Dowd: It's Hillary in 2008

Hillary Clinton is the great White (House) hope of American womanhood, and in 2008 she'll be swept into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd declares.

In a column "Can Hillary Upgrade?" devoted to the proposition that American males are "biologically" unsuited to hold political office or leadership positions, Miss Dowd propounds a solution: elect a women with an ample supply of the testosterone the males she cites (Torricelli, Andrew Coumo, Tom Daschle, and Ari Fleischer) have been shown to lack.

"The arena is full of powerful men in touch with their powerless inner women," the pugnacious Dowd wrote. "And yet, surrounded by famous men puddling under pressure, American girls are still doubtful about the prospects of a woman becoming president." Citing a USA Today poll 40 percent of the women said they would not see one within 10 years and a grim 14 percent "not in my lifetime."

Shocked at her sisters' faintheartedness, Miss Dowd asks "Are those 14 percent unaware of the Clintonian relentlessness of the junior senator from New York?"

Miss Dowd, journalism's archetype of the species of womanhood once known as "common scolds" sets the record straight for her female readers. Hillary, she says, will go for it in 2008, and those dastardly Republicans with their feet firmly planted in the middle of the vast right wing conspiracy will create the circumstances that will allow her to walk downtown to the White House and reclaim all those lovely furnishings the cold hearted government wouldn't allow her to purloin when she left there in January 2001.

Because she's "staying away from Al Gore's kumbayah corner. She's muting any doubts she has about a war on Iraq - "... she is not articulating her angst as loudly as some of her Democratic colleagues...and "knows that any woman who hopes to be elected president cannot have love beads in her jewelry case. As a result she'll back GW if her decides to take out Saddam: "I know a little bit about what it's like on the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue, making these difficult decisions," Hillary told Tim Russert.

She has gone all out raising money for fellow Democrats, using her House as NewsMax.com reported Monday as a fund raising gimmick. As Dowd says, she has "put Democrats in her debt by handing out fistfuls of cash from her PAC." Mrs. Clinton and her sometime husband have it all planned out. According to their scenario either John Kerry or John Edwards or Al Gore, "if he can find any Democratic donors" will be the sacrificial lamb in 2004" to a popular wartime president Bush.

In the meantime, Mrs. Clinton will hunker down and play the role of a dedicated senator "for a few more years." She will shed the liberal label, "veering away from the left on issues like welfare and bankruptcy."

"In the flush of patriotism and empire-building, the Republicans take over the Senate and keep the House this fall. Then President Bush wins his war on Iraq." This of course makes Dubya "and his inner circle.. more arrogant."

White House political experts Carl Rove, "pushes through the most reactionary agenda since the Congress of Vienna, packing the courts with young right-wingers opposed to abortion and all regulations. Congress, too, gets carried away with an ultra-conservative agenda." "The maniacally centrist American public craves another correction. Right, left, right, left. Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton. Yup. In our lifetime."

Note: We left out the one Republican Dowd cited as lacking the requisite maleness she seems to crave: Gov. Jeb Bush who she faults for crying every time his daughter gets arrested, Pray tell, Miss Dowd, what do you expect him to do, shout hosannas?

But then, you have to understand that Dowd wouldn't begin to understand how anybody would react when a beloved but drug addicted daughter gets busted. Dowd doesn't have a daughter and since she's getting long in the tooth it's doubtful she ever will.

Somebody should tell the Dowd woman that it has been truly said that "only strong men cry." The weak ones are afraid to.

Sorry bud, but you couldn't be more in error...have you travelled around the country lately? The women absolutely cannot stand Hillary Clinton. Only the anarchists and lesbions would be voting for Hillary.

Condi vs. Hillary in '08 - wouldn't that be the Mother of All Elections?!! I sincerely believe that if a woman and/or a black is to be elected President, it would be someone with Condi's profile.

I'll go even further and say that she will definitely find her way onto a national ticket at some point. Assuming W remains reasonably popular upon leaving office in '08, even if Condi isn't quite ready to run for President, what GOP presidential candidate wouldn't want her on the ticket as his VP choice?

Hillary is the shrewdest and most politically savvy candidate this nation has ever seen. She is also the most dangerous foe we have ever had, bar none,and stays awake late at nights thinking up ways to deconstruct the USA. It is entirely feasible, probable, in fact, that she will run and win in '08.

Hopefully, I'll be on some uncharted jungle island in the Philippine Archipelago living on rice, fish, and mangoes when that happens, with an M1 and a couple thousand rounds in case her infernal minions come to hunt me down.

