February 21, 2007Those damned anti-Clintites strike again! Geffen!On this Ash Wednesday Barack Obama’s people are being warned to turn away from the sin of vicious politics…oh, and return any checks you’ve gotten, too! Writes the Clinton team: “If Senator Obama is indeed sincere about his repeated claims to change the tone of our politics, he should immediately denounce these remarks, remove Mr. Geffen from his campaign and return his money. “While Democrats should engage in a vigorous debate on the issues, there is no place in our party or our politics for the kind of personal insults made by Senator Obama’s principal fundraiser. Well, slap my ass and call me Sally, but it seems to me that a strong and confident campaign does not demand that other candidates denounce their supporters and return contribution checks to them, but this is what Hillary Clinton’s campaign does all the time! Particularly if an opponant’s donor has dared to say something mean about poor old Hillary, who is just a girl and should be treated nice, because politics is about niceness and sweetness, and she would never, never indulge in a scorched earth, slash-and-burn sort of politics, herself. Clinton already played this “denounce and return the checks” charade to Rudy Giuliani, and as I wrote then, she’ll do it again - anytime she feels the least bit criticized. Because she’s too special for that, dammit! It’s one of the things that has fascinated me over the past ten years - the press’ seeming perspective that there are Clintons and Clinton supporters…and then there is the rest of the world, which contains - among other things - anti-Clintites. I guess when you feel you’re entitled to your presidency and don’t really have to do the hard work of explaining much of anything, then you shouldn’t have to endure the typical heat of politics. But all of this demonstrates to me exactly why Hillary has stayed out of the kitchen and away from baking cookies all these years: She cannot stand the heat. And she is utterly artless. She gallumphs, spins, ducks, weaves, hauls out Bill (or simply mentions his holy name) as soon as things get difficult, and then runs for cover. This is a woman who never, ever apologizes for anything but she always seems to need apologizing to. She wants to lead the nation, and the free world. And our troops. But let someone with a little disposable cash cast a disagreeable eye her way, and Hillary thrusts out her lip, plays the victim, calls them “mean” and demands that they pull back and let her win! Hey - there is a tactic we haven’t tried! I wonder if we can defeat Islamofascism by labeling them “meanies” and making a moue. Can you imagine if this woman had to endure one fiftieth of the personal and political nastiness and criticism heaped upon President Bush every day? If she can’t take a few shots from Geffen, she’s demonstrating just how weak she is. Indeed, no lion-heart is Hillary. There is no clanking when she walks. Jim Geraghty wonders if she has a glass jaw.

This from a woman who was involved in two of the most vicious, divisive presidential campaigns that ever took place anywhere! Clearly it is “do as I say” not “do as I do” with this person.

Yo, Sally! (Sorry, always wanted to do that.)
She’s looking less and less viable, and increasingly canned. Canned…now *there’s* a thought.

Clinton Denounces Slash And Burn Politics
Hillary should avoid situations and comments like these that make her look like a girl who’s upset she didn’t get invited to the prom.

Still saying “Anyone but Hillary”
