I suppose I shouldn't have been surprised at the ecstatic media lockstep praising Hillary's so-called concession speech last weekend. This is the same herd of sheep who bleated to Bush's beat and brought us the Iraq fiasco. I first heard the speech on the radio as I was driving back to Philadelphia from a family event in upstate New York. I was shocked and appalled at Hillary's inflammatory demagoguery, which was obviously intended to keep her candidacy alive through the August convention and beyond. The echo in the museum's marble entry hall gave the event an eerily retro quality, as if it were a 1930s fascist rally. Hillary's turgid, preachy rhythms were condescending and manipulative, and her climaxes were ear-splittingly strident. It was pure Evita, a cult of personality masquerading as populism. When I later saw the speech on TV, I was disgusted by how Hillary undercut her insultingly brief endorsement of Obama with a flat expression and cold, dead eyes. The only thing that got her blood racing was the blatantly stoked hysteria of her screeching worshipers.

Hillary's desperate end-game gambit to turn the whole election into a referendum on gender does feminism a serious disservice. It wasn't sexism that cost Hillary the nomination: It was her own misjudgments and mismanagement of a campaign that had the massive support of the nationwide party establishment, constructed by her husband -- to whom she owes her entire career, which has thus far been dismayingly free of any significant, concrete achievement. What kind of feminism is this -- all smiley show and no substance? Hillary's latest pose as tribune of the people is contradicted by her snobbish history of catering to the rich and famous as well as her indifference to the legions of small vendors whom her extravagant campaign has stiffed. And no true feminist would tolerate or enable that decades-long pattern of brazen philandering and crude sexual harassment that will forever brand the Clinton chronicles. When will our paleo-feminist dead-enders wake up to the psychological reality that compulsive seducers are misogynists?

Hillary's authentic contribution to feminism is to have demonstrated for the first time that a woman can win state primaries -- even if she needed her husband's help as well as racially divisive tactics to do so. This welcome development will surely encourage big donors to support future presidential campaigns by women, who (like Elizabeth Dole) were previously forced to drop out early for lack of funding. Obama's meteoric success will also benefit female candidates, who can hope to break out of the pack as suddenly as he did. Past predictors of electoral success have been exploded, and all bets are off.

"It remains debatable whether McCain's traumatic experiences as a prisoner of war have enhanced or distorted his admittedly wide-ranging knowledge of military and security matters. Crystal clear, however, is McCain's startling awkwardness as a public speaker. With stilted, stodgy intonations that seem to descend from the late-19th century era of one-room schoolhouses, McCain laboriously reading a speech is a painful spectacle. After the mumbling, disjointed George W. Bush, doesn't the U.S. deserve a more sophisticated leader on the international stage?"

And of course the White House records show that Hillary was in the White House while Bubba was getting his willie slicked up by Monica. Yet she had the gaul to write a book expressing her shock that he lied to her - I remember a radio station playing the audio version and there's all this feinted emotion in her voice.

That's why I find all these arguments in favor of the Clintons so repulsive. It's always someone else's fault and never any true regret other than getting caught, and even that doesn't seem to faze them beyond the initial moment.

A big fat canole stuffed with narcissism slathered in socipathic tendencies.

Make that "sociopathic"

So tired of this dried up trollop. She was never relevant, and her continued shrill whining does nothing to further anyone's agenda but her own.

She doesn't unload on McCain as much as she unloads on Hillary--

Need another title.

Add "Obama media shill unloads"

I have to disagree with the assessment of Pagila as a "dried up trollop". I have been reading her work since Sexual Personae and have almost always found her observations as being spot on. Her remarks about Senator Clinton continue that record.

Hillary despite her high achievements in school, as an attorney at the Rose Law firm proved to be very average. She does, as Pagila states, owe her career to Bill and his political acumen. Sexism did not lose this race for Hillary, Hillary lost it for Hillary.

Agreed.

Hillary took the collective sympathy she garnered from being continously cuckolded by Bill and parleyed it into a successful Senate bid despite the fact that she and Bill have had the equivilant of an open marriage fer years.

