Live from New York...Vote Hillary!

[Ashy Larry]

Former Saturday Night Live writer Adam McKay has some interesting thoughts on the "support" that Mrs. Clinton has been getting from SNL lately:

Let's face it, the Republicans love Hillary Clinton. They quietly in their heart of hearts pine for her to win the democratic nomination. The Republican Governor of Florida is rolling out the red carpet for a second primary which will favor Clinton. Pat Buchanan can't be quiet about how much he respects Hillary. Even Ann Coulter pal and SNL sketch writer Jim Downey has written several sketches portraying Hillary as picked on by the press. Downey is one of the all time great sketch writers but I know he's no Hillary fan. Don't get me wrong, I like Hillary and still think Bill Clinton is one of our great presidents. But it's weird. Weird like....well, Pat Buchanan praising Hillary Clinton.

For those not familiar with McKay, he co-wrote and directed this Bush parody for ACT in 2004: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkqrI3IibYI

1. And how do you explain Tucker Carlson kissing Obamas butt everyday?

[Beacool]

2. Don't forget Tweety and the twinkling sensation going up his leg......

:rofl:

[Ashy Larry]

6. Don't forget

Rush Limbaugh, Bill Cunningham, and Ann Coulter have all endorsed Mrs. Clinton.

[Hoof Hearted]

7. Yeah, I kept hearing Tweety's voice saying "OH OBAMA - More! MORE MORE!"

He's lucky he was behind a desk that day. If not, he would have needed plastic underwear.

[Hepburn]

4. Tucker....

....kissing Obama's butt???

So......you support Hillary and watch Tucker. Figures.

5. Try to stay on topic

McKay's post is about a pal of Ann Coulter writing sketches that portray Hillary as the victim of media bias. Essentially echoing the talking points of her campaign.

[Yes We Did]

14. You must have missed it today.

3. The Right wing hate machine is powered by Clinton hate.

Without a Clinton to abuse, their ratings and popularity go down.

[Skoods]

8. You guys..

Should respect the Clintons more considering without them the Democrats wouldn't have had a President since 1980.

[anonymous171]

9. I wasn't dissing them.

I was just making an observation.

[Mooney]

10. I voted for Bill Clinton twice

I'll disrespect him whenever I want.

[Ashy Larry]

11. There is no way to know that

You are assuming that none of Clinton's primary opponents in 92 could have beaten GHWB. You are also forgetting the Perot factor.

[Skoods]

15. Tsongas was his main competition

and a liberal New England ex-Senator with cancer issues would have not won.

[Ashy Larry]

16. Another assumption.

Also incorrect. Jerry Brown won more delegates than Tsongas.

18. thanks to them we lost congress and our good name

Dems only started getting their good name back thanks to Dean and the 50 state
strategy that Hillary avoids.

She doesn't have time for those "fly over" states.

A Dem president isn't much use with a GOP congress. Thats what you get with a Billary.

[Hoof Hearted]

12. Honestly, I think that's the ONLY reason Rush favors Clinton. He KNOWS the Dems are going to win.

This crap about who is "more electable" is just that, crap. He knows it. He's quite happy we are going to win for a few reasons. He's become IRRELEVANT, and it pisses him off mightily. He campaigned so hard to defeat McCain and nobody listened, nobody cared. He still has tons of listeners, but sometimes now - they dare to question him. They dare to vote as they see fit.

Since he knows that the Dems are unstoppable this go around the only question left for him is pretty much the same question I'm pretty sure he's asked himself for many years now. What is best for Rush? It's not that it's harder for him to rail against a black man, he doesn't have those kind of moral considerations. His best reason for picking Clinton is that it's soothing and familiar to him. He can work a little less and recycle a little more. He's lazy. The Clintons gave him the best years of his life and he wants them back, much like the rest of America.

13. You may be right

but I think you are ignoring the fact that Obama does do better with independents. For better or worse, independents tend to decide general elections.

19. doubtful

she's just too polarizing.

[Hoof Hearted]

20. And that is just a little too simplistic.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

17. "They influenced a primary for F's sake"

Now it's possible the corporate right wants her to win in order to keep afloat the huge economy of Hillary hate bumper stickers that if my numbers are correct generates over 55 billion dollars in revenue for the south.* They also could be supporting her because after over seven years of the absolute incompetence that is the Bush administration they finally get that corporate welfare and tax breaks for millionaires are not good for the economy. Or maybe they think she's Hilary Swank.

But more likely, in fact, screw it, for sure, they are backing her the way I root for Nenad Krstic to cover Keven Garnett so the Big Ticket can put up twenty and twenty on him.

And yes, it's sad that someone as capable as Hillary would be considered fodder for McCain, a "don't change horses in mid-stream, even when it takes that horse twelve years to cross that stream" kind of guy. Senator McCain just got the thumbs up from Bush. Isn't an endorsement from W like a job reference from that astronaut chick who lost it and wore diapers? Well, she is an astronaut and Bush is president.
