How Long Until Hillary Pukes?

One would think that motion sickness would be an inevitable consequence of such wild gyrations.

After spending most of the year trying to pass herself off as a moderate, Mrs. Clinton has more recently been tacking radically left, particularly this week with her speech to a gaggle of greenstremist Bush-haters the other day and her meeting with not-so-crypto-Marxist agitator and Prince Charles drag queen doppelganger Cindy Sheehan yesterday.

Apparently that meeting was supposed to be secret, judging from the damage control mode the thick chick from Chappaquah lunged into today:

2008 presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton scrambled yesterday to put some distance between herself and Cindy Sheehan, after word of her private meeting with the anti-American "Peace Mom" was reported by the Village Voice.

While Sheehan herself gushed afterwards that her Hillary sitdown went "fabulously," the former first lady sounded a good deal less enthusiastic.

In comments guaranteed to infuriate the Moveon.org crowd, Clinton began by
noting that she had met earlier in the day with about 20 moms from American Gold
Star Mothers, who vehemently disagreed with Sheehan.

"My bottom line is that I don’t want their sons to die in vain," she told the Voice.

Wasn't John Kerry's fatal flaw his constant flip-flopping? His blatant, almost oblivious zig-zagging on one issue after another based upon the PR needs of the moment and what he and his overpopulated stable of advisers and stategists and fixers and capos thought would get traction on any given day? The end result was that after a while the only thing people remembered about him was not what he stood for, but that he stood for nothing. Which, in a time of war made a disastrous contrast with the steadfast, rooted-like-old-growth-redwood, WYSIWYG George Bush.

I'm starting to get that same feel about Hillary, and the '08 cycle won't begin for another sixteen months.

Like I said the other day, she has no fence-mending to do with her ideological compadres in the fever swamps, no matter what the Kossacks claim. They'll be with her when the time comes, no matter how much she tacks to the right.

I would never have guessed that Hillary Clinton even knew what insecurity was, much less display it herself. Looks like she may need hubby to get her where they both want to return more than she'll ever publicly admit.

But the subsequent Reign of Terror will all be worth it.

UPDATE 9/24: Never mind motion sickness, Mrs. Clinton is trying to give herself whiplash:

2008 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton praised anti-American activist Harry Belafonte on Thursday after Belafonte charged that U.S. foreign policy had "wrecked the planet."...

The former calypso singer's anti-U.S. rant won immediate praise from Hillary, who stepped up to the microphone and told the crowd: "What Harry said is so important."

Even as a segue this sounded like an unqualified, if a tad vague, endorsement of the bananaman's trademark seditious ravings. Moving onto to one of her pet scams, Hillary rhetorically rode to the rescue of an American democracy people like her are trying to corrupt into meaninglessness:

In quotes aired nationally by radio host Rush Limbaugh, Clinton explained that in last year's presidential election, "we heard a lot . . . about moral values. And you know as well as I do that there's a big move on to get people to forget that it's not only private morality, but public morality that needs to be looked at and considered."

That's code phraseology for socialism, in case you were wondering.

Hillary then charged that the Bush Administration had made "a concerted effort to make it even harder for poor people and non-English-speaking people and elderly people to vote in this country."

Notice her choice of words here. "Poor people" and "non-English-speaking people" and "elderly people" - not American citizens. There are billions of "people" in the categories she mentioned, but the proportion that are actually entitled to vote in American elections is substantially less. But she isn't making that distinction because she doesn't want it made at all. Democrats cannot win nationally with just Americans voting, so Mrs. Clinton wants to make it as easy as possible to scam the system, whether it be illegal aliens, felons, and/or "people" voting multiple times. You know, the kind of thing that got and then kept Hugo Chavez in power in now-communist Venezuela.

The irony of the same woman who wanted - wants - to force socialized medicine on this country, including a national ID card and accompanying database on every U.S. citizen (sorry, every "participant") balking at the notion of requiring so simple, straightforward a voting safeguard as requiring that voters show ID before casting their ballots is enough to make one's back teeth hurt.

But for people like her, winning is all that matters, not how she gets there or what she destroys along the way.

And that's what makes her presence at this Congressional Black Caucus event - which including Harlem congressman Charlie Rangel equating President Bush to Bull Connor - so bizarre.

What's next? Another joint appearance with Senator McCain to endorse his phony endorsement of intelligent design?

UPDATE 9/25: Round and round and round she goes, where she stops, nobody knows....

Mrs. Clinton warns that if President Bush manages to change the SCOTUS enough to overturn Roe v. Wade, America will become like communist Romania, where dictator Nicolae Ceauşescu used to force women to have a minimum of five children each for eugenical reasons:

"There would be many places in the country that would criminalize [abortion]," Clinton says in a new videotaped message posted to her Senate campaign web site. "They might even send women and doctors to prison."...

"It would go in the direction that I saw in my travels, where, you know, in China they mandated you could only have one child. And in some places, like Romania during the Communist era, they mandated that you must have five children."

So much for cultivating the pro-life vote. But then she turns around and leaves the aforementioned Harry Belefonte's "important words" behind and publicly opposes the proposed pro-Islamist, America-hating International "Freedom Center":

Senator Hillary Clinton is opposing a freedom museum planned for ground zero, citing concerns raised by the families of the World Trade Centre victims who say the proposed museum would dishonour the dead....

"I am troubled by the serious concerns that family members and first responders have expressed to me," Clinton said Friday. "I cannot support the IFC."

Clinton said she does not think plans should move forward until the rebuilding agency, Lower Manhattan Development Corporation, addresses the families' concerns.

I'll say it again (and probably not for the last time): Hillary Clinton is morphing into John Kerry before our very eyes, and it isn't even 2006 yet.

Stay tuned - and keep the barf bags handy.

UPDATE 9/26: Looks like I'm not the only pundit to take notice of Hillary's PR schitzophrenia:

One great irony is that Hillary Clinton figured [that Bushophobia is a political loser] out long ago. She realized she needed to rise above this pettiness and demonstrate an appreciation for the global evil we face in the War on Terror, among other things.

But just when she had almost extricated herself - opportunistically - from the Democratic "stupid" quagmire, she was jerked right back into it by the formidably powerful crazies that dominate the party today. Hillary just got trounced in an unofficial poll among the far-left kooks - hundreds of thousands of them - and she's understandably nervous. Properly chastened, she has started hurling obligatory invectives at President Bush again.

Becoming Lurch in a skirt isn't going to help her, period.

But there's still plenty of time to recover, right? She'll pull out of this anxiety fit and get back to Clinton-style triangulation, right?

God, I hope not.
