October 20, 2006A dancing round-upPeggy Noonan writes that the fun dance has gone out of politics - I’ll say it has. I read her piece and thought of Bobby Kennedy’s abilities, and how no one on the scene today can come near them. Read her good piece today. I especially love this part: A hunch. Hillary is just waiting for someone to ask her about the diamond cross so she can shyly respond, ‘Lord, it’s glass, actually.’ Her office will elaborate: It was given to her by a little girl in Poughkeepsie, to remind her of what’s important. Hillary promised to wear it every day. Then she promised a dying boy she’d hit a home run for him, while wearing her Yankees hat. Freaking Hillary and her freaking Yankee hat. She hasn’t been to the stadium to see a game once…and I’m convinced that as long as she is our senator and A-Rod is still around, we’ll never make it to the World Series again…but I digress. I have to go to an afternoon wedding in the pouring rain, and there will be dancing later, but in the meantime, as Noonan decries the lack of dancing, let’s whorl around the ‘net. Let me say the scenario of a President Pelosi is balderdash. Hillary would never in a million years allow some other, lesser, female to wear the mantel of First Female President of the United States, a crown to which she clearly feels entitled, and for which she has been prepped and polished for decades, literally decades (never forget, when Johnny Carson lived in the UN Building and broadcasted from NYC, Hillary - an unremarkale and at the time not terribly photogenic feminist saying rather unremarkable things - was one of Carson’s “featured” guests, or that she was covered ‘way back then in Life magazine. Someone has loved Hillary for a very long time and worked very hard to get her within grasp of the FFPOTUS seat…) So, you may actually use the Pelosi scenario as a good indicator of what the Dems intend to do. If they take over the house and Pelosi stays, impeachment is unlikely. If she is ousted and another - male, btw - is named Speaker…all systems go for impeachment. But CBS’ Dick Meyer doesn’t think this is a particularly important election. Read his piece. I think he’s assuming a bit but I haven’t time to write on it, because I must go wash away the grey for this silly wedding. Jonah Goldberg says Iraq was a noble mistake and he offers a “third way” out. Have you been paying attention to what bills the Dems have been trying to pass this year? Dr. Sanity says the manipulation of news has gone into hyperdrive. She’s correct. The Democrats will use Moderation if they take the House! Har-har…my sides hurt. Pick Me, I’ll Call Bush A Nazi! - Brian Montopoli at CBS’ Public Eye appreciates a piece at the WSJ. Koboyashi Maru has invisibility cloakitis, and I’m longing for the next Harry Potter book, myself. A Snarky Bastard is celebrating the Cardinals. Okay, so no NY team makes it to the WS this year. The Tigers are going to eat the Cardinals for breakfast. A sweep in four, says I! Siggy is using sports to discuss a much more important issue. Confederate Yankee is Powerline’s Blog of the Week, and I can say from experience, being the P BoftW is a very good thing. Congrats! My dancing shoes. I’ve long since given up on trying to dance in four-inch heels (and being short, four-inch heels have played a large role in my life, before the knees went arthritic) and yesterday I found the coolest shoes in the world, which I am going to wear on the dancefloor tonight - they’re Mary Janes, by Pony.
Yes. They’re kind of sneakers. But in black, in a dark room, on a dancefloor? I think they’ll work out just fine, indeed! http://theanchoressonline.com/2006/10/20/a-dancing-round-up/trackback/ 18 Responses to “A dancing round-up” |

And I won’t be hobbling like a “poor-cripple” in a Dickens novel, tomorrow.

Thank you for the link!
Shoes, my second-favorite subject (after Bryn)!. For dancing I prefer a non-slippery but smooth sole. Have you tried something like these with Dr Scholl’s memory fit insoles?
(I own and wear both. I also own Coach stock)

Lovely shoes!
I’m glad to know you don’t wear clogs of the wooden or any other variety.
Still, there is something about a woman in 4 inche heels, wearing leather, with a riding crop, whispering sweet commands with a thick Prussian accent, with one fish net panty-hosed heeled leg perched up an chair with a wicker seat and the other firmly entagled in a chain…
Never mind.

one fish net panty-hosed heeled leg
You probably mean fish net stockings.

You people are starting to scare me.
October 20th, 2006 at 11:55 am
Scary, moi?
October 20th, 2006 at 12:28 pm
Scary Siggy. Here I thought he’d want to waltz with me, and instead he wants fish net stockings and a feather boa. Why do I think a small pipe or cigar is also part of his fantasy?
October 20th, 2006 at 2:59 pm
There is nothing small about my pipe or cigar.
Feel free not to post this comment. There is only so much joy people can stand.

The Mets lost last night, breaking the hearts of many Met fans…
I believe the Clinton Curse on the Yanks, might be contagious…

The Curse Strikes Again - The Mets Lose
Congratulations to the mighty Cardinals…

For Hubby’s 30th reunion last summer in Northern California I bought some just as cute as yours, Skechers, also in black. They looked really cute with the little black dress, in the dark… I can’t wear heels anymore, haven’t been able to wear them for about 18-1/2 years now…

[…] Another reason: “Speaker” Pelosi (or as Don Surber notes: President Pelosi? Go read his column for the explanation) Update: The Anchoress says no way Hillary will allow it! […]

Excellent wrap-up. Thanks!

Hillary and the Cross She Bears
**Welcome James Wolcott readers. It certainly seems that women with an opinion (particularly myself, Peggy Noonan and The Anchoress) slightly irk the amusing and very opinionated Vanity Fair contributor. I thought today’s so-called liberals loved and …

Iraq a noble mistake? No, it isn’t. It was the right call. You don’t leave alone it and say the situation is “contained.” There is no third way out. With regard to WS ‘06, I’m a St. Louis fan, may be the Tigers in five or six. A week off, that’s a lot of rust. Have fun at the wedding.

Can a decent person be a Republican and a conservative?
I think not.
October 21st, 2006 at 10:13 pm
Please, TRY to think, Bruce! We know you can do it!
Also… Go, Tigers!!!
October 22nd, 2006 at 9:43 am
At least you are honest about not thinking…

[…] Red Tide Rising My Cardinals are now up 3 games to 1 in the World Series. When last I mentioned this here, The Anchoress gently reminded me of the conventional wisdom: “The Tigers are going to eat the Cardinals for breakfast. A sweep in four, says I!” […]
