Quaestor said...: Martin O'Malley, Bernie Sanders, and Hillary! are all scheduled to be executed by firing squad. The first one they lead out is O'Malley. The stand him against a wall and take aim. Suddenly O'Malley shouts, "Tornado!" and points to the horizon. The firing squad all turn to look, and O'Malley runs away. Next up is Sanders. They stand him against the wall and take aim. Sanders shouts, "Earthquake!" The firing squad dives for cover, and Sanders runs away. Finally they bring out Hillary! They stand her against the wall and make ready. Hillary! thinks quickly. How can I get out of this, she ponders, they won't fall for tornado or earthquake again. Hillary! thinks some more, and has an inspiration. The firing squad takes aim. Suddenly Hillary! shouts,"Fire!"; 11/17/15, 1:19 AM
Grackle said...: Yes, it is really fucking funny that a 68 year woman who aspires to the Presidency, and has a good chance to win, is often "confused." I guess we should start asking what Huma Abedin's plans for America may be.

MadisonMan said...: I think the proper response to this is concern for the Country. Hillary is the front-runner. If she wins the nomination, she could be elected.

Who will be controlling her access, smoothing out the confusion, when she is President? Who will be the new Edith Wilson?; 11/17/15, 1:28 AM
Beldar said...: If Hillary is finally obliged to throw Huma under the bus, her one-line comeback to every question about this will be:

"Okay, now you're asking me not about my own emails, but instead about emails written about me that were sent behind my back by Mrs. Carlos Danger?"; 11/17/15, 2:17 AM
CStanley said...: I think the "confused" part could be passed over (subordinates expressing their frustration about the boss's Iinattention to scheduling) but there's also the dig about her taking a nap. Ouch!; 11/17/15, 5:24 AM
TheThinMan said...: Hillary! is so confused she goes to Taco Bell to pay her phone bill.; 11/17/15, 6:14 AM
Brando said...: I'm sure they'll try and spin this as out of context or something, but this will work against the narrative her bootlickers have tried to push of Hillary as "on top of things" (remember the "texts from Hillary" meme?). Instead we have someone heavily reliant on her aides (as are most leaders, but it's the choice of aides and the judgment in hearing their advice that matters, and Hillary's judgment has been poor), prone to political calculation (as are most politicians, but Hillary takes it to an extreme), and utterly lacking in personal skills. A close examination of her Sec of State tenure will show that despite starting that job with the advantage of being a well known former First Lady she proved unable to lead one of the most important Cabinet departments and Obama found himself unable to trust her (note that even with Biden out, Obama STILL hasn't endorsed his former Secretary of State even when the only competition is a crazy old socialist who technically isn't even a Democrat, and a former MD governor who is polling at Pataki levels).

Hillary's a mess, and this country has been warned.; 11/17/15, 6:31 AM
Rusty said...: And yet the usual suspects look upon her as this countrys last best hope.
Or Bernie Sanders.
Who is also confused.; 11/17/15, 6:46 AM
Bob R said...: Meh. Normal "the boss didn't understand my insightful analysis" emails within the staff. (But it does make for a lot of fair to middlin' jokes.) The creepiest email I've seen is the Sid Bumenthal as Renfield missive. The royal family of Little Rock seems to accept that as their due.; 11/17/15, 7:00 AM
John henry said...: In another note I pointed out that Hilary! had already had a fairly major stroke. Someone else has pointed out that that she may have had some smaller ones since. She definitely does seem confused these days. Stroke(s) would be a logical explanation.

I had also mentioned the Wilson experience where Woody was completely incapacitated by a stroke and his wife was, essentially, being the president.

Last night I recalled, from the 70's a series of Doonsebury cartoons. Honey, Raule Duke's Chinese sweetie, was assistant to Mao. At that time Mao was only speaking through Honey and she said "I can just make up whatever I want and say Mao said it. I am really the one running the country." (recalling from memory)

Is this sort of what Huma is doing for Hilary? Hard to say but is seems like she is very close to what Hilary says. If Hilary has another stroke, will we get Huma running the country behind the scenes rather than Bill? He is not looking so good these days herself.

Huma can come out and say "President Clinton says, give lots of money to the university in Jeddah." Where her mother teaches.

Or, since her mother is effectively a Saudi hostage, something darker?

John Henry; 11/17/15, 8:17 AM
John henry said...: Can't find the Doonesbury strip I had in mind but I did find this about the Honey character:

Her previous assignment was as translator to Mao himself. She revealed to Duke that she was one of the few people who still understood him with his rural dialect and health problems, and even she wasn't sure what he said sometimes. Specifically, she's afraid that she might have caused the Cultural Revolution by mistranslating a lunch order.

Not to mention her having to take Mao's indecisive nature into account when she translated for him. One occasion had him tell her to send word for the Great Wall of China to be destroyed. She tells him the next day that it had been dismantled. A week later, he told her that he changed his mind and that he wanted the entire Wall rebuilt exactly as it was. Honey tells the Chairman that she had personally devised a plan which got the entire wall rebuilt in one day. Honey reveals that she actually spent the whole week watching TV, but "He thinks I'm a genius." (to which Duke replies "In a way, Honey, you are.")

John Henry; 11/17/15, 8:25 AM
John henry said...: Perhaps this is a matter for Laslo, should he decide to take on the job:

What about Huma's lady parts? Although born in the US, she spent much of her growing up (age 2-18 IIRC) in Saudi Arabia. Her Pakistani mother has supported FGM as the Muslim way in the past.

Is Huma intact?

Did Carlos Danger know the state of the lady parts before the wedding night?

Is this what caused him to run off the rails?

Do we really want Huma's hand on the throttle (or anywhere else) in the White House?

The Cracker Emcee Refulgent said...: Since the mid-'90's Hillary has had the detached, somewhat halting, air of someone on strong anti-depressants or anti-anxiety medication. It's part of why she's such an accomplished liar. She's too suppressed to be nervous or overly defensive.; 11/17/15, 8:39 AM

Char Char Binks, Esq. said...: Dems and their geriatric front-runners are going to lose big, just like McCain. O'Malley could be their best hope, if he can learn to bow low enough to BLM, but then he'd lose the white man vote. At least the Dems have the illegal alien vote and the early-and-often vote in the bag.; 11/17/15, 1:59 PM
mikee said...: Hillary has the votes of all Democrat-led precincts in the US, and more importantly, in Florida and Ohio. And as we have seen from the imbroglios of VP Al Gore and Senator Franken in their elections, and many other Dem candidates, where there are votes needed there will be votes found.

All Republicans have to do to win is get enough votes to have more votes than there were Democrat voters, plus enough votes to have more votes than the Democrat precincts will find after the election.

Letting the Dems report their totals first, as was done in WI a while back quite by accident, is the only way to win.; 11/18/15, 11:41 AM
