LBANY, Page Hall Auditorium, SUNY, Wednesday, Nov. 20 -- Facing Hardball's transmuted-by-access softball host, Chris Matthews, and an audience Matthews, in an apparent pre-emptive attempt at absolution disclosed as "all Ds,"[Democrats]...You packed the house," hillary clinton made it clear she will continue to subsist on cozy clintonoid interviews of the Colmes kind. Tickets to the event were limited to University at Albany students with a photo ID and/or independent proof of illegal alien DNC <--> DNA sequencing.
By eschewing the politically obligatory Sunday morning circuit and formidable inquisitors like George Will, hillary clinton only encourages the incipient whispers of ineptitude, depravity, cowardice and failure that fill cloakroom and kitchen, alike. NO MANO A MANO THIS... The much-hyped "college tour" showdown at Albany Downtown was promoted for weeks by Matthews and MSNBC as "a one-on-one with the senator from New York." The show -- and the "senator" -- were not as advertised, however.
Unfortunately for America, the only visible adversary at the SUNY access-journalism extravaganza was a free press. MSNBC trumpeted clinton as Zogby-polled presidential timber: "Always finishes a strong second to Gore," they puffed. (A patent presidential disqualifier if ever there was one, if you ask me.) Notwithstanding this obvious lapse in logic, one wonders where and when Zogby collected his data, According to the most recent relevant poll, which was conducted by the Marist Institute last month -- and according to the results of this month's election, nary a soul wants hillary clinton back in the West Wing.
In her new book, Political Fictions, Joan Didion indicts the fakery of access journalism practiced by vacant politicos like the clintons, whom she sees as "purveyors of fables of their own making, or worse, fables conceived by political strategists with designs on votes, not news." The smartest woman in the world would relish "the raucous give and take of American democracy," as Charles Kuralt once put it. She would not be reduced to packing audiences and.flacking reporters. By continuing to confuse "strident" with "presidential," clinton once again demonstrated the ease with which she fails to exceed minimal performance parameters. Lawless to the core, she managed to turn nature's abhorance of a vacuum on its head, clogging the airwaves with standard-issue clinton claptrap. REVERSIBLE TRANSMUTATIONS... This collegiate meeting of the minds, so to speak, managed to elevate nothing but access journalism, raising it to historic new heights. Not content with this dubious achievement, Chris Matthews decided to become hillary clinton's full-fledged advocate the following day when it became clear that the softball interview did not go quite as planned; clinton's limitless vengeance and limited intellectual dexterity unwittingly, and much to her political disadvantage, reversed the Matthews transmutations: softballs were transformed to hardballs with each clumsy move and cheap shot. OLD SCORES TO SETTLE... No answer exposed clinton's cognitive flat-footedness or her thirst for revenge more than her comment about President Bush's motivation to oust Saddam: " I mean it is clear that a lot of people in this administration have some old scores to settle...with Saddam Hussein." Psychologists call this projection. It is the clintons who know about settling old scores. It is the clintons who only know about settling old scores
Bill Clinton, quoted by George Stephanopoulos, "All Too Human: A Political Education" "A Vast Conspiracy," p. 258, Jeffrey Toobin
WOODWARD WALLOPS CLINTON... Bob Woodward says hillary clinton is wrong. (Meet the Press, 11.24.02) Woodward should know. He is the author of the new bestseller, "Bush at War," which "draws on four hours of interviews with President Bush and quotes 15,000 words from National Security Council and other White House meetings in reconstructing the internal debate that led to U.S. military action in Afghanistan and the decision to aggressively confront" the Iraqi president. Woodward says that Bush's motivation to confront Iraq comes not from revenge but, rather, from lessons learned [lessons learned from CLINTON FAILURES] "I will not wait on events, while dangers gather." [Unlike the clintons,] Bush understands that one must take care of threats early [and has the courage and competence to do so]; Bush understands that given the range of Saddam's psychological disorders, an Iraqi nuclear capacity would change the equation not only for the region but for the world. FOURTH-ESTATE FAILURE... Chris Matthews failed utterly. He had his shot at hillary clinton and avoided asking anything of significance. No questions on the eight years of clinton corruption, on the rapes, on her legitimacy, on HIS legitimacy, on the utter failure of the clintons to confront terrorism, a failure that resulted in 9/11, a failure that threatens our very survival.
Oh yes, he did ask the obligatory "Will you run for president in '04?" question no less than three (3) times as is apparently required for access to hillary clinton. He even threw in serveral instances of the "'08" version for good measure. The question is a variant of the "When did you stop beating your wife?" complex-question type of fallacy. The clinton "infrastructure" requires media myrmidons of the left to ask hillary clinton this question no less than three (3) times per "interview," operating on the theory that the implicit question ("Why in the world would the zipper-hoisted twofer wife of an impeached utter failure ex-president, be qualified to be president anyway?") will be rendered, if not moot, certainly disremembered. A subset of the CLINTON-WAS-AN-UTTER-FAILURE Containment Team Scheme , the clinton "infrastructure" complex-question fallacy scheme is intended to confer legitimacy on an otherwise loony concept: Another clinton--uh--presidency.

Chris, listen carefully. Lies take planning. Only the truth is spontaneous.
This is a picture of the future President of the United States kissing Yassar Arafat's wife after a speech in which the latter accused the Israelis of gassing "Pallestinian" children.
