Hillary as Lady MacBeth I noted months ago myself, so no surprise others see her damned bloody stain as well, a mere spot on the surface revealing the ultimate evil consisting of her mind. 2. "Obama's naïve yet carefully orchestrated idealism. It's like Yale's Lady Macbeth versus Harvard's Billy Budd." Obama to play the sacrificial lamb whom the system lynches? Since BHO is anything BUT naive, let's not attribute any sincerity beyond his desire to take and abuse power in the name of self-righteousness. As Epstein points out, Obama is a mere mirage of carefully orchestrated idealism; nothing real except deceit. BHO is merely the other side of Hillary's coin. 3. "John McCain might be compared to Herman Melville's Bartleby the Scrivener: When it comes to expanding government, he really 'would prefer not to'." The tag-line is clever. Just as McCain suffered years of POW abuse at the hands of vicious communist captors, Bartleby had spent years working in the "dead letter" soul destroying compartment of the USPS prior to becoming the non-functioning dreg on society who ultimately prefered death to life. Bartleby was the ultimate passive aggressive who chose to starve himself. THAT is stretching the analogy beyond applicability unless to say that McCain will starve himself to death by turning away the conservative vote. McCain "would prefer not to" be a conservative. He would prefer having none of that support, ever desiring the progressive liberal. Hm... What of Joseph Epstein’s characterizations of the three tops in the Race?
