So hillary stated that it required "the willing suspension of disbelief" to accept General Petraeus' Report to Congress this week.
Fortunately, this is an easy accomplishment for hillary. She is an expert at the Willing Suspension of Disbelief as she demonstrated over the years.
Let's just think of some examples:
It requires the willing suspension of disbelief to believe a novice trader, can turn $10,000 into $100,000 by a series of complex cattle futures trades and then, having demonstrated a greater ability to trade successfully than anyone before or since, She was so disbelieving she suddenly stopped trading, and has done no trading since.
It requires the willing suspension of disbelief to believe that "the Smartest woman in the World" was unable to recall facts over 100 times in front of a grand jury.
It requires the willing suspension of disbelief to believe that the Rose Law Firm billing records suddenly turned up after three years of diligent searching in the White House.
It requires the willing suspension of disbelief to believe that no one had any idea who hired Craig Livingstone?
It requires the willing suspension of disbelief to believe that the man and his friends that have donated $850,000 to her campaign but appears to have no tangible assets are not a bunch of crooks?
It requires the willing suspension of disbelief to believe that her husband, didn't have sex with “that woman”.
It requires the willing suspension of disbelief to believe that Gennifer Flowers wasn't having an affair with her husband for years.
It requires the willing suspension of disbelief to believe that Vince Foster Shot himself in Fort Marcy Park.
I'm sure you can all think of other examples....
Excellent
It also requires the willing suspension of disbelief to think that this person is even remotely qualified to be the leader of the free world.
An most flabbergasting and inhuman of all: she quit.
Well, I’ve got to hand it to Hillary. She keeps her double negatives straight.
And she’s got a lot of them.
a.k.a. “The Unbearable Darkness of Being (a Democrat)”
She has heard the muse and through her he speaks:
All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms.
And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress’ eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon’s mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slipper’d pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side,
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything
It requires the willing suspension of disbelief to believe that she made $100k on a $1k investment in cattle futures..............
I believe that the world’s greatest trader actually opened her account with only $1000, not $10,000.
Let's just think of some examples:
Add one for me.
It she Hillary Rodham, Hillary Rodham-Clinton, Hillary Clinton, or Ms. Bill Clinton?
It requires the willing suspension of disbelief to believe that Juanita Broderick and all the other women are lying..............
I remember hearing Rush make this mistake too. But it actually drove home how ridiculous it would be to even make TEN times your original investment in such a short time. 100 times, impossible. Short of winning the lottery I don't know of any legitimate investment that would do this. Even Bill Gates' fortune didn't go from 1 million to a billion in a couple of months.
But then again, the same thing was true of voting for Billy Jeff, and a plurality of voters, and majority of the electoral college, did that...TWICE.
Fasten your seat belts, it's gonna be a rough ride from here to November of '08. And rougher after that if la bruja wins.
It requires the willing suspension of disbelief to believe that has “always been a Yankees fan.”............
It requires the willing suspension of disbelief to believe that Hillary had no idea her chief of staff, Maggie Williams, was accepting large amounts of cash IN HER WHITE HOUSE OFFICE from Johnny Chung.
It requires the willing suspension ot disbelief to believe that Janet Reno was the most qualified person to serve as Attorney General and Webb Hubbell was the most qualified to serve as Deputy Attorney General, in an administration run by two attorneys.
It requires the willing suspension of disbelief to believe that although Hillary is protected by the Secret Service they had no idea that Norman Hsu was a fugitive from justice.
It requires the willing suspension of disbelief to believe that Bill Clinton’s last-minute pardon of FALN terrorists had nothing to do with Hillary running for Senate from New York.
It requires the willing suspension of disbelief to believe that a plane crash caused a bullet-sized hole in the back of Ron Brown’s head.
It requires suspension of disbelief to believe Hillary had no idea her own brothers were selling presidential pardons.
It requires the willing suspension of disbelief to believe that she “talks to Eleanor Roosevelt”..........
That would take some hellish investigation, let alone personal sacrifice to follow through to make that determination. ; )
It requires the willing suspension of disbelief to believe that such a being exists before the Apocalypse.
