January 2, 2008Shameless Hill Shill on NBCLucianne highlights this video at her home page, and I think it’s a pretty interesting one, for several reasons, first because the woman sitting next to Matt Lauer (I don’t watch the show - who is that?) is all but wearing a “Vote for Hillary” button on her breast - there is a most unseemly gushing going on there that sets off all my antennae and makes me want to buy a pair of waders. The video is interesting, secondly, because at almost the same time Eric at Classical Values is noting Hillary’s bad numbers with youthful voters (Via Instapundit) the NBC host is carrying on about how “great she is with young people.” Third - I do marvel when Hillary disingenuously says that she is “from the middle class” and not up from a powerful family. Oookay, we’ll just ignore that part where you have been married to a Governor and President, then, shall we? And we also won’t wonder whether you’d be where you are, today, had you not been the wife of that very powerful fellow? Finally - and most amusingly - this same host mentions bringing her young son to meet Hillary and declares “he wants to be president” and that Hillary talked with her son about that. But…but…young kids who declare their wish to become president are untrustworthy schemers, like Obama, aren’t they? Did Hillary tell the kid to keep his pre-adolescent ambitions under his hat, because someday an ruthless, humorless rival might bring it up? Meanwhile, while NBC gets all warm and fuzzy about about Hillary’s neck pillow (they’d gush about a male candidate’s pillow too, of course) some in the ’sphere - like Kim at Wizbang - are noting that Hillary’s comments on Pakistan’s upcoming election were incredibly mistaken, and that her mistakes are pretty much getting a pass by her protective media pals, who have little-to-no curiosity about anything of substance, when it comes to Mrs. Clinton. Ed Morrissey writes:
Also, apparently Hillary has been caught in a major embellishment that could be called a lie, except I don’t want to start the new year off like that. Bryan at Hot Air manages to put it all together:
He has additional thoughts here. Superhero Hillary! - she’s a warm and gushy lover of children who was the “go-to-gal for dangerous assignments” in the Clinton White House - she uses a really soft neck support as she travels, and she really loves you and cares about you and that’s what matters, right? It must be…because if stretching the truth to unrecognizable proportions or getting serious foreign policy questions completely wrong mattered…why, the press would be writing headlines about it. Wouldn’t they? As Patterico points out:
Mrs. Clinton gets one pass after another; the press ho-hums along. They remind me a little of Snow White’s dwarves, whistling away while they busily work at broadening her inaugural route. What I dread most in this political season is the “genuine” moment - and it is coming, soon, sometime between today and tomorrow, or tomorrow and New Hampshire - when Mrs. Clinton, in her ongoing effort to turn herself into whatever the polls says she must be, cries in public. It’s going to be genuinely ghastly. WELCOME: CQ Readers! (Thank for the link Capting!) While you’re here, please look around. Today we’re also talking about the need to reform these endless, out of control campaigns, and New Year’s Resolutions! http://theanchoressonline.com/2008/01/02/shameless-hill-shill-on-nbc/trackback/ 27 Responses to “Shameless Hill Shill on NBC” |

I don’t want to start the new year off like that
But must we start the New Year talking about Hillary at all???
Please, please, please, NO MORE. Will this national nightmare never end?? Won’t she just please go away now??
My dear Democratic friends, please do your country, your world, and your party a favor by driving as many wooden stakes as possible into Hillary’s heart. You must be the ones to do it. If Republicans are forced to do it, then you will feel the obligation to support her, thus endangering your own souls.
Hillary’s idea of “change” is to turn back the clock. That’s not change, that’s only ensuring more of the same. More of the same duplicity, more of the same disingenuousness, more of the same viciousness. Please Dems, get rid of her now! Effect real change. End Clintonism Now!

I thought that the “Nobody But Clinton” cracks were just bleats from single-minded sheep, but there was clearly no pretence of impartiality in that NBC interview.
