Hillary-Russert melts the Ice Princess

Hillary Clinton is making a catastrophically bad performance on Tim Russert even as I type these words.

Hillary’s demeanor is the most shocking display of shiftiness since Dick Nixon said he was not a crook. Clinton, for all of her self proclaimed vast experience over thirty-five years of suffering the slings and arrows of outrageous Republican attack spent the first half hour in a most uncomposed state. Evita made no eye contact with either Russert or the viewer through the camera. The only exceptions have been moments where the withering Arctic glare has alerted Russert that danger awaits further question.

The content has been the classic Clintonian dissembling. Evita has repeatedly attacked Russert for either taking her words and those of the dissembler in chief, Brother Bill, out of context. Several difficult questions were simply left unanswered as Hillary slipped behind the veil of “you’re very good at that Tim”, which apparently means asking questions the Clinton propaganda machine find inconvenient.

Hillary rejects progress in Iraq that much was clear. Hillary’s economic plan is plan is purely pander. Provide government bail out for people who were the victims of sub-prime mortgage lenders. She talked about “stimulating the economy” without saying how (beyond mortgage bail out, that is).

Hillary advocates more transparent government. Of course, the Clinton Administration papers remain shrouded in greater secrecy than the inner workings of the vast right wing conspiracy that confronts Hillary’s frequent departure from factual reality. Such doublespeak is second nature since Hillary discovered Orwell in Eighth Grade.

Hillary’s supporters have filed a lawsuit to limit caucus locations in Nevada. Clinton’s first statement was to deny her relationship with those of her campaign officials who commenced the Nevada lawsuit, albeit not in that capacity per se. Clinton’s further explanation defended the objectives of the lawsuit while disregarding the affect of the lawsuit on suppressing Obama turnout. Yes, Hillary we remember your tactics. Like the good Maoist she truly is, Hillary knows that a loss at the ballot box can be forestalled or set aside with a well timed lawsuit.

The Clinton attack line is clearly and unmistakably Obama’s lack of ability to actually be President in the event of election. Oh yeah, this is becoming a very un-civil war in Democrat land.
