Hitch Says No to Hillary


For Sen. Clinton, something is true if it validates the myth of her striving and her "greatness" (her overweening ambition in other words) and only ceases to be true when it no longer serves that limitless purpose.

Also check out this excerpt from Wikipedia that is obviously a description for Hillary but has been mis-entered as one for Miss Piggy:

Miss Piggy began as a minor character in The Muppet Show TV series, but gradually developed into one of the central characters of the show. She is a pig who is convinced she is destined for stardom, and nothing is going to stand in her way. She presents a public face of the soul of feminine charm, but can instantly fly into a violent rage whenever she thinks she's insulted or thwarted. Kermit the Frog has learned this all too well since he is the usual target for her karate chops (she holds a pink belt in Pig Wan Do). When she isn't sending him flying through the air, she is often smothering him in (unwanted) kisses.

Not looking for someone J.C. would vote for. Besides, he'd probably give the presidency to the meek that are tricked into thinking they'll inheret the earth -- clever wording for maintaining the status quo.

I'd rather listen to Ben Franklin or Thomas Paine, and keep on keeping the Republic whole.

VDH takes Hillary's measure.

Ohhh, lots of good one-liners in there. Good piece on Hillary by VDH: Then she claimed ownership of the surge she tried to stop, by boasting that those parochial Iraqis apparently listen to her every word, as Iraqis, the U.S. military, and the enemy all must adjust their strategy to her most current position on the war.

Does bin laden know about Hillary? He better adjust his terror campaign to account for her.

If it came down to picking one of the Dems for president, Obama is the best choice as he's not as entrenched in D.C. as the Clintons or John Edwards.

The Kraut man weighs in on the subject.

I do hope the Republicans can put up a decent candidate (not someone like Bob Dole in 1996 -- what a disaster that was!) I don't think there is much daylight between Obama and Hillary when it comes to ideology (both standard-issue nanny staters). But on a personal level, yes, Obama looks like the more sympathetic figure. But then again, who wouldn't, against the Hill?
