hillary: careful or careless?

Quoted comment on HuffPo, re.

SamanthaJaneSalem (posted 05/23/2008 at 17:19:49):

From expressing a window of doubt about whether Obama is a Christian to saying he isn’t winning “hard-working Americans, white Americans” to implying he might be shot like Bobby Kennedy was, Hillary Clinton just isn’t careful enough with her words to be president. Or– worse thought– she is being careful, very careful, and such hideous insinuations are planned.

hillary: now officially beyond the pale

You have to hand it to Hilldog: -

Hillary Clinton’s argument for staying in the race took a disturbing turn today. While meeting with the editorial board of South Dakota’s Sioux Falls Argus-Leader, she raised the specter of Obama’s assassination as a reason to stay in the race:

“My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don’t understand it.”

Man she’s one cold bitch.

clinton speaks

don’t do it hillary, it’s over

HuffPo has an article declaring the Democrat race to be over.

Oh pluuuuueeeeeaazzze let this be so! If the press manage to wrangle one more narrative twist out of this story, I swear, I’l scream and stamp my feet like a school girl. Surely now, with Obama winning so convincingly in North Carolina and Clinton just inching ahead in Indiana, the race is over? However, rather pathetically, Hillary still refuses to be beaten and is committed to dragging this whole sorry affair to the convention.

The Clintons, now with no real mathematical chance of overturning their delegate deficit, are threatening to cause merry-hell by appealing to “super delegates” (like normal delegates, but with flapping capes and special democracy-defying powers) to overturn the results and usher them back into the White House. Hillary is also demanding that disqualified counts, in Florida and Michigan, are considered (I think with such a contentious election, there is merit in this argument - however, rules are rules, so tough-shit Hilldog).

There is no doubt that this painfully long nomination has been a significant toll on Obama. He looks jaded and has been lacking his previous dynamism. But this is understandable, and given a quiet week away with Michelle to recharge his batteries, I’m sure he’ll return stronger than ever. Also, it’s hard, having already stared down the Reverend Wright saga, to see where the GOP salvos will come from. Few people fight as dirty as the Clintons, so Hillary may have already prepared the electorate for the worst of whatever mud can be slung in Obama’s direction. Now I’m sure the Republican’s best muck-rakers will drag up something - that or they’ll make it up, but I can’t see what’s left for McCain to work with.

Do I think Barack Obama will be the next President of the United States?

I’d like to think so, but if there was one GOP’r able to win the election post-Bush, it is John McCain.

hrc: “sleep-deprived”

Oh Sweet Valley High, this is pure gold.

Hillary’s excuse for her bullshit claims that she was sent to Bosnia on security matters and ran from the aeroplane under sniper fire, was that she’s tired. Or “sleep-deprived?” as she puts it. Rather makes her famous 3am ad look a bit daft now, doesn’t it?

Who do you want answering the phone at 3am? Not Hilldog, that’s for sure. She’ll spout any old crock of shit just to get off the phone and back to her beauty sleep. Jeesh.

Anyway, we can safely dismiss this latest “correction” from Mrs. C for what it is: another lie. During this campaign Clinton has proven that she comes from the same fetid swamp as the rest of America’s poisonous political class. She doesn’t represent change. She doesn’t represent hope. Hillary represents everything that makes Washington the cesspool of corruption and villainy that it is.

Andrew Sullivan reproduces this quote from Hillary: -

Occasionally, I am a human being like everybody else… For the first time in 12 or so years I misspoke.

And adds…

Occasionally, I am a human being like everybody else. This is close to clinical delusions of grandeur. Does she really think that most of the time she is above being human? Do you know any human being who hasn’t misspoken in the last twelve years once? Or would ever claim such a thing? I sure couldn’t. And this from a candidate whose most famous campaign ad rests on her ability to make national security judgments at 3 am!

Touché.

hillary! enough!

The New York Times’ David Brooks on Hillary: -

When you step back and think about it, she is amazing. She possesses the audacity of hopelessness.

Why does she go on like this? Does Clinton privately believe that Obama is so incompetent that only she can deliver the policies they both support? Is she simply selfish, and willing to put her party through agony for the sake of her slender chance? Are leading Democrats so narcissistic that they would create bitter stagnation even if they were granted one-party rule?

PAGING HILLARY… It’s not your house anymore. Get over it.

centreright’s attacking hilldog

Not quite sure why CentreRight is attacking Hillary Clinton’s campaign?

It would take some effort to separate her and McCain by anything more than a gnat’s knacker on anything substantial. If Clinton has achieved anything in the last 8-years or so, it’s the knowledge that she’s the safe Centre Right candidate in this election.

Okay, she’s playing to the Democrat crowd on Iraq at the moment, but her previous form suggests that this is merely a calculated - some would say desperate (me included) - attempt to capture the nomination.

Who knows what the Hilldog stands for anymore?
