Luv it. Thanx for the flag. ;)
 
Below, an excerpt from that recent post about the fakery of access journalism practiced by vacant politico like BOTH clintons. (Let us not forget--HE submitted to adversarial questioning only when under subpoena or virtual indictment.)
 
The link below should get you there.
hillary's head revisited:
hillary clinton's brain (such as it is) II
 by Mia T

The smartest woman in the world would relish "the raucous give and take of American democracy, " as Charles Kuralt once put it.

hillary clinton, by contrast, subsists on cozy clintonoid interviews of the Colmes kind...

In her new book, Political Fictions, Joan Didion indicts the fakery of access journalism practiced by vacant politicos like clinton, whom she sees as "purveyors of fables of their own making, or worse, fables conceived by political strategists with designs on votes, not news."

(Didion on clinton (bill, that is): "No one who ever passed through an American public high school could have watched William Jefferson Clinton running for office in 1992 and failed to recognize the familiar predatory sexuality of the provincial adolescent.")

(And Bob Woodward: His accomplishment, she says, is to have produced "books in which measurable cerebral activity is virtually absent.")

Miss Hillary. . . strikes me as one of those innumerable people whose prose is so dull that they are reduced to using equally prosaic cusswords.

John Podhoretz recently asked, "Whence comes hillary clinton's reputation for brilliance?" For the answer, he intuitively, rather brilliantly in fact, looked to her anatomy and noted,"This isn't the first time she's shot herself in the foot."
 
...The above anatomical analysis supports the Podhoretz thesis. Notwithstanding The Pod's erroneous conclusions concerning HILLARY! clinton's heart and nerve, he basically has it right. Anatomy is destiny.
 
Ian Hunter recently observed that our leaders are shrinking. "From a Churchill (or, for that matter, a Margaret Thatcher) to a Tony Blair; from Eisenhower to Clinton; from Diefenbaker to Joe Clark; from Trudeau to Chretien -- we seem destined to be governed by pygmies."
 
...The clintons' fundamental error: They are too arrogant and dim-witted to understand that the demagogic process in this fiberoptic age isn't about counting spun heads; it's about not discounting circumambient brains...

"Hillary's people are very bright," said a well-connected Democrat yesterday. "But they think everybody else is stupid."

hillary's typo

"Hillary thinks that Tipper is an unintellectual nice lady who doesn't have a brain in her head"...

BIG CHILL FOR TIPPER & HILL

 

Talk about the pot calling the kettle empty...

To paraphrase Abe Lincoln and Adlai Stevenson: hillary clinton can compress the most words into the smallest idea of any numskull I know....In America, anybody can be first spouse. That's one of the risks you take.

Mia-YOU KNOCK ME OUT! Even when I have read your collections and reflections and artistic, comical renderings (which hold that terrible sting of truth), I have to read um again and again....thanks for replying with the information, I think I'm gonna try and preview, perhaps buy the book. I think it may relate into words the thoughts I have so often had about the press/relationship with the clintons. It not only leaves me cold, it scares me.

And the above article-from the Boston Herald-is a gem of a gem. Every line is worth quoting. Over and over.
