On Tuesday evening, January 8th 2008 around 10:30pm EST, all of the conservative douche bag ass wipe pundits in our country breathed a collective sigh of relief. Hillary Clinton won the New Hampshire primary.More vehement than any ardent liberal, the Republican Party and their imbecilic propaganda machine want Hillary Clinton to win the 2008 election. How would they define themselves if she didn't win? Who would they have to go after? How would they be able to sell their advertising time to justify remaining on the air?
Sure, they could throw a few things at Obama..call him the "Magic Negro"...get some people like Al Sharpton all riled up...but it wouldn't be the same. Obama makes too many people feel empowered. He is too well liked, even by some conservatives, and he is into that whole post partisan thing. Where's the fun in that?
I watched with glee after Obama won Iowa and heard Rush Limbaugh, at one moment elated about Hillary coming in third and the next, obviously despondent over the fact that should Obama win the nomination for the Democrats, the campaign will be about the issues. His words said he wanted it but the tone in his voice sounded afraid. Scared, actually. If the campaign becomes about the issues, as opposed to the childish bullshit we hear on a daily basis from conservative pundits, they will be exposed for the frauds they are-completely lacking any substance and devoid of any real intelligence.
If you take away Hillary Clinton, how in the world are you going to get people to be pissed off and frightened? So afraid that they will vote for whomever the Republicans put up there. I submit that the game plan for the Republican Party in 2008 is this: Hillary Clinton. That's all they have left in the tank. They are going to have their asses handed to them in Congress this fall. They hate all their candidates and can't agree on any of them. They need Hillary to win the nomination in such a bad way you are starting to hear the hopefulness each time a new poll comes out with her ahead in a certain state.
Now, some have asked me: what will you do if Obama wins? What will you blog about? Well, I imagine that this blog will change. I'm sure I will crank out a rant or two on video games and the butt zombies that play them. Or a nice literary dicking of Minnesota drivers. But I suspect, for the most part, this will be a blog that focuses more on the work that needs to be done to get us back to a better place. It will be a hub for the New Camelot, if you will, that I pray is coming soon to theaters in January of 2009.
But conservative pundits like Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, and Dennis Praeger? What will they do? In the beginning they might try to throw a fly in the ointment or a monkey in the wrench but after a few months they will just look like the children they are...foolish and silly. More importantly, they will look as though the world has passed them by--moving on to more worthwhile endeavors with a high degree of emotional intelligence.
They need Hillary. They need her on that wall. They have to have someone to crucify. It is their rasion d'etre and they won't survive without her.

No shit, they need her on that wall. Nice Jack reference btw. The Republican Party without the Clintons to rip on every day would be nothing. They always have to have an enemy to fight and Obama isn't really much of one.He's too damn nice.
They could manufacture one but when you have such a good "bad guy" like Hillary, it's hard to let go.
I’m confident that a Commander in Chief with such insignificant experience at, well, anything, should prove most entertaining and provide volumes of material for pundits and late night comedians alike.
Mark I agree, they would love to have her out there. They have no ideo how to take down Barack or Edwards. But her............
"a Commander in Chief with such insignificant experience"
You mean just like President Bush? Dave, he had NO foreign policy experience at all so why was he considered qualified?
Executive branch candidates (such as Governors...Bush, Clinton, Reagan, Carter, etc) are generally more qualified to be President than senators. It’s simply the nature of the job. A junior level Senator would simply be lower on the experience scale. Obama is a 1-page resume type of candidate. (…double spaced.)
Mark you're kidding,,, right?? Bush had FABULOUS Foreign Policy experience. What better experience could you need or have to become President than sharing the finest chargrilled burgers at the ranch with Dad's consultants Jim, Dick, Colin or Condi to hear first hand ancedotal experience about foreign policy priority number one: expanding access to oil supplies in the persian gulf and hanging out with those stupid saudis, two: kicking raghead asses in the desert with some of the F-ing coolest gear out there, as described by the schwarzkopf in jeans and snakeskins or arms lobbyists with (dollar) bills to sign -- a lot of which would nicely build on foreign policy bermuda traingle three, helping israel beat the crap out of terrorist scum to hell (+ or minus civilians those bastards always shield themselves with) with stuff Sony can only dream of adding to its playstation in 5 years' time... Like, are you kidding me Mark? Who needs to know more than that? Who needs Obama's worthless piece of Harvard phD paper and Senatorial experience for the love of God? (When Cheneys gonna pull the strings anyway.... :)
Well, I can't argue w/ that. Mom always said, "Always wear clean underwear and never argue with crazy people."
Dave, I'd still like to hear what experience you thought George Bush had before he took office, especially foreign policy, and why he was better equipped to handle it then Barack Obama.
' Executive branch candidates (such as Governors...Bush, Clinton, Reagan, Carter, etc) are generally more qualified to be President than senators. '
Governors don't have more Foreign Policy experience than Senators -- they don't deal with, take responsibility for or decide foreign policy issues or the national direction. They only deal with the outside world on a jobs-economy-local state level. Very valuable experience in itself, but hardly more qualifying from a foreign policy perspective, which is what Mark was referring to and what JD responded to.
If anything, as the nation's legislative branch (with Congress) and the purse string holders (with Congress,) Senators have many more opportunities, direct access channels and official debate forums on national policy shaping committees, to influence and write the nation's foreign policies.
The only Executive Branch that has any real power in terms of dealing with the outside world, is ofcourse the Office of the President and Vice Pres.
Just referring to FP qualifications, which JD's statement would have no bearing on, that Governors are somehow more qualified to become President. But if you're related to the President, you definitely have more face time with foreign policy experience.
President Bush demonstrated, as another dynastic family might, that that kind of experience doesn't guarantee being put to good use.
...I can only explain it to you; I can't comprehend it for you.
Yeah, dave, I get the domestic policy thing with governors. That's fine. But I still don't understand why he is more qualified at foreign policy.
And, remember, Obama has had more experience than just 4 years as a Senator. How about 8 years in his state legislature? Or all the time before that in his community. All politics are local, dave, you know!
Ooooo, that's right...the "state" legislature. ...well, I just take it all back then...
Served in his community? According to the Hillary campaign, the only thing he served to this community was dope on a street corner. ...but I suppose for the left, that's just considered rounding out his 'life experiences'.
