Camille Paglia: “It remains baffling ... that Hillary Clinton is our party’s best chance”
Salon ^ | 22 August 2013 | Camille Paglia

Posted on 08/22/2013 1:44:04 AM PDT by Rummyfan

...Any hopes, fears or predictions for the presidential elections in 2016?

As a registered Democrat, I am praying for a credible presidential candidate to emerge from the younger tier of politicians in their late 40s. A governor with executive experience would be ideal. It’s time to put my baby-boom generation out to pasture! We’ve had our day and managed to muck up a hell of a lot. It remains baffling how anyone would think that Hillary Clinton (born the same year as me) is our party’s best chance. She has more sooty baggage than a 90-car freight train. And what exactly has she ever accomplished — beyond bullishly covering for her philandering husband? She’s certainly busy, busy and ever on the move — with the tunnel-vision workaholism of someone trying to blot out uncomfortable private thoughts.

There are probably dozens of waiting-in-the-wings closet manchurian marxists, nurtured and groomed by Soros-types, just biding their time. Many probably just under the presidential age today... but ready to go for ‘16, ‘20, and so on

She somehow reminds me of Nikita with all the pounding.

The next few presidential cycles will see the sole qualification for office will be gender based. Even a she devil will considered highly qualified. The media’s biggest quandary will be how to define Sarah Palin out of the female gender.

Very interesting!

This coming from the ‘lady,’ IIRC, said that she’d give Bill Clinton a BJ any time.

Perhaps there is some hope left when one skank calls an even older skank out to task for being a Baby Boom relic.

Gotta Love It!

No, you must be confused. Camile Paglia is and has been very openly gay, and never a big fan of the clintoons.

This chick is nothing short of a fast-talking neo-Marxist loon.

So why would rabid women marxists be attacking Hillary? What would be in Hillary's closet that they would be willing to face Clintons "Bimbo Eruption" team?

And don't tell me Bill or Huma; they aren't anti-marxist as far as I know.

The key line from Paglia:

She has more sooty baggage than a 90-car freight train. And what exactly has she ever accomplished...

she's more of a communist that Nikita ever was

She's an angry scheming unethical alinsky acolyte and I can't remember if it was Cloward or Piven (or both) who were honored guests at Bill Clinton's inauguration

Its good to know at least one other woman in the country is asking the same question: Hillary Clinton? wtf?

Khrushchev unlike Hillary had a sense of humor; coarse & peasant-like, he could laugh at himself. Following the shoe-pounding tirade he joked that he had “found it necessary to inject a little life into the stuffy atmosphere” of the General Assembly.

Hillary would only sneer, “how gauche”.

It remains baffling that she is not in jail.

It still very likely will be Hillary, but the dems may field yet another flashy "rock star." My guess that would be San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro. The "media" will convince voters that a pro-amnesty lefty hispanic is the next "One."

This, from the DiploMad blog[I have no connection], is a year and a half old but is worth reading as the viewpoint of someone in the State Dept. Here's a key bit:

"The problem with Hillary Clinton's tenure, however, is more fundamental than the lack of a doctrine. Secretary Clinton has no knowledge of or interest in foreign affairs. She is bored by the substance; has no appreciation for core US interests, or how to defend them; does not understand the correlation between military power and diplomacy; and fritters time ineffectually on marginal issues, e.g., women in Africa. She has a close entourage of mostly "high powered" women, e.g., Cheryl Mills, who come from her political campaigns, draw top government salaries, have no foreign affairs knowledge, and worry only about the Secretary's image. She has entrusted some key programs to this entourage, and they have made a hash."

Why would they have baggage on a freight train?
