On 'Feeling The Love' And Democratic Presidential Politics

Topics: Political News and commentaries

NYT op-ed columnist David Brooks does a great job of summing-up the current state of affairs amongst the 08 Democratic hopefuls for the presidency. I surely didn't expect such a great job of "hitting the nail on the head" political satire to come out of the pages of the Dhimmi Times.

Here's a taste:

BRIAN WILLIAMS: Welcome to Drexel University, the site of tonight's Democratic presidential debate. Let's get started with Senator Barack Obama. Senator, you've vowed to spend this entire debate standing on Senator Clinton's windpipe while reducing her to a quivering mass of jelly. How do you plan on doing that?

SENATOR BARACK OBAMA: Well, Brian, as you know the goal of my campaign is to make this country as noble as I am. But without casting aspersion or criticism in any direction, I have noticed that Senator Clinton, probably without meaning to, has not fully contextualized her discourse, which has had the effect of diffusing the national conversation we must have about the tremendous challenges we face.

WILLIAMS: Senator Clinton, I'm going to give you a few seconds to recover from that mauling.

SENATOR HILLARY CLINTON (quietly weeping): Thank you, Brian.

TIM RUSSERT: Senator Edwards, let's turn to you. Four years ago, you vowed to run an entirely positive campaign. Now you're running a negative one. What changed?

JOHN EDWARDS: My convictions, Tim. The American people want a president they can trust. Four years ago I went from being a centrist New Democrat to a left-wing populist because I wanted voters to be able to trust that I would stand up against the forces of opportunism in this country. Now I stand up to the megarich lawyers. I stand up to the hedge fund managers, the big spenders and the McMansion owners. Basically, I've been standing up to myself. And I don't take money from Washington lobbyists. I take money from the people who hire Washington lobbyists, which means a savings of, like, 15 percent.

RUSSERT: Senator Clinton? .....

Read the rest here ....

In a related note - there's good reason that in a recent Associated Press-Ipsos survey, 37 percent of those surveyed said Hillary Rodham Clinton would make the scariest Halloween costume. Hillary Clinton is indeed "A 'scary' candidate." However, amongst the other Democratic frontrunners, she's likely the least scary in terms of winning the War on Terror and Islamofascism.