It requires the willing suspension of disbelief to believe that the Rose Law Firm billing records suddenly turned up after three years of diligent searching in the White House
ONE DAY after the statute of limitations ran out.
It requires the willing suspension of disbelief to believe that it was a vast right wing conspiracy to bring down her husband rather than to believe that he was sexually harrassing women in the office.
Hill continues a tradition the Democrats started in 1864.
Democratic Party Platform, 1864
Resolved, That in the future, as in the past, we will adhere with unswerving fidelity to the Union under the Constitution as the only solid foundation of our strength, security, and happiness as a people, and as a framework of government equally conducive to the welfare and prosperity of all the States, both Northern and Southern.
Resolved, That this convention does explicitly declare, as the sense of the American people, that after four years of failure to restore the Union by the experiment of war, during which, under the pretense of a military necessity of war-power higher than the Constitution, the Constitution itself has been disregarded in every part, and public liberty and private right alike trodden down, and the material prosperity of the country essentially impaired, justice, humanity, liberty, and the public welfare demand that immediate efforts be made for a cessation of hostilities, with a view of an ultimate convention of the States, or other peaceable means, to the end that, at the earliest practicable moment, peace may be restored on the basis of the Federal Union of the States.
Resolved, That the direct interference of the military authorities of the United States in the recent elections held in Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, and Delaware was a shameful violation of the Constitution, and a repetition of such acts in the approaching election will be held as revolutionary, and resisted with all the means and power under our control.
Resolved, That the aim and object of the Democratic party is to preserve the Federal Union and the rights of the States unimpaired, and they hereby declare that they consider that the administrative usurpation of extraordinary and dangerous powers not granted by the Constitution — the subversion of the civil by military law in States not in insurrection; the arbitrary military arrest, imprisonment, trial, and sentence of American citizens in States where civil law exists in full force; the suppression of freedom of speech and of the press; the denial of the right of asylum; the open and avowed disregard of State rights; the employment of unusual test-oaths; and the interference with and denial of the right of the people to bear arms in their defense is calculated to prevent a restoration of the Union and the perpetuation of a Government deriving its just powers from the consent of the governed.
Resolved, That the shameful disregard of the Administration to its duty in respect to our fellow citizens who now are and long have been prisoners of war and in a suffering condition, deserves the severest reprobation on the score alike of public policy and common humanity.
Resolved, That the sympathy of the Democratic party is heartily and earnestly extended to the soldiery of our army and sailors of our navy, who are and have been in the field and on the sea under the flag of our country, and, in the events of its attaining power, they will receive all the care, protection, and regard that the brave soldiers and sailors of the republic have so nobly earned.

No Democrat should be allowed to speak on ANY subject, UNTIL they have made a statement of support or condemnation of the MoveON.org “General Betray US” ad..
FIRST I want to know the position of every politician on that POS ad before I’m interested in hearing anything else from their freaking mouth...
All of us know that Hillary is NOT qualified to be CIC. If this woman is elected, probably fraudulently, our butts are cooked.
As much as this harridan wishes us to believe she knows something, her criminal hubby would be running the show.
God help us.
It requires the willing suspension of disbelief to believe that she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary, who was relatively unknown at the time of her birth.
Rush did say that. He also wondered that she read the WSJ to make her investment but apparently stopped reading the WSJ after this one astoundingly successful investment.
Goodness, hasn’t anyone else caught the error in her words??
WILLING SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF
Willing = intentional
Suspension = ending of, stopping
disbelief = not believing
knowingly stopping not believing means YOU WILLINGLY INTENTIONALLY BELIEVE
It constantly amazes me how this woman has so little knowledge.
Your an analysis is correct, but so is her usage, in that she used it as she meant to..
The witch was saying that you have to force yourself to believe what Petraeus was saying and not that it was inherently believable on it's own merits.
brujota?
Brujota = Big Witch..
(don tin foil, arm kitties, tie up moose and drown out my showering sister's singing)
Belief is ... well ... belief.
So disbelief must be the opposite of belief.
To suspend disbelif, sounds more like it is believing ,,, but all comments seem to understand her words to mean she was suspending belief and not DISbelief.
I'm no English major, but every now and then something tugs at me, just because it doesn't sound right.
