That is such an excellent, insightful article. Noonan at her finest....
Noonan: "On immigration she has begun talking tough on border security, accusing the administration of not spending enough, employing enough people, using the best technology. She recently called herself "adamantly against illegal immigrants," by which she no doubt meant illegal immigration, and has been inching toward support for a national ID card... So she is tough where Mr. Compassionate Conservative is soft (immigration), or is vulnerable, after a coming attack, to charges that he was soft (homeland security)."
Noonan on GOP bench: "They've got a deep bench and a big fight coming. Alphabetically the list so far can be considered to include George Allen, Bill Frist, Rudy Giuliani, Chuck Hagel, John McCain, Bill Owens, George Pataki, Mitt Romney, and beyond that any number of potential surprise guests from Tommy Thompson to Colin Powell to Mrs. Hutchison"
Where are the conservatives on this list, beyond Owens?
Right-o. I sent this to about 20 people on my email list with the caveat to read the last paragraph. That "deep bench" is deep in one thing: bovine excreta.
Is there no rule about pics for Peggy?
Hillary invites this sort of thing. Her candidacy will be a rollicking good time for the Right.
bttt
Hillary always reminds me of Queen Jezebel in the Old Testament, Ahab's wife.
She was so sure that Elijah would die at her hands, and he was scared since she had power and was truly evil.
And yet, by the time the dogs were through with her there wasn't enough of her left "to do" anything.
Totally agree!
She has guile?! Nope! That's what Slick brought to the partnership. Hillary is given to verbal gaffes like (off the top of my head) "I'm not some little woman baking cookies and standing by her man" -- or -- (During the Healthcare debate) "I can't be held responsible for every undercapitalized business". These gaffes are too obvious to be ignored, and they give you a vivid glimpse into her real agenda. Notice I didn't say "soul" since I believe she has none. This woman has no "guile" she's been living off the generous publicity handouts from the MSM.
The comparison with Jezabel is a good one. Jezabel's way of handling Naboth (I Kings 21) is a lot like the Hildabeast's handling of Billy Dale and Ken Starr.
Underestimate this fascist at your peril.
If you think the MSM, who's support is said to be worth at least 10% of the vote, is going to hold her feet to the fire, you are wrong. She is a clear and present danger to life as we know it in these United States.
Maybe, but she may have learned something in the last 11-12 years.
It doesn't matter how phony she is. The RAT base and voter fraud will be there for her. I think she is better than even money to be the next president. The RATS were within 120,000 votes in Ohio of making a man the commander in chief who should have been tried for treason. The DemocRATS would elect a convicted child molestor or she gave them what they want.
My comment was limited to whether Hillary possessed "guile". IMHO, she has none, and furthermore "guile" is not something that can be learned -- at least not at her age.
She'll run for President. She'll continue to make gaffes & mistakes. And the MSM will strain itself covering for them. But will it matter given the decline in credibility of the MSM? They couldn't save Kerry. I just don't know.
Sure, I see your point and hope you're correct. But, she's tricky and slick.