So is Rosie O'Donut...Anyone with a third of a brain cell could see through her self engrandized "Queen of Nice" facade before she ever got her TV show and Hitlery doesn't even have THAT kind of false press working for her.

Hitlery will wreak no significant damage of her own cancerous socialist agenda unless she were to get control of both houses of Congress as well.

Assuming she won in '04, what we would get would be a miserable FOUR YEAR repeat of the first two years of Slick's first term, before he circled the wagons & became a centrist to avoid an ass kicking in his 1996 re-election. I doubt Hitlery is even THAT smart & will try even harder to foster class warfare & hatred of the Right to hardball her agenda through (thinking she can't possibly NOT get re-elected).

She truly is an "If nobody wants to dance to my records, I'm taking them home & there just won't BE a damn dance, and I'll see to it you'll ALL be real, real sorry!" Beotch.

>>Only the anarchists and lesbions would be voting for Hillary.

Don't forget loyal McKinneyesque "Believe every conspiracy theory you're told" blacks, liberal jews, and possibly pissy little gay males, who technically aren't "men" anyhow.

Still not nearly enough votes by my estimation.

Hillary Clinton is the great White (House) hope of American womanhood.....

---------------------------

The Clinton campaign will bill itself as a campaigh to achieve complete political enfranchisement of women. It will work. Right now the Republicans have nobody with the brains or guts to contest her. If it weren't for Bush's present crusade in the mid east and the public clinging to him in crisis, Hillary would roll over him in 2004.

She is absolutely guranteed to run. And she could win. Republicans will not know how to run against her. They will keep quiet on the scandals and try to be nice. It will backfire.

----------------------

This is correct. The Republicans don't know how to run against anybody.

That is incorrect. Conservatives always underestimate the popularity of those we dislike. Hillary Clinton is absolutely adored amongst the feminist set, and wanna-be feminist flaky middle-American women. Many women will vote for her solely because she is a woman. They will give no thought whatsoever to the damage she will wreak upon the country should she ascend to the Presidency.

-------------------------

Conservatives and Republicans lie to themselves constantly to maintain an empty Bravado. When the election occurs, they find themselves having lost every round since Reagan.

Condi Rice would match up well (in public) with Senator Clinton. However, I have heard that Ms. Rice is pro-choice.

---------------------------

The truth is, damned few Republicans or anybody else know a thing about Rice. She's the prerequisite black that has a knack for speaking Russian and several other languages. How well she THINKS in any of them has not been seriously seriously examined. She's a shadowy figure people here and elsewhere are trying to build up in desperation.

Of course all of this overlooks the fact that she also has no personality and that she is a TERRIBLE speaker.

------------------------

That is absolute bull crap. Hillary is damned good in both departments when she wants to be. Hillary is an evil bitch. However, if you and others continue to blind yourselves to the truth and underestimate her, you are helping to put her in office.

I know how she thinks. Extremely well. I read the National Security Strategy paper she wrote for the President. It was damned good stuff.

Trust me, she's no shrinking violet.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

This may sound silly, the anecdote I will relay, but I think it puts the lie to what you have said.

During the Miss America pageant Miss Connecticut was asked who her role model was (yes, Miss Conn. is black) and she said Condoleeza Rice and listed a few reasons why. This was met by applause and the host (some comedian I'm not familiar with) said "good choice".

In our lifetime."

If that witch runa, I WILL be old enough to spend my "golden years" protesting from one end of the counry to the other.

And Hillary IS a terrible speaker. "Uh"s and "you know"s fill every sentence of her sing-song delivery.

Mind you, I don't point that out thinking she isn't a challenge as a candidate, but for different reasons.

-----------------------

Who is Miss Connecticut? How many votes does she have? How many elections has she won? How many elections have the Clintons lost?

The babble on this thread is ludicrous. You are seriously underestimating Hillary Clinton. In so doing you are going to end up with that evil bitch as preaident.

And Hillary IS a terrible speaker. "Uh"s and "you know"s fill every sentence of her sing-song delivery.

That's your sugjective opinion. Unfortunately 6he people who elected her and many other disagree with you.

Mind you, I don't point that out thinking she isn't a challenge as a candidate, but for different reasons.

Were I you I would start analyzing and refuting those different reasons because they are what counts.

She's a control freak. A top-down government socialist. Check out Marc Tucker letter to Hillary Clinton and see how she and her ilk plan a cradle-to-grave socialistic plan for everybody in America, first starting with the public schools (School-to-Work programs -- planned economy). Her health program scared the hell out of people. Apparently, from what I've read, she had provisions to jail and confiscate property if patients paid by cash or went out on their own to look for specialists.

Browse through "It Takes A Village." The woman isn't an American. I don't know where she came from.
