Hilliam Clinton
Opinion Journal ^ | 01 nov 07

Posted on 11/01/2007 6:00:08 AM PDT by rellimpank

In the 1990s, "Clintonesque" became a by-word for political double-speak. We even became, briefly, a nation of deconstructionists when President Bill Clinton mused on the meaning of "is."

Such existential questions seemed to be in the past. But with another Clinton running as if she's all but a sure thing for the White House, Clintonesque is once again becoming a politically relevant adjective. In Tuesday night's Democratic Presidential debate, the moderators and Hillary Clinton's fellow panelists took pains to pin her down on one question after another, without notable success. The junior Senator from New York seems increasingly to have adopted her husband's political methods, minus the savoir-faire. The result is that it's impossible to know what she believes about anything.

In another time, we would just call it “lying”.

Hillary can’t lie as well as Bill can.

Yes, but “Slick Hillie” will not get the pass that her “husband” did

They should each do what they do best.

He does the lying.

She intimidates those that question the liar.

I can't see it working the other way around.

But he also intimidates. Remember the Chris Wallace interview?

Just because someone asks you a question, doesn't mean you have to answer that question. That is the method Hil-Rod uses. Just talk. Talk about anything. They can only ask you questions for so long, and then they have to move on.

If she wins that means she gets a library like her husband's.

Quite the apt metaphor for the Clintons.

She has a well-documented bad memory. She demonstrated long-term memory problems when testifying in front of Grand Juries.

Now she is demonstrating a quite obvious short-term memory problem. She couldn't remember her own answer she gave 2 minutes previous to spewing her new position.

With these flaws, you can't remember who you lied to about what.

It was quite clear during this last debate that you could see the wheels turning in her feeble head to figure out how she could come out strong on both sides of any argument. This is a weak replication of the famous Bill Clinton Triangulation. It has become the Hillary Clinton Self-Strangulation.

Ah but tonight, her minions were out on the shows and in ads, telling us how she was ganged up on by the 6 Dims and how the Pubs were mocking her and it was just not kosher! The spin machine is very powerful and do not forget the Clintons seem to knock off, perhaps literally , all their enemies. They just seem to disappear as those dish washing Chinese guys supposedly who gave 1,000 bucks each in some Chinatown. What is it with the Clintons and Chinese crooks?
