Look Inside Where?

Veterans of the 90’s VRWC thank Hillary Rodham Clinton for speaking to voters in Iowa from a cattle barn. After all, elections are all about the futures. Hillary was in rare form, offering us the following words of wisdom.

"I've been to cattle barns before and sales before, in Arkansas, but I've never felt like I was the one that was being bid on," Clinton told a crowd in western Iowa. "I know you're going to inspect me. You can look inside my mouth if you want. I hope by the end of my time with you I can make the case for my candidacy and to ask you to consider caucusing for me."(AP – 12/16/07)

After hearing what comes out of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s mouth, I’m not sure anyone other than a trained proctologist should be going anywhere near that part of her anatomy. Much of what she has to say on behalf of herself seems best left on the floor of the cattle barn until the stable crews arrive with shovels and pails to remove it before it breeds too many flies.

I can only think the pressure of having to actually do this campaign thing is getting to her a bit. She has gone from guaranteed nominee to fighting for her life. Hillary Rodham Clinton doesn’t seem to know how to ask people to approve of her. She previously has always taken it for granted.

This is troubling on many levels. The person in charge has to earn trust and loyalty. The President’s next job interview is the next day that person faces the cameras or has to make another decision. The vetting never ends, but Hillary; seemingly, has never really been vetted.

Hillary has also never taken an appreciative attitude towards the help. Many, at whom she has talked, wished she had only told them to go and eat cake. It must be galling for her to have to ask such commoners to caucus on her behalf.

In essence, Hillary Rodham Clinton forgot how to relate to normal human beings. Normal people don’t need to embark on likeability projects. They don’t need others to explain them to people the way Mark Penn struggles to sell frozen Hillary on a cold, Late Autumn campaigning trip.

Mark Penn, a top Clinton strategist, said that's the message: "It's important for people to understand the depth of Hillary, the way she has helped people."

What Penn deliberately elides is that there really isn’t anything deep about being nice to others. A good handshake and an honest word of respect and praise would be the only likeability project that her opponents, Republican and Democrat alike, would ever need. No one with a genuine human core should ever require a likeability project.

But what ever was genuine about Hillary or her diminutive spouse? People dislike the Clintons voraciously because they know exactly who each of them are.

I think it’s very cool that she likened herself to a cow.

Actually that seems pretty self-effacing. Hard to fault it as campaign prose.

Midwestern American English is considered the standard. She never learned how to make fun of normal people either.

Maybe Hillary thinks she is being treated like a slave.

Look in side this pit?

I'd rather look inside lewinsky's mouth, I know what kind of tool to use. Proctology tool.

OK. So help us understand, Mark.
