Hillary Clinton Nails Herself!!
Harry Dope
Hillary Clinton is likely to win the presidency in part because she is
largely immune from attack for her past scandals. Put simply, people are
tired of hearing about all the terrible and sleazy things she's done in her
life. The topic even bores Hillary:
Hillary has more skeletons in her closet than any other candidate on either
side of the aisle. But unlike the scary unknown skeletons in the other
candidates' closets, Hillary's skeletons are familiar, like old friends.
Hillary's skeletons are so well-known, they should have their own nicknames.
Hey look, it's "Whitey," the Whitewater skeleton! Over there is "Pink Slip,"
the Travel Office Firings skeleton - right next to the collection of bones
labeled "Hillarycare." That grinning skull on the shelf? His official name
is "Cattle Futures Skeleton," but he goes by "Hundred Thousand" - the
eye-popping sum of money she made off those trades. It just sounds more
"street." And that bag of bones in the corner is the one formally known as
"Magic Reappearing Rose Law Firm Billing Records Skeleton." Yeah, it's kind
of an awkward name; just call him "Rosie." Everyone else does.
These skeletons may not offend voters . . . but they may bore them. You want
proof? Let me take just a few paragraphs to remind you of the details of the
Whitewater scandal.
I'm just kidding. I'm not really going to do that. But you cringed, didn't
you?
So it's no surprise that, although Hillary's past scandals say much about
her tendency towards dishonesty and abuse of power, nobody seems to care.
Big Media, which in years past had showed at least occasional interest in
these matters, no longer considers them news. For example: the editors of
the Chicago Tribune wrote the following passage in January 1996, about the
Clintons' behavior during the Whitewater scandal:
The legal issues will sort themselves out in time. But one thing has
become all too clear. Bill and Hillary Clinton and their aides have made a
concerted effort to deceive official investigators and the American public
with half truths and outright lies . . . It's not clear what the Clintons
want to conceal, but it's clear that they have made extraordinary efforts to
do so.
That was Then, and this is Now. These days, your average Chicago Tribune
editorial writer won't wear out his typing finger producing an angry screed
about Hillary's past dishonesty. He is more likely to spend his time
churning out an editorial about campaign videos - with praise for Hillary's
little Sopranos spoof. Concerns about Hillary's deception of the American
people now give way to more vital issues, like John Edwards's $400 haircut.
Hillary understands this. Newsweek reported recently about opposition
research into Hillary's past, and noted:
If Clinton is worried about the new dirt-digging efforts, she isn't
showing it. When two much-anticipated biographies dropped into bookstores
last week, her campaign dismissed them as "old news" and "cash for rehash."
That will be her consistent response throughout the campaign - and it will
likely work. Every candidate would love to be able to dismiss their
political baggage with an airy wave of the hand, and a statement about the
need to "move on" to the "real issues" facing the country. But this strategy
is likely to prove particularly effective for Hillary, because people are
just sick of hearing about these scandals.
That's why Hillary is going to win. She's the only candidate whose dirt is
all old news.

Of course they are. However shrill the voice becomes that screams about
all these "terrible and sleazy" things, the argument fails to persuade
when the evidence does not lead to any crime.
Opponents of the Senator from New York seem to be under the delusion
that Mrs. Clinton is a criminal, even a murderer, and further, they
often seem to believe this is some sort of foregone conclusion that
"everybody already knows" and that they need only act on their knowledge
instead of remaining silent accessories to these supposed (but never so
much as alleged) crimes.
Do list Mrs. Clinton's crimes. Make valid arguments based on applicable
law, and be sure that these arguments are specific and focused and
supported by evidence. When you have honed your arguments, present them
to the appropriate authorities, and come back to us with findings of law
and of fact signed by judicial authorities, so that we can believe the
premise insinuated in your clever little piece.

If Hillary and Newt ever both got the nomination of their parties at
the same time, odds are the country would vote third party.

We dems don't have to nomate a popular person, a known person. Right now we
could nominate an old horse and a parrot and win.
All of our ads will be real simple "Were not Bush".
