she wins in Indiana and North Carolina today, she may pander and pantsuit her way to the White House yet.

Hillary is seen here scarfing a NY “Street Weenie” using the “Lewinsky Method” popularized by her husband and that woman with whom he did not have sex.

I just learned a very valuable lesson. ALWAYS quote enough from a post to provide context when you are replying. Otherwise the post right before your reply might provide it for you.

Girls always look better at closing time. It’s waking up next to one of them in the morning that’s so scary. Take that thought and apply it to Hildabeast. I’m going to have another cup of coffee and try to get that image out of my head.

She does look better. Sounds better, too. Maybe it’s the whiskey.

You didn't see the clip of her ranting and raving against Wall Street then...the droning, nagging mother-in-law tone and bad lighting on her face was not pretty.

I think she was, at one time, married to a Globe guy.