Hillary and Bill are both responsible fer Hillary's loss in that Hillary worked the same pandering LCD old school campaign tactics that John McAncient has made his bread and butter over the years and Bill seemed more full of pique than presidential gravitas, even when he wasn't making untoward remarks towards Obama.

There's a "money shot" joke to be made out of the headline but Spud has eschewed that type of low brow humour fer the nonce.

^_^

Be Well.

"I have to disagree with the assessment of Pagila as a 'dried up trollop'"

Funny, I'd just assumed that was a very apt reference to Hillarious Rotten Klinton. It certainly doesn't apply to Professor Paglia, if that's how it was intended.

"A big fat canole stuffed with narcissism slathered in sociopathic tendencies."

Bill or Hillary?

Hillary is not a trollop, she is more of a virago.

Who in the real World gives a Fuck what this DIKE BITCH, has to say, this bitch is GAY as fuck an yet she is always puting the womens movement down.....FUCK THIS BITCH!!!!!!

Senaor Bill Nelson of Florida for VP. Obama needs Florida if he's going to go anywhere. So, it's Florida or bust!

Celery is fucking crazy!

Talk radio will lose its broad audience if it continues on this nakedly partisan path.

I stopped reading at this line.

What cave has she been hiding in?

so when will someone post the tirade the lady went on about obama last night on hannity. she was a clinton supporter and has as much distain for barrywayne as any from this lady. I guess that isnt news, though even though she has two web sites and a national organization behind her.

Ya, and a body supporting a vagina has a regular show on FOX too/

What's your point?

If BHO picks Nelson then McCain picks Crist and we're bavck to square one.

Spud imagines that Obama's "50 State Strategy" will pay off some unexpected dividends this time around.

Be Well.

I never thought of her as a trollop. Maybe a stupid cunt, but not a trollop

Who is this ASSHOLE bitch and who cares what she says.

Oh it's just someone that WON'T be dating You ozzieswald. That is all.

well then

In keeping with this bunch of losers, if you don't like the message, shoot the messenger.

When are you guys going to learn to discuss and debate like real life adults.

I agree that she is a snotty little dike, but she is often very accurate in her assessment and skilled in her writing of it. Hey, I know, how about if we find someone without an ounce of brains, but looks good, that can tell us the lies and we'll all be happy in our little fairy tale land.

Cause everything on that show is choreographed partisan dung. While we are at it we can start posting all the nonsense that O'Really spews every night. I here it is spot on journalism. He won a Peabody you know.

that is so wrong,at least that you hint that the others arent partisan or choreographed.
do you WATCH fox at all is, of course, the first question I would ask and if you do, do you notice that there is always a voice from the other side.
last sunday for instance on face the nation. the guests were all three democrats. NOT ONE DISSENTING voice the whole show and the left would never call that show partisan.
and orielly ON A REGULAR BASIS slams the bush administration and other republicans. I KNOW because I actually watch it and dont just come up with these things you and others say all the time.
and besides, I read and watch numerous programs from the other side. just last week I watched a couple of programs from democracy now and freepress.net.......two ULTRA leftwing organizations and tried to listen to what they had to say. I disagreed with almost everything they had to say but I didnt talk about them the way the left talks about fox. they are just wrong thats all.
but you see, the difference is I am a conservative and that means that I am too stupid to know that much about anything......

so when will someone post . . .

oh gosh....I am so sorry. I was waiting on someone else to do it for me. you know, give me give me give me.....I guess its just my liberal side coming out in me.

No, BLT, it's your inner let-someone-else-do-it GOPiggy side. Such a whiner.

Oh man it's great to see you finally lose it. It's great to see your true colors.

Hey Buffalo Bob...what was that you said about liberals being capable of discrimination?

BLT,

Ofcourse there are nutty left wing programs and they do the same partisan hackery the right does. You see, my problem with FOXNews is that it is displayed and believed by a large portion of the population to be an independent journalistic news program, when they are nothing of the sort. You know Fair and Balanced. They are a right wing network with the same credibility as, say, Air America.

My ex-Republican friend still to this day claims that they are just being sarcastic when the "Fair and Balanced" motto is proclaimed.

Doc,

Did you forget your meds this morning?

Time for you trolls to leave the basement and look for a job.

Who is this woman and who gives a shit what she says?

Get a freeking life people.
