We had a co-president during the Clinton reign who was dubbed "The Smartest Woman in the World." No, it wasn't Bill; although considered intelligent, Bill didn't benefit from the application of that superlative.
Truth be known, Hillary Clinton's intellect was always over-estimated. If you want insight into her brainpower, you can ask the Clintons' erstwhile right-hand man Dick Morris. He'll tell you that she could double her I.Q. with one serving of fish. Well, actually, I say that, but he will certainly characterize her in none too flattering terms.
But I'll tell you what characterizes her intellect better than most anything else. There has been a lot of talk about how she damaged herself in the last Democrat debate, and her waffling on the subject of driver's licenses for illegal aliens especially stood out. She seemed to be for it; she "understood" it; being asked about it was "gotcha politics"; then, later, she seemed to be ... oh, my head is spinning.
Now, some have mentioned that she was obviously unprepared for the question. Unprepared? It was a no-brainer, meaning, even Lady MacBeth should have been able to answer it. But, OK, the informed among us know that she's at heart a socialist and is more than happy to facilitate illegal immigration. However, she's also a calculating political operator who is willing to say whatever she must to curry favor with the sheeple.
So here's my question: How is it that the smartest woman in the world couldn't figure out that 70 to 80 percent of the electorate (including most Democrats) recoil at the idea of giving invaders driver's licenses? It was a simple calculation. And she is so far ahead in the polls tracking the race for the Democrat nomination that she didn't have to worry about her hold on the radical left. All she had to do was boldly and unabashedly come out against such measures and she would have won hearts and minds in middle America. It would have helped her during the general election (assuming she wins the nomination) and would have even won over some Democrats who are currently supporting the other pretenders.
Anyway, if Hillary Clinton couldn't figure this out, how is she going to be able to figure out a way to combat Islamic jihad?
The smartest woman in the world? It's an insult to women everywhere.
Very true. Deviousness and raw ambition can hide behind lack of political acumen. Republicans get fooled by people like this because they are unable or unwilling to make themselves think like a Clinton.
I hope you're right, but I worry about the effect of the Oprahization of America.
I 2nd your tag line.
It tells us she is a liar when she confabulates about the Bent Ones' known misbehavior and then goes on tour to rehabilitate and remold the publics' mind about adultery.
It tells us she thinks we are all a bunch of stupid people she thinks she can repeat a lie enough to delude us into belief of a fiction.
It tells us she is either delusional and believes the unbelievable or, she believes her persuasive abilities supercedes credulity.
It tells us her lust for power is beyond anything reason should allow a person to accord himself/herself in the realm of acquiring authority.
It tells us her hubris is beyond even Bills. While dozens of first hand witnesses have written about her temperment and statements such has, "F****ng Jew B****rd", or ".....I want tha F***ng flag up, every, F****ng morning, when the F***ing sun comes up...", or "You will pick up those F***ng bags if you want to stay on this F****ng detail"....and so on and so on, she acts wounded when Edwards states the obvious. Though the MSM (Rick Sanchez) gets excited about an old woman who asks McCane how we beat the bitch, no one has ever asked one sinle question about these outburst by Hittlery, which have been thoroughly documented.
The exaltation of Hillary is a shame to the MSM who are defined by their chosen leadership.....Hillary.
Who believes that combating Jihad is even a thought in her head? Why would she turn on her allies?
*******
The only way to the next campaign stop was a non-sked mail run charter flight with limited passenger seats...
The old 4-motor prop job needed some paint; but she had made the 300-mile run every afternoon for years...
So the crew advised the four passengers to strap in for taxi & take-off...
First -- of course -- there was Shrillary... the "smartest woman in the world"...
Next -- a world reknown microbiologist on a world tour fund-raising for his research into a complete cure for e.coli, hantavirus, and HIV...
The other two seats were taken by:
A newly minted young Eagle Scout....
And a retired minister on a book tour.
Right after level-off... one of the starboard engines began to sputter and backfire....
As the crew followed their procedures the prop feathered and spun to a stop....
The pilot came over the intercom acknowledging the mechanical problem--
....But reassuring all onboard that the plane could fly just fine on three engines... albeit at a slower airspeed.
The only real effect was a few minutes added to the flight time.
Not long after... another engine began to sputter and backfire...
And the same inflight procedures brought the same result....
Now their were two engines turning... and two props standing still...
