It’s 2:31 AM. The Democratic Party is sleeping peacefully when it hears its phone buzz on the night stand. It rolls over and sees “Hillary” on the caller ID. It pauses briefly, considering pushing “END” and not dealing with this shit tonight. The thought is appealing but the Democratic Party knows that if it doesn’t take this call, another one is only minutes away.
HILLARY Clinton will, like, totally, wipe our Obama, Osama and Iran:
âIFÂ he does not have the gumption to put me in my place, when superdelegates are deserting me, money is drying up, heâs outspending me 2-to-1 on TV ads, my husbandâs going crackers and party leaders are sick of me, how can he be trusted to totally obliterate Iran and stop Osama?â Maureen Dowd in the New York Times
Figure of Speech:dialogismus (dial-o-GIS-mus), the quoting figure.
Itâs overtime again. Obama just canât âclose the deal,â as Clinton triumphantly puts it. Maureen Dowd, the feline columnist for the Times, sums up Hillaryâs argument in a hyperbolic dialogismus, a figure that puts words in another personâs mouth â often in a way that the âquoteeâ wouldnât exactly put herself.
Says Figaro: Do we have to totally obliterate Iran? Canât we just, like, obliterate it?
HILLARY Clinton blasts Bush for not stopping a project her husband approved:
It’s a story Hillary Clinton loves to tell, about how the Chinese government bought a good American company in Indiana, laid off all its workers and moved its critical defense technology work to China.
And it’s a story with a dramatic, political ending. Republican President George W. Bush could have stopped it, but didn’t.
If she were president, she says, she’d fight to protect those jobs. It’s just the kind of talk that’s helping her win support from working-class Democrats worried about jobs and paychecks, not to mention their country’s security.
What Clinton never tells in the oft-repeated tale is the role prominent Democrats played in selling the company and its technology to the Chinese. She never mentions that big-time Democratic contributor George Soros helped put together the deal to sell the company, or that the sale was approved by the administration of her husband.
WANT to know âall the shocking detailsâ about Hillary Clintonâs âLESBIAN SCANDALâ?
The Enquirer has all the details.
The race for the Democratic nomination to be US President is tuning into a minority issue. On the one side is black, mixed-race, Christian, Muslim, elitist, one-legged, part Cherokee Barack Obama and on the other is mum, wife, cuckold, trouser-suit wearer, mountaineer fan, sniper-dodging, nut crushing, shot-putting lactose intolerant Hillary Clinton.
We are only upset that the one-eyed black Jew Sammy Davis Junior did not long enough to see such a show.
AS we know, Chelsea Clinton is not being pimped out for her mother’s career.
Chelsea Clinton stopped traffic Friday night as she wandered the streets of Philadelphia on a gay bar crawl, winning rave reviews for both her politics and her appearance.
Led around the neighborhood by Gov. Ed Rendell, Chelsea was mobbed by local gays and lesbians, as she walked from one club to the next. They ran up to hug her, posed for pictures and certainly invaded her personal space.
What follows reads like a P-Town saucy seaside postcard: Â
“I grabbed her ass,” one young woman exclaimed to her friends after snapping a picture with her arm around the former first daughter.
“Are you going inside?” one woman asked.
“I don’t know,” Chelsea replied. “I’m mostly just following directions.”
HILLARY Clinton says she spent her summers in Scranton Pennsylvania, twinned with Belfast, Rwanda and Bosnia.

Scranton, a town torn by in-fighting and the threat of genocide. Young Hillary arrives…
This is me in Scranton, where my father was raised, and my grandfather worked in the lace mill. Every August, weâd pile into the car and head to our cottage on Lake Winola. There was no heat, or indoor shower-just the joy of family.
We did have a film camera though, a car, a holiday home by a lake and a message of peace for the local warlords…
I was raised on pinochle and the American dream. I still have faith in that dream. Itâs just been neglected a little. We all need to dream it again. And I promise we will.
Iâm Hillary Clinton and I approved this message.
I’m Hillary Clinton standing atop Mount Everest, dodging sniper fire and singing a Rwandan show tune I learnt from a mysterious robed figure who came to me in a vision…
Barack Obama also has a video out. It too features his family. Unlike Clinton’s black-and-white affair, Obama’s family are in full colour…
In Pennsylvania on a bonding mission, Hillary compares herself to Sly Stalloneâs Rocky, specifically the moment when he races up the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Says Hillary: âRocky Balboa had gotten halfway up those art museum steps and said, âWell, I guess thatâs about far enoughâ.
âWhen it comes to finishing a fight Rocky and I have a lot in common. I never give up. I know what itâs like to get knocked down. Iâve never stayed down and never will.â
In the film, Rocky loses to a black boxer with superior showmanshipâŠ
They’ll pick one of their own superdelegates, Al Gore, Mr. Party Elder, Mr. Nobel Prize, Mr.
I-Got-Screwed-Out-of-Victory-Last-Time and Mr.
Trust-Me-the-Globe-Really-Is-Round-and-Warming and I’m finally gonna get a chance to do something about it from the White House. The Draft Gore folks will be ecstatic and the Democratic blogosphere is already excited.
