The no-show manuscript

TRANSLATION:
Fairness? You little people just don't get it. This is no simple second-story thief. This is HILLARY!
Haven't you noticed? She's been preoccupied with serving herself during these challenging times, what with juggling
all while hedging her bets on the war/homeland-security thing, (the primary reason for the delay, BTW It is unwritten HILLARY! policy not to put her stupidity in writing; obviously, we're awaiting the outcome of the war thing in order to demonstrate her "prescience." )
[Nonetheless] the writing is wonderfully revisionist in its scope even as it reprises her victim status; it is intended to lift HILLARY! from toilet to bidet. (VIVE LA FRANCE!) |

Hillary Clinton's equal and inapposite reactions seem to be, at first blush, instances of the immutable First Law of The Betrayed and Humiliated Wife: Outdo the errant hubby's doxy...at all cost.
Thus, Vanity Fair's glamorous Marilyn-Monroe spread of Monica's digitally reduced spread was answered by Vogue's lushly Elizabethan, gauzy-focus, hindquarter-cropped-pleated-and-flounced, Queen-Hillary-for-President cover.
And now we have Hillary Clinton doing a Martha Stewart, who herself, is purported to have been "done" by the aforementioned errant rogue (notwithstanding the plain fact that Martha is more well-known for her tarts than for being one).
Seems Hillary Clinton is now writing a book titled "An Invitation to the White House" in which she will follow the format of the Martha Stewart classic, "Entertaining", claim multifarious Martha-Stewart talents and wrap her indecorous and corrupt, backwoods, backroom style of White House "entertaining" in Martha-Stewart elegance and purity. (NB: Written years before Martha ImPloded.)
"The Clinton White House has been noted for the...innovation of its events," said Carolyn Reidy, president of Simon & Schuster's Trade Division, the book's publisher.
Hillary Clinton's spokeswoman, Marsha Berry, added that the book will focus on how the Clintons have "advanced the availability" of the White House by increasing the number and diversity of people; that it will "highlight the access that the Clintons have given to more people, more types of entertainment..."
It should be emphasized that it was without even a trace of irony or the slightest smirk that both women related the above.
On closer inspection, Hillary Clinton's bizarre behavior is more than simple Ivana Trump-eting. It is vulgar, compulsive, shameless, smarmy, contemptuous, demagogic, megalomaniacal, in-your-face naked clintonism.
It is one thing for the frumpy, chipmunk-cheek, huge-hindquarter fishwife to insinuate her image -- albeit Elizabethan-shrouded and low-res-clouded -- onto the cover of Vogue; but it is quite another for the corrupt harpy to trumpet White House access even as new charges emerge of the clintons' rapes and other predations, of the clintons' corrupt quid-pro-quo arrangements with a menacing and motley assortment of drug dealers, gun runners and nuclear weapons makers.
For Hillary Clinton to vaunt White House access just as the clintons' China treason is becoming increasingly, patently manifest to all requires a certain level of contempt for the people and for the country that is uniquely clinton.
Thank heaven for small favors...
Or as the real Martha Stewart would say, |
HILLARY CLINTON BOOK PAST DUE, PUBLISHER'S ANGST OVER NO MANUSCRIPT, NO TITLE; SENATOR TOOK LARGEST ADVANCE IN HISTORY
Executives at publishing powerhouse SIMON AND SCHUSTER are dismayed over Hillary Clinton's failure to turn in a completed manuscript for her book, due out in August, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
The senator of the Empire State has already received a $2.85055 million cash advance on her memoirs, from a total deal valued at more than $8 million.

"We must be off to the printer next month, but the manuscript isn't in yet!" said one SIMON AND SCHUSTER source last week. "Advance sales are lagging. And there is no title. Without a title it's been difficult to market."
One top source says the situation has not reached a legal concern, rather it is being described as an "annoyance."
The former first lady signed the deal before the 9/11 terror attacks.
One Clinton intimate explains: "In all fairness, she has been preoccupied with serving New York during these challenging times... [But] the writing is wonderful, touching, and will lift Hillary to a new level of respect."

