You’re Norma Desmond. You used to be in silent pictures. You used to be big.

” Alright, Mr. Demille, I’m ready for my close-up…”

Here’s Norma, being directed by faithful Max….

But the number of Americans who even believe this SH*T is unbelievable. We get mad at corporations for advertising on their programs/newspapers, but WHY do they? They get business for it. And why is that? You tell me. Ignorant Americans. No one wants to say it, but it is true.

Ummm, I beg to differ. Hillary exudes a steely toughness, which is very different from any of the male candidates out there, including former candidates like Guiliani. Even W’s faux cowboy swagger and rhetoric is no where close to Hill’s steel. She’s had everything and the kitchen sink thrown at her, and she still manages to stay cool under fire. I still remember how she handled Tweety when he tried to diminish her by touching her cheek. She infantilized him very deftly and then brushed him aside. Contrast this to how Mitt lost his cool when he was challenged by the AP reporter.

Pray tell more about her “crime” of plaguarism.

Hope????HOPE????

WE DON”T NEED HOPE WE NEED HELP!!!

What peggy sasy about a man who is tough….supposedly:

He’s Got Two of ‘Em’: Why I can’t stop being happy about the election result.

Peggy Noonan right after the 2004 election:

“Well, I just can’t stop being happy. I don’t mean elated–it’s hard to get elated by big history, as opposed to by the birth of a baby, say, or a child’s being elected president of the debating club–but I continue to feel relief (the exit poll hives have gone down) and satisfaction (my countrymen, such good sense they have). So let’s just let the mood continue and have fun. […]

I think the people tended toward Mr. Bush because they saw him as a good American man, a man they know–an imperfect one with an imperfect past who turned his life around with grit and grace. That’s a very American story. It’s one we all know, and respect. […]

The American people arguably did not pick the more interesting man in the race. Mr. Kerry strikes me as a complicated and intelligent person, and the one time I spent any time with him he seemed to be bright, and to have an interesting range of thoughts on many issues. Mr. Bush, on the other hand, does not strike me as the most interesting man in the world. That’s one of the things I love about him. I sort of have a theory that Americans don’t necessarily desire terribly interesting men as presidents. “Interesting” tends to bring with it a whole bunch of other attributes–”complicated,” “hard to figure,” “unknowable,” “startling,” even sometimes “tortured and tragic.” A lot of us are Republicans, and we just hate tortured and tragic. […]

About a year ago I was visiting West Point, and I was talking to a big officer, a general or colonel. But he had the medals and ribbons and the stature, and he asked me what I thought of President Bush. I tried to explain what most impressed me about Mr. Bush, and I kept falling back on words like “courage” and “guts.” I wasn’t capturing the special quality Mr. Bush has of making a tough decision and then staying with it if he thinks it’s right and paying the price even when the price is high and–

I stopped speaking for a moment. There was silence. And then the general said, “You mean he’s got two of ‘em.” And I laughed and said yes, that’s exactly what I mean. And the same could be said of Reagan.

when are the clinton bashers going to jump off the GOPer bandwagon and stop?

i get so damned tired of the Obama mantra on AUMF when his senate votes ( you know, the ones that count?) are identical to clintons – or worse from progressive punch vantage point – regarding every iraq vote since he’s been accountable.

do me a favor, okay? stop trying to BULLY folks from supporting a Hillary Clinton campaign. if you only knew how desperate you sound beating that drum.

I’m joking, of course. Any voices Bush hears in his head don’t come from within. No. Between his large ears is an empty plain whose low winds are accompanied only by faint noises of animal itchings and scratchings; and those, the low-wattage Bush brain primitively interprets as the disdainful murmurs of unnamed enemies bent on forcing him to face up to his humiliating absence of authentic personal power.

Back in reality, the only distinct words George Bush hears in his head speak to him directly from an electronic earphone and were penned by a typical Republican speech writer who, like Noonan, consistently mistakes the intense fervor and paranoia of undiagnosed bipolar disease for patriotism.

Hillary’s only crime, if any, is plagiarism.
