Loading ...Nobody's Opinion: You gotta hand it to her. With a lot of help from her friends, the one-woman strike force, General Hillary Clinton, held another one of her carefully staged ‘town-hall’ meetings on Sunday’s ABC’s program, The Week with George Stephonopoulos.
Indiana…look out.
She was looking simply marvelous in her dark pants suit—a suit she desperately wanted to show off because she kept popping up out of her chair to command full attention, much to George’s frustration. George had provided a beautiful sit-down set, fit for a Commander-in-Chief. They spared no expense…huge leather chairs, carefully placed lamps and décor that was evidently not good enough.
And if you’ve been following her recent events, a John Deere tractor-trailer on the set, would have suited her better.
Hillary, who is now on the last home stretch to her nomination as Supreme General of the upcoming totalitarian world filled with capitalistic multinational leaders, (leaders she now attacks for their out-of-American-order behavior) took full advantage of the visual affect of making herself look powerful and commanding against little George Stephonopoulos, who she not only outweighs but out-flashes.
Hillary knows how to make a man look small.
So—George was forced to stand and ask questions. Angry no doubt for the rudeness of how Hillary simply took over control of his show, he asked her much tougher questions then anyone has asked before. In the usual political gobbly-gook that we all expect from the Clintons, she managed to fluff away every point as if they were just attacks of puff-balls filled with bullets of whipped cream.
All she needed was the obligatory whip of General Patton to complete her outfit.
Yes—General Hillary was in command. She even mentioned that there was a general in the audience backing her. She also mentioned that George used to work for her in the White House. And you can be sure, when she is President, she will never fail to remind us all that the American people work for General Hillary’s vision of America—so toughen up!
She’s becoming a regular Napoleon.
The ‘town hall’ audience carefully stood and read their questions given to them on cue cards, each question picked to match perfectly the person reading the question. There was a handsome young man who read, “what about our lost jobs?” There was a farmer who read, “how about the farm jobs?” There was a young black woman who asked, “Where’s Revered Wright? Am I in the wrong room? ”
Actually, she didn’t ask that, but I bet she was thinking it.
Hillary had a carefully thought out answer to each question, because she knew them before they were asked. There was also a young smiling Republican woman who said she registered as a Democrat, just to vote for Hillary. This helped Stephonopoulos bring up the subject of how Rush Limbaugh is helping Hillary with his “Operation Chaos.”
“He’s always had a crush on me.” she said. That was such an excellent answer, one wonders if General Rush isn’t lending her some of his crack-shot writers.
The real problem here is, when past presidential advisers, who Presidents spend more time with than even their first ladies, end up getting very prominent positions on the major televisions networks right before that President’s term is up, as George Stephonopoulos, Dick Morris, and Carl Rove have done—it doesn’t matter how much they try to convince us that they no longer work for their pass bosses…can the American people actually trust that they don’t?
Its one thing to become simple columnists or lobbyists–it’s quite another to get their own shows and be given the power to influence elections results.
Hillay’s ‘town hall’ meeting could have been done in communist Russia. There was not anything about it that was not controlled down to the last minute, except Hillary once again reminding George just who his commanding officer still is.
Ms. Rodham is now a gun-toting, get-out-of-dodge, kick-ass, I’m your huckleberry sheriff, until she gets in the White House. She plays to the crowd, Once in, who knows what she will do, but it’s clear, she has been ruthless in her past…she can only get worse loaded with more power.
Meanwhile, John McCain might want to get some platform shoes because General Hillary is out to smash that “I am Commander-In-Chief’ lid right on his head.
And that’s an image that’s hard to flush away.

Just how Hilary is thinking of that little feature of American public life must keep her awake at night in ever glowing sheets. She no doubt thinks she is funny but when push comes to shove she will likely come across as having humour in a jugular vein.
Maybe she will just restrict her performances to slapping some poor chap's face - that always gets a laugh. Or maybe whacking a fellow diner with a tureen spoon. And tip the tureen over some poor visiting Ambassador's head for the encore.
As for the Commander-in-Chief part, well…. I am reminded of James Garner and Jack Lemmon who did a film about ex-Presidents some time ago. There was a scene in a car where they disclosed to one another the words they each had for the 'Hail to the Chief' tune. Words they had made up. Hilarious. "Hail to the Chief coz the Chiefs a nasty bastard…." or something along those lines.
What will Hilary make up, I wonder. The White House bedroom floor will be littered with scribbled bits of headed paper each morning as she struggles to get just the right feminist tone.
'Hail to the Chief
That's we who wears the Pants-Suit.
Praise our lovely hair
Or we'll poke you in the eye
A kick to the groin
Is our Foreign policee plan
A whack with a fry pan
to any passing man'.
Maybe you should have a competition Joyanna. But wherever you do, don't ask me about my words for when I am President. I keep writing new ones. I am favouring some lines at the moment about how a spray from the Amfortas can will beat B.O. but I am having trouble with the scan as there are also lines about chopping arms off so there will be a lot of quite airy armpits around.
It all creative go, this Prsidential lark.
