The
Democrats are confusing Gore's density with his
weight. As
any high school senior (not from the public
schools) knows, GRAVITAS does not depend on a
mass's chemical composition or density. A glob of
chewed up GOREtobacco the mass of the Sun will have
the same gravitational effect on the Earth as the
Sun does. Hillary
Clinton says it's a great opportunity to
unite the nation. (The way she's united New
York?) But the Clintons are never so
polarizing as when they are intent on uniting
us. How can that be? Maybe it's their
perfectly fabricated authenticity. The
Nineties have had much the same effect,
stirring the same vague dissatisfactions --
and sparking sudden outbursts of temper. What
was it that poor, embarrassed David Brinkley,
thinking his mike was off, said after the
president's victory speech in '96? "We all
look forward with great pleasure to four
years of wonderful, inspiring speeches, full
of wit, poetry, music, love and affection,
plus more goddam nonsense.'' Hey,
what
a
party!
John Podhoretz
recently asked, "Whence
comes hillary clinton's reputation for
brilliance?"
For the answer, he intuitively, rather brilliantly in
fact, looked to her anatomy and noted,"This isn't the
first time she's shot herself in the foot." The above
anatomical analysis supports the Podhoretz thesis.
Notwithstanding The Pod's erroneous conclusions
concerning Ian Hunter
recently observed that our leaders are shrinking. "From a
Churchill (or, for that matter, a Margaret Thatcher) to a
Tony Blair; from Eisenhower to Clinton; from Diefenbaker
to Joe Clark; from Trudeau to Chretien -- we seem
destined to be governed by pygmies." The pols
understand their anatomical limitations well; they
attempt to mitigate them with veneer. And so we suffer
mindless alpha-beta-beelzebubba grotesquerie. .
. and
rhinestone-studded-and-tented kleptocracy. With all the media
genuflecting before the press-conference podium of bill
clinton, it bears remarking yet again that the clinton
intellect (an oxymoron even more jarring than
AlGoreRhythm and meant to encompass the cognitive ability
of both clintons) is remarkable only for its utter
ordinariness, its lack of creative spark, its lack of
analytic precision, its lack of depth. The clintons'
fundamental error: They are too arrogant and dim-witted
to understand that the demagogic process in this
fiberoptic age isn't about counting spun heads; it's
about not discounting circumambient brains. Politicos and
reporters are not rocket scientists . . . Professions tend
to be self-selected, intellectually homogeneous subgroups
of Homo sapiens. Great intellects (especially these days)
do not generally gravitate towards careers in the media
or politics. Mediocre, power-obsessed types with poor
self-images do. Thus, clinton
mediocrity goes undetected primarily because of media
mediocrity. ("Mediocrity" and "media" don't come from the
same Latin root (medius) for no reason.) Insofar as the
clintons are concerned, the media confuse form with
substance, smoothness with coherence, data-spewing with
ratiocination, pre-programmed recitation with real-time
analysis, an idiosyncratic degeneracy with
creativity. Jimmy
Breslin
agrees. In
Hillary
Is the 'Me-First'
Lady,
Breslin laments: Listen carefully
to the clintons. You will hear a shallow parody of the
class president. Not only do they say nothing; they say
nothing with superfluous ineloquence. Their speeches are
sophomoric, shopworn, shallow, specious. Platitudinous
pandering piled atop p.c. cliché In seven years,
they have, collectively, uttered not one memorable word
save, "It was a vast right-wing conspiracy," "I did not
have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky,"and,
"It all depends on what the meaning of 'is'
is." Even the clintons'
attempts at alliteration fall flat. Compare Agnew's
(Safire's) "nattering nabobs of negativism" with
clinton's "preachers of pessimism," an impotent,
one-dimensional, plagiaristic echo (its apt
self-descriptiveness notwithstanding). Before they
destroy their backs along with their reputations, media
gentry genuflecting at the altar of the clinton brain
should consider Edith
Efron's, Can
the President Think? A
wasted
brain
is a terrible thing.
Rumor
has it William Jefferson Clinton himself is
to recite Honest Abe's lines in this New
Year's Eve pageant. Whoever writes these
scripts has a natural talent for irony. For
some irrepressible reason, one cannot help
but think of that costume party in "The
Manchurian Candidate,'' complete with Red
Queen and Abe Lincoln in stovepipe hat and
fake beard.
hillary clinton's heart and
nerve, he basically has it right. Anatomy is
destiny...
"At
the end
of all these years and years that are being celebrated
this week, the
national press of
America consists of people with dried minds and
weak backbones
and the pack of them can't utter a new phrase for the
language or show
the least bit of anger at a business or profession or
trade or whatever
this business is that
is dying of mediocrity."

Do you suppose Algore is looking for someone with Levitas?
Hilarious! I am referring the UvCer's here. Another great job, MiaT!! Thanks so much!
Nope. Veritas.
WOW!
g = m1 x m2 / d2 GRAVITAS of the ticket is inversely proportional to philosophical difference, i.e., the shorter the distance between m1 and m2 the greater the GRAVITAS. clinton-Gore's 3rd Law of GRAVITAS: For Democratic masses, "too much" Gore GRAVITAS makes permissible zero GRAVITAS for Gore's Veep. (The gasbags, airheads and useful idiots actually said this.) Again, this is incorrect and reveals a total lack of understanding of Newtonian physics. The Democrats are confusing Gore's density with his weight.
Mia
You have it exactly right.
Since Gore's 'Gravitas' is zero, it doesn't matter who the VP nominee is. The 'formula' proves the end result. Zero times any number is ZERO.( in old-fashioned math anyway)
Veritas
Excellent.
I certainly never knew that young Ms. Rodham was President of the Young Republicans at Wellesley as documented in the Wellesley memo. Life is strange.
The only thing that this current bunch ever brought to the White House was demitasse ...
Your exposition on GRAVITAS has made my day! Thank you most kindly!
Hilarious!
Great stuff! Thanks, you made my day.