The crew made the announcement that advised the passengers that the flight would divert to an alternate airport... as a a safety precaution.
During the initial slow descent.... a third engine malfunctioned with a big shudder and extraordinary vibrations began to shake the fuselage...
The captain announced quickly that the plane could no longer sustain altitude and they would not be able make the alternate field to attempt an emergency landing...
The voice boomed over the intercom:
"There are emergency parachutes in the rear storage compartment.
Your flight crew is now bailing out by the captain's orders....
"Bail out... Bail out... Bail out"....
...was the last these four frightened passengers heard from the pilots....
The micro-biologist was the first one to open the storage locker...
ONLY to discover there were only THREE parachutes their.... for four passengers....
The doctor announced:
" My mind possesses the cure for several major incurable diseases ---
The world needs my knowledge and expertise to defeat these population killers....
... And he strapped on the first 'chute and jumped out the side door...
Shrillary strode back to the locker -- and simply declared:
I am the smartest woman in the world...
I will soon be the leader of the free world...
The global community needs my leadership!!
And she strapped on the second 'chute and jumped out....
The old priest and the Eagle Scout stood staring at the open door as the plane descended slowly and continued to shake and shudder...
The preacher smiled at the young man:
Son...
I have enjoyed a long and rich life....
Filled with God's blessings and many friends...
I am not afraid to meet my Maker...
I look forward to my Heavenly reward...
You go ahead and take the third parachute and jump to safety--
Your life is still ahead of you....
Go on now... make your jump!
The young man looked the selfless and kind old gentleman right in the eyes... noticing the tears welling up in his aging eyes....
Don't be silly,Padre...
Put that other 'chute on and we'll jump together...
THE SMARTEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD JUST JUMPED OUT OF THE PLANE WITH MY KNAPSACK AND SLEEPING BAG!!
OUCH !!!
Good post
You noticed, I am sure, that Clintonics, Inc. got control of the Debates right after the little faux pas with the DLs for illegals. They will also try for control of the real debates between Mrs. Bill and the Republican. I expect they will succeed to some extent.
What can we expect if Mrs. Bill wins the nomination and loses the election by 1 or 2 % just to see what the Clintons will come up with. It will be entertaining but I also fear it will be dangerous for individuals and for the country.
I would hope the appropriate agencies are prepared for whatever comes down but I fear that those appropriate agencies are still riddled with Clinton holdovers that the present administration has pointedly NOT cleaned out. In a close loss there are things that the history of the Clintons suggest could/would be done that are simple to do and would reverse the election. There are not enough Secret Service people to protect against all even obvious possibilities.
Good damn point.
Not since Jimmuh Peanut brain Carter have the dRATS won a National election.
The future of the dRAT party is securing the votes of illegal aliens and Jihadists.
Huma Abedin & Hillary Clinton - Abedin Family Ties to Al-Qaeda
Huma Abedin & Hillary Clinton - Who is Funding Huma Abedin's Lifestyle?
The way to put paid to all the nonsensical denial of the fact that the Harry Reid Democrats' announcements of our defeat in Iraq is quite simple: just demand that if they believe that, the Democrats must prove it by announcing repeatedly that the Republicans are going to sweep the elections in November 2008. They will never do that because the idea that public predictions have not self-fulfilling effect is the very last thing that they believe.
I believe it was this, and here's why. The Clintons are SO used to parsing. Hillary's NON-answer was deliberately misleading - weasel words. Very lawyerly in fact, which was her kneejerk response on how to handle this. Her mistake was in not paying attention to the poll numbers on this issue, which was probably a first for the Clintons.
Obama is glib, though. He talks really “smooth” and can fool the best of them. It’d be really interesting to see how he’d respond with some really tough questions right at him.
I’ll bet if she loses, that it will be hell in the senate because she’ll then try to oust Harry from his job so she can retain some semblance of importance. Either that, or she’ll miss plenty of senate sessions and drink herself into oblivion. Either way, I’d dearly love to watch THIS outcome because if she wins, the rest of US will be drinking OURSELVES into oblivion.
She must be Brilliant!
But she stopped !!
ML/NJ
Lots of rumors about that pair.
Huma Abedin and the Beast being a ‘pair’ so to speak.
Amazing how her looks swing between late forty to mid sixties.
She drinks blood ?
Rush: She is a BAD candidate and she knows it!
