Awesome: Hillary mocks Obama; Update: “We are a nation at war”

Coming soon to a John McCain campaign commercial near you. Her point here is entirely fair, incidentally; near as I can tell, Obama’s master plan for uprooting the special interest kudzu in D.C. is to unleash his personal awesomeness and watch it wither in submission, like one of those fainting women at his rallies. Can’t wait. As for our gal, between this and yesterday’s “shame on you” finger-wag, I’m thinking that little passion play at the end of the debate last week about how everything’s going to be okay wasn’t so much a farewell as her way of telling America not to fret too much about Bambi when she takes off the gloves and starts swinging. He’ll be juuuuust fine. Tuesday night, baby. Bare knuckle.
I keep looking for that clip of Ed Harris trying to revive Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio near the end of “The Abyss” but I can’t find it on YouTube. Anyone know if it’s online? “Fight! Fiiiiight!”
Update: Heh. Fiiiiiiiight!
Update: Oh, the nutroots howling that’ll greet this tomorrow. By leftist lights, any criticism of a liberal from the right intimating that he’s a lightweight on matters of war is “fearmongering.” They expect it from the GOP; from Hillary, they’ll consider it unforgivable.
On the Barack Obama Phenomenon
I think that there is a certain phenomenon associated with this candidacy, and I am really struck by that because it is very much about him and his personality and his presentation. And that’s perfectly legitimate in politics, or any other walk of life, but I think it dangers or oversimplifies the complexity of the problems we face, the challenges of navigating our country through some difficult uncharted waters. We are a nation at war. That seems to be forgotten.

McCain or Obama.. Choose..
Chakra Hammer on February 25, 2008 at 12:10 AM
Well George Soros doesn’t have to choose. Heads or tails, someone he nurtured when they were weak will be in the White House. Now isn’t that special?
Igor R. on February 25, 2008 at 12:13 AM
Didn’t get the quote just right; but the section from 2:58 to 3:05 on th ‘Abyss’ clip should precede Hillary’s entrance into every campaign stop- and the upcoming debate.

Someone mind telling me when I was suppose to remember that? Before or after my shopping trip?

HELLO DADDY, HELLO MAMA (A Letter from Camp Obama)
Tune: “Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh (A Letter from Camp)”Original
Hello Daddy
Hello Mama
Here I am at
Camp Obama
Camp’s as pretty
As a painting
And they say we’ll have some fun if we stop fainting
Our Barack has
Gifts of healing
Stevie Wonder’s
Out four-wheeling
I met Oprah
Over dinner
Since she’s been here she’s got thirteen inches thinner
All the campers
Drink the Kool-Aid
That the counselors
At the school made
This is change we
Can believe in
‘Cause the campers who come in here won’t be leavin’
Now I just thought
I should buy ya
A small bust of
Our Messiah
You can put it
On your dashboard
It will guide and guard your car so it won’t crash more
Yes we can!
Oh Daddy, Mama!
Yes we can!
I love Obama!
Don’t tell me
I ought to find out facts
Of how
He plans to spend and tax
Yes we can!
I promise he will
Heal the holes
That cause the problems
In our souls
Oh please don’t make me say
Just how–
He’ll find a way
Got to stop now
Looks like we’re through
Camp Obama
Has a curfew
Every day it’s
Early rising
After “Washing of the Brains” it’s “Plagiarizing”
Wait a minute
What’s this gabbin’
Two new campers
In our cabin
See their nametags
Read the printin’
Seems the campers’ names are Bill and Chelsea Clinton!

Oh. My. God. First I start to feel bad for Hillary after she started to lose to Obamalicious, and now I’m cheering her on??
Anyone know any cheap, fast-track mental clinics?
amkun on February 25, 2008 at 2:01 AM
This is exactly what the republicans need, for hillary to take the gloves off. She will start hammering barry and he will show his true self, an egocentric, selfobsessed little ivy league elitist. And even better, if hillary really opens up so will michelle and things will get really good. barry and michelle will be greatly damaged when the general starts.

Nice way to inform us that Hitlery Robem Clinton vision of health care will take us into an Abyss before we can rid ourselves of her influence, and live again.
MSGTAS on February 25, 2008 at 8:08 AM
Hillary will probably take RI and Obama VT. Not that it matters!!!
jeanie on February 25, 2008 at 8:11 AM

And Hillary is not an egocentric, self-obsessed Ivy League elitist? Hmmmmmm.
Lehuster on February 25, 2008 at 8:32 AM
Amkum, I’ll be joining you in that clinic; probably as a permanent resident. I had to VOTE for her (early voting) and will actually caucus for her March 5th. Anything to muck them up, but I’ll need the long-sleeved jacket that ties in the back afterward.
michaelo on February 25, 2008 at 8:34 AM
YEEEEHAAAAA!!!!! Go ‘head on girlfriend! I kind of like her now. That’s some good s–t. That’s what she’s gotta do to this “guy”. I mean, I’d never vote for her, but she’ll kick his ass in a fight. Can you imagine being married to her and getting into a argument with her after hearing that?
LtE126 on February 25, 2008 at 9:24 AM
I’m rootin for (..ahg, retch..) Hillary as the (,,,retch, spit..) less of two evils. Then in November I’ll probably vote (..oh god…retch..ahg..RETCH..spit spit..) McCain as the lesser of two evils. Good Lord in Heaven, I can’t keep doin this.
Ernest on February 25, 2008 at 9:46 AM
Dale Tallon now the Blackhawks general manager used to do the color with Pat Foley here. Best. Combo. Evah. Dale used to say when two guys who weren’t known too much for fighting would square off, that the Ref’s would say the three most feared words in hockey…”let ‘em go”. If the p—y moderators do their job and shut the crowds up like they’re supposed to do (they won’t) Hill’s gonna b—h slap him.
LtE126 on February 25, 2008 at 10:01 AM
Much as I hate to agree with anything Hillary says I will this one time. Obama is long on promises and short on ways to deliver. There-will-be-pie-in-the-sky-bye-and-bye.
TooTall on February 25, 2008 at 10:52 AM
I heard on the news this weekend that here in Toledo we were going to experience a gust of arctic air…..
I was sure they were talking about Hillary’s appearance at a local high school.
crashman on February 25, 2008 at 11:34 AM
Why can’t I get that Blind Melon song out of my head when I look at her in that pantsuit?
Chuck Schick on February 25, 2008 at 12:26 PM
Now if we can just get Hillary to throw away that yellow jacket! She looks like a fat bumblebee in that thing.
rockmom on February 25, 2008 at 12:30 PM
I’ve been toying with this idea for a few days, but now I think that this lifelong Texas Republican (who will be holding his nose and voting for McCain in the general) is going to vote for Hillary in the Democratic primary. I would encourage any other Texans reading this to consider doing the same.
Kafir on February 25, 2008 at 1:21 PM
I agree that Obama is long on promises and short on ways to deliver. He’s a great motivational speaker, but all that does is charge a crowd to do… well, they have no idea what, but it’s at least enough motivation to go cast a vote for the guy. Funny little video of an Obama speech, filled with nothingness in his fashion, if he were to win the nomination:
