Loading ...“Mine Amerikkan Kamph Rejects Me“, Laments Senator Sir Hillary Rodham Clinton As Der Amerikkans Favor Herr Opponents (or something like that…)
Deep down, I get this feeling Sir Hillary and Company just can’t fathom how she was unable to fake her “experience” as (supposedly) “The Nation’s First Black Co-President” and convince the “sheeple” to buy into the farce.
“How can they deny me my RIGHTFUL THRONE?”, she asks herself incredulously as she watches her never that impressive in the first place popularity rating slip as a… a… REAL black person’s popularity rating vastly overshadows her own. Barack Obama seems to be destined for the presidency; Hillary seems to be destined for more of that phony “I Heart NY” legacy she’s adopted in her newly-adopted “Home State Of New York.
I hate it for her. I really do…
From The New York Times:
Soldiering On, but Somber as the Horizon Darkens
While Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton has not given up, advisers say, she has the perspective of a realist: someone has to lose.
By PATRICK HEALY
To her longtime friends, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton sounds unusually philosophical on the phone these days. She rarely uses phrases like “when I’m president” anymore. Somber at times, determined at others, she talks to aides and confidants about the importance of focusing on a good day’s work. No drapes are being measured in her mind’s eye, they say.
And Mrs. Clinton has begun thanking some of her major supporters for helping her run for the Democratic presidential nomination.
“When this is all over, I’m really looking forward to seeing you,” she told one of those supporters by phone the other day. …”
(Snip!)
“… as resolute as she is, she no longer exudes the supreme confidence that was her trademark before the first defeat, in Iowa in January. And then there were more humbling blows, aides say: replacing her campaign manager on Feb. 10, then losing the Wisconsin primary and her hold on the women’s vote there last Tuesday.
If she is not temperamentally suited to reckon with the possibility of losing quite yet, advisers say, she is also a cold, hard realist about politics — at some point, she is known to say, someone will win and someone will not. …”
(Snip!)
“… “When she’s on the road and someone has a negative news story, she says, ‘I don’t want to hear it; I don’t need to hear it.’ I think she wants to protect herself from that… ”
(Snip!)
“… she knows that there will be an end,” Ms. Hope said. “She is a very smart woman.” …
(Snip!)
“… several advisers have now concluded that they were not smart to use former President Bill Clinton as much as they did, that “his presence, aura and legacy caused national fatigue with the Clintons,” in the words of one senior adviser who spoke on condition of anonymity to assess the campaign candidly. …”
(Snip!)
“… There is a widespread feeling among donors and some advisers, though, that a comeback this time may be improbable. …”
(Snip!)
“… Morale is low. After 13 months of dawn-to-dark seven-day weeks, the staff is exhausted. Some have taken to going home early — 9 p.m. — turning off their BlackBerrys, and polishing off bottles of wine, several senior staff members said.
Some advisers have been heard yelling at close friends and colleagues. In a much-reported incident, Mr. Penn and the campaign advertising chief, Mandy Grunwald, had a screaming match over strategy recently that prompted another senior aide, Guy Cecil, to leave the room. “I have work to do — you’re acting like kids,” Mr. Cecil said, according to three people in the room.
Others have taken several days off, despite it being crunch time. …”
(Snip!)
“… And some of her major fund-raisers have begun playing down their roles, asking reporters to refer to them simply as “donors,” to try to rein in their image as unfailingly loyal to the Clintons. …”
(Snip!)
“… Mrs. Clinton has avoided giving pep talks to her aides, because a pep talk might suggest that the campaign is heading in an irretrievable direction. …”
(Snip!)
“… to some friends, she is in fact acting differently; to others, the situation has become simply heartbreaking. …”
(Snip!)
“… she has tried to look forward, and has pointedly not talked to her staff about the notion that she might drop out…”
I’m sorry. I hope I don’t come off as TOO insentitive here, but…
CRY ME A RIVER, HILLARY.
Buh-BYE. You ARE “The Weakest Link“. And, thank God, you won’t be our Queen anytime SOON…
