Colonel Klebb’s Lies are Pathological.
Frank Rich, of pratfall fame, analyzes the current ooze from the pot of Clintoonery. Rich prattles along with the usual mumbling techniques so cherished by the New York Times and then wonders:
“Which brings us back to our question: Why would so smart a candidate play political Russian roulette with virtually all the bullet chambers loaded?” [1]
All this appears after his first sentence acknowledged that all politicians lie.
The analysis proceeds with:
“What’s been lost in the furor over Mrs. Clinton’s Bosnia fairy tale is that her disastrous last recycling of it, the one that blew up in her face, kicked off her major address on the war, timed to its fifth anniversary. Still unable to escape the stain of the single most damaging stand in her public career, she felt compelled to cloak herself, however fictionally, in an American humanitarian intervention that is not synonymous with quagmire.”[2] [Emphasis is mine in all quotes]
This tangled syntax supposedly states that Hillary chose a war we ‘won’ to show that she was a player in the game, sincere, dedicated and brave. This is a fiction of another flavor. Rich persists in his delusion with this fluff:
“That Mrs. Clinton’s campaign kept insisting her Bosnia tale was the truth two days after The Post exposed it as utter fiction also shows the political perils of 20th-century analog arrogance in a digital age. Incredible as it seems, the professionals around Mrs. Clinton — though surely knowing her story was false — thought she could tough it out. They ignored the likelihood that a television network would broadcast the inevitable press pool video of a first lady’s foreign trip — as the CBS Evening News did on Monday night — and that this smoking gun would then become an unstoppable assault weapon once harnessed to the Web.”[3]
“The Clinton campaign’s cluelessness about the Web has been apparent from the start, and not just in its lagging fund-raising.”[4]
And, this essentially concludes the essay before digressing on the Obama phenomenon and how he beat a similar system:
Frank Rich has forgotten the Marxian Saul Alinsky ideology [5] that drives Hillary. The salient fact is that: It does not matter if you lie if you get votes!
Hillary has always depended upon the press to overlook are argue for her lies and this worked well as the drive-by media stooged for her and carried her many sour waters for almost two decades. Hillary works on her fables intensely and perfumes and perfects these scripted and well-rehearsed skits with every intention of using them to effect.
Rich is too blunt here and is too hard on Hillary. He now gives Obama a slight lift in the political wars and does so for no apparent reason. Hillary really is a monster and will lose this election even thought the New York Times endorsed her sorry case. Too many Democrats hate her guts, with good reason. Hillary slithers away here with the comment that she ‘misspoke.’ Done .
All this is proof that the editorial staff of the New York Times, the Walter Duranty Papers, is in disarray, confused and ready to implode over yet another lost political race.
