"Greenfield" not "Greenberg" oops

ABSTRACT

Background:

Using internal polling, the clinton 'infrastructure' determined that its cozy-clintonoid-interviews-of-the-Colmes/King-kind scheme is no longer working. The scheme, which successfully shepherded and shielded the vacuous, inept, corrupt clintons for nine years, is now, post-9/11, yielding diminishing returns--and worse--increasing ridicule.

Hence, we had the clinton 'infrastructure' interviewer recalculation last week that specified more interviewer gravitas...and less lapdog...but not more doggedness...that is to say...that specified Jeff Greenfield.

A miscalculation, as it turned out. Greenfield made up in contempt what he lacked in inexorability. (Although he conducted the entire interview circumambulating on eggshells, Greenfield did eventually ask the ugly questions.)

Analysis:

Greenfield's circuitous path to clinton depravity and failure necessitates a nonlinear analysis of the data; we will use a nonlinear least squares curve fitter. Proportional hazards political survival regression analysis will generate a political survival curve for hillary clinton, which will show her viability (so to speak) over time.

Political survival time is defined as the length of the interval between the initial political trial balloon and political moribundity. Political moribundity is defined as two consecutive political failures--(one in the case of 9/11), or three not-necessarily-consecutive boo-filled public appearances, or one instance of a serious proposal generating laughter.

ASIDE: Since by any of these standards, hillary clinton is already flatlined, the more interesting question for this analysis would be: "What the hell is this moribund loser doing in the political arena, anyway?"

Survival is influenced by one or more factors, called "predictors" or "covariates", which may be categorical (such as the quality of 'infrastructure') or continuous (such as intellect or eloquence or character).

Results:

clinton rigor mortis rendered any discussion of clinton moribundity moot.
Nonetheless, one of the more significant continuous predictors of political moribundity is clinton's tic-like insertion of "you know," a marker for ineloquence, vulgarity, ignorance, rube-meets-valley-girl demographics, low self-esteem, anxiety and insincerity.
clinton uttered "you know" 52 times. (Greenfield eventually caught the bug and uttered six "you knows," himself.) Frequency of clinton "you knows" varied directly with intensity of Greenfield contempt and inversely with magnitude of Greenfield softballs.
clinton confirmed my hypothesis of Rubin complicity in a clinton coup. See "The Daschle Scheme".

I missed some of your great posts. Thanks.

I did watch Heir Hitlary,(although she is actually a Stalinist), on MTP. She must have studied Hitler, however, living his infamous quote: Great liars are also great magicians. Just add, they make anything they want to disappear such as culpability.

Regarding Sandy Berger, or any of the wretchedly incompetent Clinton cabinet, it got to the point that I would or could not listen to them. Worse, the media gave them credence, just like Doris Goodwin.

There were two historians that were on Face the Nation, and if you can believe it, were not Goodwin and that other guy they usually have. When the subject turned to Clinton, they both almost called him a buffoon. I wish the subject would have turned to Hillary.
