missus clinton's REAL virtual office update

[Mia T]

 

Hamilton (or Madison) discussed the importance of wisdom and virtue in Federalist 57. "The aim of every political constitution is, or ought to be, first to obtain for rulers men who possess most wisdom to discern, and most virtue to pursue, the common good of the society; and in the next place, to take the most effectual precautions for keeping them virtuous whilst they continue to hold their public trust."

(Contrast this with clinton, who recklessly, reflexively and feloniously subordinates the common good to his personal appetites.)

Mia T, THE OTHER NIXON

the logic of pathologic self-interest

by Mia T

 

There was a third chance to get rid of the clintons. In '98, when there was still time to stop bin Laden...

The failure to remove the clintons in '98 was a monumental error and is directly traceable to the logic of pathologic self-interest.

Recall in particular:

• THE LIEBERMAN PARADIGM: (clinton is an unfit president; therefore clinton must remain president)

 

• THE SHAYS SYNDROME: (clinton is a rapist; therefore clinton is a fit president)

 

THE LIEBERMAN PARADIGM

Senator Joseph Lieberman's bifurcated Monicagate speech in 1998 on the floor of the Senate was almost universally misperceived as an act of honesty and courage.

In reality, it was neither.

Reduced to its essence, Lieberman's argument was this:

clinton is an unfit president;
therefore, clinton must remain president.

I have called this argument "The Lieberman Paradigm."

Lieberman's argument that sorry day was rightly headed toward clinton's certain ouster when it suddenly made a swift, hairpin 180, as if clinton hacks took over the wheel. . .which they probably did.

What was Joe promised? A place on the 2000 ticket?

To be fair, it was not the Lieberman speech but rather a New York Times apologia that institutionalized this shameless scheme to protect a thoroughly corrupt and repugnant--and--as everyone except The New York Times now acknowledges-- dangerous -- Democrat regime.

The Lieberman Paradigm made its debut in The Times' utterly loony 1996 endorsement of clinton. The Times actually argued -- NOTE: this is NOT satire on my part (nor is it satire, as far as I can discern, on the part of The Times) -- that although bill clinton was a "corrupt," "dysfunctional personality [with} delusions" -- The Times' own words -- we need not -- we must not -- remove bill clinton; we need only remove.the character lobe of bill clinton's brain.

 

THE SHAYS SYNDROME

Not an aberration, the Shays Syndrome was quickly adopted by the entire Senate as its impeachment show trial deus ex machina of choice.

Shays, you may recall, examined the evidence in the Ford Building, concluded that clinton did, indeed, rape Broaddrick -- "VICIOUSLY!" AND "TWICE!" he declared at the time-- and was planning to vote to impeach; he changed his mind, however, after a tete a tete with the rapist.

Any cognitive dissonance Shays may have experienced rendering that verdict was no doubt assuaged by the political plum clinton had given Mrs. (Betsi) Shays...

Each of the 50 senators, on the other hand, cured the cognitive dissonance problem pre-emptively by making certain not to examine the damning Ford Building evidence in the first place.

Mia, you convinced me a long time ago.

Great post.

[Congressman Billybob]

Thank you, my friend, for using some words I wrote as part of one of your excellent graphic collages. It is an honor. You don't just attack the Clintons; you swarm over them like a thousand bees. That's highly appropriate, given the subject.

[Mia T]

Thank YOU for your thought-provoking post.

(You beat me to the punch. Was abt to ping you. ) ;)

[Remole]

Last evening, while channel-surfing, I caught 10 minutes of Bill Clinton's guest lecture at his own "President Clinton" course offered by UALR (C-Span). One of the questions posed to him had to do with Bosnia. He said (I paraphrase) that he regrets that he could not intervene sooner, but he was at a disadvantage in that he needed to rely on the news reports from American media, just like the rest of us.

This statement is so ludicrous that it defies comment. But it dovetails with the oft-repeated story that Clinton completely disregarded his daily CIA and National Security reports.

