Getting Mrs. Clinton
WSJ ^ | March 28, 2008 | Peggy Noonan

Posted on 03/27/2008 9:51:02 PM PDT by OnRightOnLeftCoast

I think we've reached a signal point in the campaign. This is the point where, with Hillary Clinton, either you get it or you don't. There's no dodging now. You either understand the problem with her candidacy, or you don't. You either understand who she is, or not. And if you don't, after 16 years of watching Clintonian dramas, you probably never will....

The best part of the article about the Bosnia caper:

What struck me as the best commentary on the Bosnia story came from a poster called GI Joe who wrote in to a news blog: "Actually Mrs. Clinton was too modest. I was there and saw it all. When Mrs. Clinton got off the plane the tarmac came under mortar and machine gun fire. I was blown off my tank and exposed to enemy fire. Mrs. Clinton without regard to her own safety dragged me to safety, jumped on the tank and opened fire, killing 50 of the enemy." Soon a suicide bomber appeared, but Mrs. Clinton stopped the guards from opening fire. "She talked to the man in his own language and got him [to] surrender. She found that he had suffered terribly as a result of policies of George Bush. She defused the bomb vest herself." Then she turned to his wounds. "She stopped my bleeding and saved my life. Chelsea donated the blood."

The poster would have to be referring to former President George H.W. Bush - not the current Bush, since this was 1996.

She’s a lying, phony, pandering, reaching, grifting, treasonous, unqualified sack of shit. So what else is new?

As usual, Peggy Noonan is spot on. There is no better political writer. I always look forward to reading her commentaries. They are pure poetry. She is right about everything, and has the honesty and courage to tell it like it is. She would be a far better President than anyone in this year’s crop of candidates.

The original post by GI Joe referred to Bush 1. For some reason Peggy deleted this. It came from the Politico.

Hillary Clinton is 5 feet-whatever inches and 180-whatever lbs. of blind ambition. She wants the nomination and the presidency, and damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead, she's going to do what she can to get it. The dem primary, at least, has been a heck of a lot of fun to watch, and it will continue to be so.

ROFLOL! Don’t give her any ideas!

Rats have to be the most ignorant, gullible idiots on the planet. Between her and Obama, neither have the sense to pour p*ss out of a boot but boy can they weave lovely lies!

The knives are really out for hillary, it is a beautiful thing to behold her in her political death throes.

I shall enjoy every minute of watching the nomination slip ever further from her grasp as she desperately drags the entire Democrat Party over the abyss in her selfish attempt to satisfy her power lust..

If we “get her” than why are we trying to make
Hillary win the nomination????

Obama is an answer to prayer.

Did we really think our side could knock Hillary
off of her horse? Only one of her own can do that!

If Hillary and Bill Clinton win the nomination,
it’ll be a slide to victory.

They even named their daughter “Chelsea-Victoria” -— a clue to their zest “Shall-See Victory”!

They are DETERMINED.

And we think it’s all a little game....
