She's a Reagan ("Reagan" name popularity up; "Hillary" down!)
The Washington Times ^ | July 14, 2003 | John McCaslin (Inside the Beltway)

She's a Reagan


    The most popular names in America? A little research reveals a trend that will make Republicans proud.


    Last year, according to the Social Security Administration, a whopping 24,262 girls were named Emily, while 30,122 boys were named Jacob. But the name "Reagan" is becoming increasingly popular, too — for baby girls.


    The name of the 40th president of the United States has seen steady gains in the past decade. In 1993, for instance, Reagan ranked 998th, when only 202 baby girls were given the name. Last year, 1,603 American girls shared Reagan, making it the nation's 201st most popular name.


    By comparison, just 236 boys last year were named "Clinton," which ranked No. 735, according to the SSA (www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames).


    And while Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's new memoir is a certified million-seller, the New York Democrat's name is not popular with parents nowadays. While "Hillary" ranked No. 261 among girls' names in 1993, a search of last year's top 1,000 ... well, the computer message reads: "The text 'Hillary' was not found."


    Here's how Reagan has grown in popularity:


    1993 ... No. 998


    1994 ... No. 730


    1995 ... No. 595


    1996 ... No. 455


    1997 ... No. 387


    1998 ... No. 328


    1999 ... No. 348


    2000 ... No. 285


    2001 ... No. 223


    2002 ... No. 201


    For what it's worth, "Monica" ranked No. 179 among baby girls' names last year. For some reason, the name fell out of the top 100 after 1998. As recently as 1997, "Monica" was the 77th most popular American baby name.


    Oh, and "John" was the 17th most-popular name for boys last year.

"Hillary" was a boy's name in 1947,
but Mama Rodham supposedly named her little girl
that name anyway.

Surprise. surprise.

Birth-certificate info for Hillary Rodham's
brothers ia considered Top-Secret info, and only Hillary's
"birthdate" is in the public data base!

Is there any reason Mama Rodham would use one of
the brother's birth certificates and say it was Hillary's?

Inquiring minds want to know!!

I really could not care less. But, if it would humiliate and embarrass Her Heinous, then let's find out!

Saddling a child with the hillary or clinton moniker is arguably child abuse...


eyes wide shut

EPILOGUE: (ADDITIONAL AUDIO)
Hear Christopher Shays: "The bottom line: HE DID RAPE BROADDRICK."

When Alex kills a woman during a rape, Alex is sent to prison.
When clinton rapes women, girls, his country and God knows what else. . .
and kills? --- check out those fourscore-plus deaths, please!
And don't forget the wag-the-dog, desperately-seeking-a-legacy bombings,
or the cold-blooded Ricky Ray Rector execution---
not clinton but society is imprisoned,
imprisoned in clinton's
besmirched, semen-stained, feckless presidency.

A risible and repulsive result;
yet not even the punch line.

While Alex is conditioned in prison with aversion therapy,
transmuted into a moral robot who becomes nauseated
by the mere thought of sex and violence,
bill clinton and his Thought Police,
in a perverse reverse aversion,
have conditioned society's collective brain
into not mere acquiescence but twisted admiration.

In the end,
if clinton's arrogant, ruthless, reckless nature is restored to him,
it seems the joke will be on all of us,
for it will be a victory for infinite victimhood and irresponsibility,
for seduction, for violence, for nihilism, for anarchy.

We will have set apart clinton as the hero
by making his victims less human than he;
we will have allowed clinton to carefully estrange us from his victims
so that we can enjoy the rapes and the beatings
as much as clinton himself does.

lol.

Homonymic-ally speaking and down to their purulent discharge, I'd say they're exactly analogous to your brilliant example.