[Cicero]

Good reminder. I remember the early articles on clinton's psychology. It's always dangerous to try to analyze somebody, but there's plentiful evidence that a) clinton is a narcissistic sociopath with no true feelings about anyone but himself; and b) clinton is unable to think logically.

Clinton's basic inability to think rationally is evident if you actually READ any of his speeches. They are disordered, incoherent, contradictory. They are a collection of comments rather than an organized discussion moving toward some end.

What's strange is that so many millions of seemingly intelligent people can listen to this garbage and not understand what they are really hearing. It leads to the second conclusion: that liberals are no longer capable of analytical thought either. Their desires blind their reason. Otherwise they would surely see that although there are phrases, clauses, and sometimes whole sentences in clinton's speeches that make sense, the speeches themselves rarely make sense--and then, presumably, only because somebody else wrote them.

Read 'Dereliction of Duty'. One eye-opener...as if we actually NEEDED an eye-opener about Slick.

TO MIA: I haven't figured out if you're just one person or a conglomerate...but you are GOOOOOOOD!! I always enjoy your posts.

*Thanx to Cloud William for text and audio

 

LEHRER: President Bush, your closing statement, sir.

PRESIDENT BUSH: Three weeks from now--two weeks from tomorrow, America goes to the polls and you're going to have to decide who you want to lead this country ...

On foreign affairs, some think it's irrelevant. I believe it's not. We're living in an interconnected world...And if a crisis comes up, ask who has the judgment and the experience and, yes, the character to make the right decision?

And, lastly, the other night on character Governor Clinton said it's not the character of the president but the character of the presidency. I couldn't disagree more. Horace Greeley said the only thing that endures is character. And I think it was Justice Black who talked about great nations, like great men, must keep their word.

And so the question is, who will safeguard this nation, who will safeguard our people and our children? I need your support, I ask for your support. And may God bless the United States of America.

(Applause)

I would argue that liberals are a self-selected group and that the illogic is congenital. One has to be logically deficient to fall for that tripe in the first place.

[Miss Marple]

One of the greatest frauds of the 20th Century is the media's constant repetition that Clinton is a "wonderful speaker." His speeches are exactly as you have described them...laundry lists and banal comments, with no coherent theme and certainly lacking in poetry.

I was not impressed with his speechwriters, and in his desire for perfection and detail (as discussed in the Edith Efron article) he was always making last minute additions and changes, making the speech even more incoherent.

Yet week after week, month after month, year after year, Chris Matthews, Judy Woodruff, Tim Russert and the rest kept telling us he was a wonderful speaker.

It was and is a fraud.

[LADY J]

"1. Clinton possesses a perfectionism that interferes with the completion of his projects because his standards are never met. ..."

I disagree with this statement. It is NOT perfectionism that is interferring - it is because he says what people want to hear and has no concept or real interest in how to get his projects done. So far it has worked and all he has to do is make 'feel-good' promises.

Clinton is self-centered and is like an actor seeking the limelight. He doesn't really care about important things - the country - or other people. He does everything for show and for promoting himself.

He is not as intelligent as he is devious. His mind is busy because it is forever trying to figure out what the next con job he will need to pull off and how to cover up for the past promises that were never fulfilled.

That's why it's always 'someone else' who is at fault.

Great post, but nothing we didn't already know during his first term in office.

[Mia T]

I agree with you about the twofold nature of the pathology. Here, I believe Efron missed the mark.

clinton's cognitive dysfunction was sufficient to doom his presidency, but 9/11 required the synergy created by both dysfunctions-- cognitive and psychopathic.

[Mia T]

That achingly boring speech he gave at a D convention was supposed to have done him in....

[Miss Marple]

Isn't that so true? Remember how he had to go on Johnny Carson the next night and apologize? It was the most horrible keynote speech in my memory.

And yet, when he gave the SAME SORT OF SPEECH at his first State of the Union, we were told how brilliant he was.

Bah! Frauds and hypocrites in the media, and at every opportunity I remind people about this, because it is easy to prove. Clinton's speeches were boring. Everyone knows this except the media. Therefore, the media are either liars or morons (or a combination of both).