Happily solemn voices are absent from the German public sphere. No longing for fate, no intellectual drumming for the good comrade in arms. During the Gulf War the rhetoric of war, the conjuring up of state pathos, of dignity, of tragedy and of manly maturity was directed against a very powerful peace movement. There is little left now of either of these tendencies. Here and there a little malicious sneering about subdued pacifism or the tough slogan: "We are descending from moral heights." But not even these tones are compromising, because the supporters, as well as the opponents of the intervention are using a crystal-clear normative language.
The pacifist opponents highlight the moral difference between acting and non-acting, and point to the suffering of the civil victims, who have to pay the price of military force, even if it is executed with surgical precision. Their appeal, however, is not directed against the good conscience of hard-bitten realists proclaiming raison détat, but against the legal pacifism of the red-green government. In line with the old democracies, who are influenced much more than we are by a rational natural law tradition, foreign secretary Fischer and defence secretary Scharping are relying on the idea of a domestication by means of human rights of state of nature between states.
This move puts onto the agenda the transformation of international law into a law for world citizens. Legal pacifism wants not just to restrict the latent state of war between sovereign states by means of international law, but also to replace it with a cosmopolitan order based on law. From Kant to Kelsen this tradition also existed in Germany. Today, however, it is for the first time being taken seriously by a German government. Direct membership in an association of world citizens would protect any state citizen against the arbitrary actions of their own governments. The most important consequence of an international law that even bypasses the sovereignty of states is, as can be seen already in the case of Pinochet, the personal liability of leaders and officials for the crimes committed during their state and war service. In Germany, the conviction pacifists on the one hand and the legal pacifists on the other dominate the public debate. Even the "realists" are hiding under the cloak of normative rhetoric. Naturally the statements - pro and con - reflect contrary motives. Those who think in terms of power politics, who mistrust the normative restraint of sovereign state power on principle, find themselves going hand in hand with the pacifists, while the "Atlanticists" - out of sheer faith in the alliance - suppress their anger against people who were not long ago publicly opposing the introduction of Pershing II rockets and against their new official state policy of enthusiasm for human rights. Dregger and Bahr stand alongside Stroebele, while Schäuble and Rühe stand next to Eppler. In short the left government, as well as the priority of normative arguments both help to explain not only the unusual constellation in the opinion-battle, but also the comforting fact that the public debate and mood are not different than in other Western European countries. No Sonderweg, no Sonderbewußtsein (special consciousness). Rather there are lines of disagreement emerging between continental Europeans and Anglo-Saxons, particularly between the ones who want to invite the UN General Secretary to their negotiations and who look for an agreement with Russia, and the hard-liners who trust only in the persuasive ability of their own weapons.
Naturally the United States and the member states of the European Union, who carry the burden of political responsibility, start from a unified position. After the collapse of the talks at Rambouillet the threatened military strikes against Yugoslavia are being carried out with the expressed intention of pushing through a liberal solution for the autonomy of Kosovo within Serbia. Within the framework of traditional international law this action would have counted as an interference in the internal affairs of a sovereign state, i.e. a violation of the principle of non-intervention. Under the premise of human rights policy, this intervention is now to be seen as an armed peace-creating mission, which is authorised by the association of nations (admittedly without a UN mandate). According to this Western interpretation the Kosovo war could turn into a leap from the classical conception of international law for sovereign states towards the cosmopolitan law of a world civil society. This development emerged with the foundation of the UN and was, after stagnation during the Cold War, accelerated by the Gulf War as well as other interventions. Humanitarian interventions since 1945, however, were always executed in the name of the UN and always depended on the formal agreement by the government in question (as long as there was a clearly identifiable and functioning state apparatus). During the Gulf War the Security Council established no flight zones over Iraqi territory and safe havens for Kurdish refugees in northern Iraq and thereby in fact interfered with the internal affairs of a sovereign state. This move, however, was not explicitly justified by reference to the protection of a minority from persecution by its own government. In Resolution 688 of April 1991 the UN justified its actions with reference to the right of intervention that was accorded to the UN "in cases of a threat to international security". Today the situation is a different one. NATO is acting without a mandate from the Security Council, but justifies its intervention as emergency aid to a persecuted ethnic (and religious) minority.
