Monster-Bitch Hillary Also Guts Fish

Hillary Clinton suffered a near-death experience over the last month but now has a faint pulse with slow blood flow after winning primary elections in Ohio, Texas, and Rhode Island. With Barack Obama suddenly sinking into the stormy seas of real politics instead of walking on water with the gods and ruling Never-Never Land and the Land of Oz, she may just regain her political health.  No doubt she was nearly decimated by Obama BS and the rapture of the young.
Actually, if Barack could learn to speed-read political history with one eye on one page and one eye on the next (as one “idiot” savant can do) he might absorb enough in the next few months to give Hillary a good run. The nomination is certainly still up for grabs, but he has an awful lot to learn in a short time.

Over 25 years ago I listened to Hillary Clinton speak for one hour on the floor of the Arkansas Legislature about the many failures of the Arkansas education system and her remedies for the situation. I realized then that this is one determined, smart broad.  She spoke in concise sentences, succinct paragraphs, and without notes.  This is a woman with a well-organized mind who can lay out complex details in easily understandable English. Her speeches are filled with facts, details, planning, and judgments.

Although not from a wealthy Chicago family, Hillary attended elite Wellesley College because of its academic reputation—and in fact she garnered some good scholarship money. She performed so well she was elected president of the senior class and was the first student to be chosen to give the commencement address at graduation.

But chief among the things that have made me an admirer of hers is the fact that we have had similar experiences with fish. I have cleaned thousands of fish over the years caught by seven children and eight grandchildren. In order to make money to attend Wellesley, Hillary spent one summer working in an Alaskan salmon canning factory “sliming” fish; that is, wearing knee-high boots and standing in bloody water while “spooning” guts out of the bellies of salmon. It takes human guts to survive that job. I wonder how many other first ladies have worked their way through college by gutting fish? Martha had a slave to gut fish. Eleanore and Mrs. Hoover had servants and cooks to gut fish.  Do you think Sally Hemmings—slave, concubine, sex partner and object—gutted fish after she got out of Thomas Jefferson’s bed in the morning?  Whatever.

What’s The Difference Between Rioting And Voting?

  One of my favorite philosophers C. Northcote Parkinson described democratic voting this way: “Voting is a more orderly process than rioting, but has only an even chance of producing the right answer.”  I thought of this statement when former Obama public policy advisor Samantha Power ran off at the mouth during a London interview and not only called Hillary “a desperate candidate” who “stooped to anything” but also “a monster.”

  Three female monsters come immediately to mind: Grendel, Lucretia Borgia, and Joan Rivers, but Hillary? An innocent might think that Harvard Professor Power with a doctorate in public policy would have more restraint and be smarter than that, but I have had the displeasure of working with some Harvard professors in the field of education, including humanities and political TV pundit-guru Bill Bennett, who used to make a more honest living working with our TV president Ronald Reagan. Arrogance is his middle name.

  And then we have that genteel Southern lady at a John McCain rally in South Carolina who asked him, “What do we have to do to beat the bitch?”  Let’s see. How did Hillary acquire such a name?  Rumors have it that she and Bill killed 39 people on their way to the White House. Just ask the Reverend Jerry Falwell when you get to Hell. After all, she married that piece of white trash who was raised by a single mother who played the horses when she wasn’t running around with other white trash. The Clintons also lost $40,000 in an Arkansas Whitewater investment but it took Ken Starr $70 million to discover they were innocent of any wrongdoing—except Bill lying about sex.  My God, nobody lies about sex! It was a terrific political image when the House Republican impeachment team led by the sanctimonious hypocrite Henry Hyde (who made the beast-with-two-backs with someone not his wife when he was in his 40’s) goose-stepped their way to the Senate chambers to announce their decision.

Did Slick And the Monster-Bitch Trash The White House?

  It was also rumored that Hillary and Bill stole all kinds of furniture and “stuff” from the White House when they moved out and that their staff trashed the place. That rumor is still floating around in the little minds of the haters. Truth be known, the Bush administration General Accounting Office (GAO) investigated the charges and found that no furniture was stolen and that the damages were the result of years of wear and tear on carpets, equipment, and furniture. Some pranksters did remove the “W” from some keyboards.  Big deal.
The GAO also concluded that the damages were not excessive and were often less than when other administrations left office.

My Republican Census Number Is 1892-0882-559602793

  For a while I was wondering how I ended up being a representative of all Republicans in my voting district when I got a Republican Party Census Document Form RNC-2008 in the mail. This form is “to help ensure that Democrats don’t take absolute control of Washington.”  I think this is how it happened. I’ve been a closet member of the Christian Coalition for years so I could get their newsletters. I wanted to see if they ever used the words “poor”, “poverty”, or “middle class” in any of their materials instead of “cutting taxes” and “activist judges.”

I’m also on the mailing list of the Minnesota Taxpayers Association, an organization dominated by millionaires and billionaires living in the rich suburbs of the Twin Cities.  This is the radical bunch that keeps empty-suit “Toolittle” Pawlenty in power. His only interest is getting elected to something. It is my fervent hope that McCain picks “Toolittle” as his vice-presidential candidate so he stays out of Minnesota for at least a short time. Hasn’t it been quiet in Minnesota since Michele Bachmann got elected to Washington?

  The Republicans state that the “2008 election is critical to our nation’s future.” Then the funny statements follow: “Either a Democrat will become president—and with the full compliance of a large liberal majority in Congress—raise your taxes, pack the judiciary with left-wing activist judges, gut our military and intelligence services, ignore the problems of illegal immigration, expand the federal government’s power and influence, and staff every federal agency and bureaucracy with cronies, Big Labor bosses and radical environmentalists…this is a battle about who will control America for the next generation or more…”

  I wonder if the Republicans remember such conservative “cronies” as “Heckuva Job” Brownie, “The best secretary of defense in history” Donald Rumsfeld, Jailbird Scooter Libby, and the famous Iraq war planners Wolfowitz, Perle, Feith, and Franks.  Remember when that great World Banker Wolfowitz told Congress the Iraq War would be paid for by Iraqi oil? We are now spending $16 billion a month on the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars while losing both. Experts have now raised their conservative estimates for the total cost of the wars to over $3 trillion if we continue losing.  Winning will cost us much more. But why not keep our troops in Iraq for 100 years?

  The Census Document had 25 leading questions. I will repeat only one: “Should Republicans do everything they can to prevent liberal Democrats from repealing the USA Patriot Act and other important laws that help our intelligence agencies protect America?”  I think the fundraisers who actually sent the forms might get a shock when they tabulate my “No.”

  I see our hero of the battle of the Rio Grande has vetoed the law which would prevent the CIA from using waterboarding and other torture in interrogating prisoners and “noncombatants.”  I remember as a Marine Corps officer I was required to lecture and teach all members of my command the rules of the Geneva Convention governing warfare at least once a year. All of the rules made sense then and are particularly important in today’s world when we are fighting for the hearts and minds of moderates in different societies. Waterboarding may subdue the body but the practice cannot win the heart and mind.
