Mein Gott…A world where the huevos of Hillary–tiny, co-dependent & vastly ambitious–are bigger than those of His Infantile Majesty.

A female who has ho-hummed a husband during his decades of compulsive, countless infidelities(and a rape)has BIGGER ones than The Bamster..!

AAlllliiiiiiicccceeeeeeee…! Bunny Hole ALERT..!

Good grief! Nothing about leg-thrills in the original?

More from Hillary: Clinton said Friday that it's time for the United States to join South American countries in electing female presidents... “I must say, I’m far enough away from my own career in electoral politics that I will not take too much heat for suggesting that these women and societies can teach American voters a thing or two." I have a tendency to assume that Hillary would have done a less bad job in the Oval Office than Obama. That tendency may be unwarranted.

I’m starting to wonder (quite likely delusionally), if she realized her political aspirations were capped below the Presidency and took State Sec out of a sense of duty, or at least pragmatic calculation, rather then as most surmised, a launching pad for 2012. At this point, I don’t think she has an honest shot, no matter her competency. Obama has wrecked the Democratic brand for awhile, quite likely past her shelf life.

The whole haggard appearance and ‘only sane’ vibe I’ve been getting are thin evidence. But still.

gs: I was only speaking of Hillary vis a vis Obama.

1. Perhaps we’re talking past each other, Neo.

Hillary excelled as the power behind Bill Clinton’s throne. Hence, Lady Macbeth.

(Her performances as The Man are less impressive: She failed as the head of the Clinton healthcare plan, and failed as the head of her extremely well positioned 2008 campaign. Her record as Senator was undistinguished, and her Secretarial record is shaping up as undistinguished at best. And she did not make the bold decision to challenge George Bush in 2004. In fact, iirc the betting odds had clearly shifted to Giuliani’s favor when illness forced him to withdraw from the 2000 Senate race.)

2. My hesitation to compare her to Lady Macbeth arose because it’s hard to picture Hillary feeling guilt, even subconsciously.

gs: no, not Lady Macbeth, who was not only an equal co-collaborator but really the power behind the throne. Hillary is much more Obama’s willing victim (unless at some point she actively turns against him and primaries him in 2012)–plus, the soliloquy fit so perfectly.

Hillary declines to be Ophelia?

Lady Macbeth is a more (pant)suitable role.

I was thinking more along the lines of 2 rabid junk yard dogs, but your analogy has more of a multi-cultural flair that will woo the hispanic and asiatic voters.

Just part of my diversity/multicultural sensitivity, Parker. I’m all about that. /g
