HILLARY ON THE COUCH
IS MISSUS CLINTON MENTALLY FIT?

utting hillary on the couch seems to be the preoccupation of every armchair shrink extant and no wonder. The clinton psyche is awash with profound and irreversible dysfunction.But it is precisely this teeming derangement that renders such efforts futile; that is to say, the very pervasiveness of clinton dysfunction is what precludes ever making a differential diagnosis in the first place.
No matter. To categorize clinton dysfunction is almost beside the point. Anyone still sentient after 14-to-15 years of clinton exposure already knows the clintons are mentally unfit; and this is all we really need to know as they position themselves for their final assault.
We come to bury the clintons, not to cure them.... which brings us to the rape of Juanita Broaddrick.1
Mentally fit people do not rape. And either the clintons raped Juanita Broaddrick or they did not.2
And with all due respect to Susan Estrich, the statute of limitations here is irrelevant.3 This is not about taking away the clintons' liberty. This is about taking away their license.
"When liberty becomes license, dictatorship is near." (Will Durant)
... While America appears not to be ready for a female president under any circumstances, the post-9/11 realities pose special problems for a female presidential candidate. Add to these the problems unique to missus clinton. The reviews make the mistake of focusing on the problems of the generic female presidential candidate running during ordinary times.These are not ordinary times. America is waging the global War on Terror; the uncharted territory of asymmetric netherworlds is the battlefield; the enemy is brutal, subhuman; the threat of global conflagration is real.
Defeating the enemy isn't sufficient. For America to prevail, she must also defeat a retrograde, misogynous mindset. To successfully prosecute the War on Terror, it is essential that the collective patriarchal islamic culture perceives America as politically and militarily strong. Condi Rice excepted, this requirement presents an insurmountable hurdle for any female presidential candidate, and especially missus clinton, historically antimilitary--(an image, incidentally, that is only enhanced today by her clumsy, termagant parody of Thatcher), forever the pitiful victim, and, according to Dick Morris, "the biggest dove in the clinton administration."
It is ironic that had the clintons not failed utterly to fight terrorism... not failed to take bin Laden from Sudan... not failed repeatedly to decapitate a nascent, still stoppable al Qaeda... the generic female president as a construct would still be viable... missus clinton's obstacles would be limited largely to standard-issue clintonisms: corruption, abuse, malpractice, malfeasance, megalomania, rape and treason... and, in spite of Juanita Broaddrick, or perhaps because of her, Rod Lurie would be reduced to perversely hawking the "First Gentleman" instead of the "Commander-in-Chief."
