OMG, this is a satire right?

Yes, it is satire. But satire with a point.

As usual, Mr. Poe, very well parsed.

They might note, for instance, that the last Clinton administration sicced the Federal Communications Commission on Murdoch, nearly putting his Fox Network out of business. At age 77, Murdoch may no longer have the stomach for that sort of fight.

Very possible.

The above analysis suggests that Hillary Clinton is very adept at playing the margins and on her own terms. While reading it, Livia (Claudius' grandmother) kept ringing through my mind. The ruthlessness by which Livia's beliefs and willingness and adeptness in employing ANY means by which to see Rome going as she thought it should - is best explained, IMHO by this passage at Wiki:

With time, however, and widowhood, a haughtiness and an overt craving for power and the outward trappings of status came increasingly to the fore. Livia had always been a principal beneficiary of the climate of adulation that Augustus had done so much to create, and which Tiberius despised ("a strong contempt for honours",)..."

The culture of "adulation" is strong in this current age.

Again, from Wiki:

Becoming more than the "beautiful woman" she is described as in ancient texts, Livia serves as a public image for the idealization of Roman feminine qualities, a motherly figure, and eventually a goddess like representation that alludes to her virtue. Livia's power in symbolizing the renewal of the Republic with the female virtues Pietas and Concordia in public displays had a dramatic effect on the visual representation of future imperial women as ideal, honorable mothers and wives of Rome. [4]"

Yes, I think Mr. Poe's analysis of "why" best serves to explain.

Big money guys like Murdoch and Scaife don't like fights with the government. The Clintons played "punch and burp" with them. Sort of like "good cop/bad cop." It is in their interest to become friendly with the Clintons so they do. They are conservatives of convenience, not crusaders. Brock of course flipped because he got a new "partner" who was liberal, so he became a liberal. As far as fag hags go, Hillary takes the cake.

From link: Hillary Sex Goddess by Margaret Carlson, Time Magazine, March 1992:

"All the men I know want to sleep with her. All the women want to scratch her eyes out."

One has to consider the source of this quote - Anne Reingold, media director of the Democratic National Committee.

Most the men and women Anne Reingold knows, are most likely Democrats.

So, Democrat women want to scratch Hillary's eyes out, and Democrat men want to sleep with Hillary.

Sounds like Democrat party members are living in pure hell with each other.

I'm not a Democrat. I've never wished to scratch her eyes out and no man I know, including Democrat men, wish to sleep with her.

So, obviously, this "thing" about Hillary exists for those who strive for power, and sex is to them a power thing.

Question: Would Democrat males rape her if they thought they could get away with it? Would Democrat females slash her if they thought they could get away with it?

NARAL and gender feminists have endorsed Obama. Maybe this is whom Reingold knows, and is supplying the quote about.

I've seen few known feminists supporting Hillary's campaign.

The Democrat males I've seen endorsing and supporting Hillary? Are all in position of Democrat power, currently. Governors, mayors....

So it is quite possible Reingolde is correct in so far as she is discussing the people she knows -- Democrats.

But contrariwise, this suggests Hillary IS a gender feminists given her "talents" for wanting to scratch the eyes out of conservatives, and wanting to sleep with them or screw them.

In which case, I have no problems understanding Scaife and Murdoch saying simply: no thanks, I'll step right out of your way.

Now I understand Hillary's recent "brushing up against" Rush, better.

Yet, when Brock trained his sights on Hillary, he suddenly went soft.

There’s a world of comments to be spun from that remark. I’d better pass or be kicked off FR.

Thanks Richard, this answers an important question:
Fox News has become Hillary's favorite network. Her campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe praised Fox in a May 13 interview on Fox & Friends. McAuliffe complained that "90 percent" of mainstream media favored Obama. By contrast, he noted gratefully, "Fox has been one of the most responsible in this presidential campaign"... the last Clinton administration sicced the Federal Communications Commission on Murdoch, nearly putting his Fox Network out of business. At age 77, Murdoch may no longer have the stomach for that sort of fight.
