So what is Hillary to do?

Show a little nip... oh no wait, the Aniston effect.

That strategy worked so well for the anti-war nuts in '68.

Hildebeast will just wait for the early delegate leader on '08 to have an accident. People tend to die around them.

Morris has become a master at stating the obvious and sounding insightful.

Show a little nip...

If she threatened to show a little nip... Well, I still wouldn't vote for her. But I'd gladly see her as UN Secretary General, provided she promised to keep her top on.

I can't believe you're quoting Dick Morris on anything.

That said, Hillary can't straddle some unknown quantity between 'no' and 'yes' like Bill can.

She is too shrill, she can't baffle with bullshit, she can't pull off the elder-statesman-thoughtfully-biting-his-lip thing.

Yeah, but I bet she does the "bug-eyed, gibbering, spittle-spraying insensate rage" thing quite well. I just get that vibe from her. She seems like the kind of chick who goes from "cooing gently in your ear" to "utter harpy" in about five seconds flat. (Subtract four seconds if she's having her period.)

That's why I would have loved to see the fireworks when Bill told Hill the truth about the U.S.S. Monica. Her bug-eyed, neck-vein-throbbing rage would have been a glorious sight to behold....

Please. She knew the truth all along, she just didn't expect DNA evidence to show up. In other words, she did get enraged, but it was because B.J. got caught.

The interesting thing about Morris' analysis to me is how it captures his "unconventional, but not really" style. He says stuff that *seems* daring and insightful, but he's just totally steeped in MSM Conventional Wisdom assumptions, and as usual, he's completely value-free (i.e., there's no Right or Wrong except what gets votes.)

Here, it's the implicit assumption that being on the "Surrender now" side of the Democratic Party is the right, smart place to be. Clearly, Morris buys into all the "we're doomed" CW.

Does anyone remember her debate with [name?] for NY senator? Remember when he invaded her personal space?

She gave the Cheney sneer - BTFO!,

Which pretty much says it all. Look, I can think of a million better responses from a classy, educated, self-assured woman trying to be a senator. She could have made a joke, made a jibe, grabbed his arm and danced, politely moved away. Margaret Thatcher probably wouldn't have even been phased by the move.

But of course, first you have to be a classy, educated, self-assured woman.

QED.

I think Hillary's conundrum illustrates why there are no great "social-democrat" leaders in these times. Someone like Hillary is constantly torn between the demands of responsible governance and the demands of an irresponsible left-wing base. The best practitioners (Clinton, Blair) of this balancing act can only succeed in holding the competing forces at bay for a period of time, but they can not make any lasting achievements.

The woman is nothing but ambition and icy political maneuvering, that's it. Any actual convictions she might have had have turned to dust by now. The idea of anyone that addicted to power elected president scares the shit out of me.

Actually Ace, the original
"Fuck an intern" was more poignant and keeping with the spirit of AOSHQ.

I'm a little worried about this analysis since it appears Hillary may pull it off. Two questions:

1. How accurate have Morris's predictions been generally?

2. How often has he been proven right when he saw something that was going to doom Hillary?

Be very afraid.

Nail an intern

Why, I'd be her intern. Oh yeah, baby. That's the way I like it. There's nothing sexier than fat ankles. I just wanna...wanna...wait, the BZ is wearing off! Where am I? Oh Christ, is that Dick Cheney's cock? I wanna go home...

Just wait 'til she opens her mouth. Like fingernails on a chalkboard.

All the warmth and resonance of tearing metal.

A Hillary speech is a tale told by an idiot. Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Doug C,

All of that is exactly what you’re looking for in a political analyst. The MSN’s conventional wisdom is based on real political calculations made by real politicians. I think the problem is that the MSN acts on the conventional wisdom instead of merely analyzing it.

Plus, most political analysis is only good for a snapshot in time. A politician may change strategy altogether or adjust it to defend against criticism. Analysis shouldn’t be thought of as a forecast. Pundits do predict things on TeeVee but they know it’s bullshit to try.

I think Dick Morris gets a bad rap on this. I don’t particularly care if he lives or dies more than any other person, but I like his stuff. It’s simple stuff, yes, but not everybody reads blogs and plays attention to politics, so. . .

The left-wing demacratic peace train has derailed before it got to where the wicked witch abd her flying monkies were waiting
