After a viral video showed looped footage of potential POTUS and Bosnian sniper dodger Hillary Clinton collapsing at the 9/11 Memorial in New York, her campaign proved her unequivocal ability to lead the free world by demonstrating she can open an unsealed jar of kosher dills on Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night enablerthon. Take that, conservatives and sexists! Hillary is woman, hear her Vlasic crunch!
It’s all OK if you have the right political views, until it isn’t. Now, finally, it isn’t OK. Unless you’re Muslim. Then it’s OK right, or am I racist if I think it’s not OK. Oh I’m confused. Not sexually. Much. Hold me Dave.
Ha! Watching the Left eating their own reminds me of Shel Silverstein’s Hungry Mungry.
@docjay might be able to prescribe something for that. Just sayin’.
So much in this piece I don’t know where to start…
Leave it to Killary to come up with the most narcissistic campaign slogan (& of course book title).
great synchronicity with Romney & Trapper Keepers… it was on Oct 17, 2012 he made that humourous gaffe (unless you’re a *feminist* who takes umbrage with any minor infraction).
but most of all… kudos to you on the continued use of the Oxford comma … :-)))
An oldie but goodie:
Just some cover up mascara and less Vitamin A. Now if it was chrome plated I might know a gal…
My first thought when Hillary’s people announced the “I’m With Her” slogan was it sounded too much like “I’m With Stupid”, and I rejoiced.
When Trump came out with “Make America Great Again,” I thought that is was ironic that the so-called narcissist mentioned the entire county in his slogan while Hillary just mentioned herself. My next idea was that the ideal t-shirt would be and “I’m with stupid” t-shirt with Hillary’s ‘H’ with an arrow replacing the regular arrow.
She should have at least had a t-shirt labeled ‘Her’ with the Hillary ‘H’ arrow pointing up.
It’s too bad Bill never wore an “I’m With Her” t-shirt on the campaign trail. Because if he did, we’d have lots of great pictures of Bill standing next to young beautiful women with the “I’m With Her” arrow pointing at them.
I’m sure such images can be made,I mean found.
I confess I had to look up “bohica”.
Now having done so, I regret having only one “like” to give.
Twofer….
But she can shimmy….
Thanks for finding that, Kozak!
Dave Sussman,
Great, thought provoking post.
An untitled poem at one of your links (It’s by Scott Rosenberg and is about the years he worked with Harvey Weinstein.) has me wondering if people like H.R.C. don’t sometimes summon some creative talent to silence the victims of the bullies and/or predators who are important to them. I want to quote a few lines of Rosenberg’s poem, and point something out about them, to show why I would be wondering.
“(and, it should be noted: there were many who actually succumbed to his bulky
charms. Willingly. Which surely must have only impelled him to cast his fetid net
even wider).”
In these lines of pseudo-Victorian sensibility, you notice that this Bard of Hollywood shifts the blame—the blame for impelling Weinstein’s increased or wider “fetid net” casting—away from everybody’s silence (especially, then, away from the silence of the powerful) and onto the….um…. succumbing-around…..of the many who have not been named. You also notice the weird emphasis on “Willingly”.
What would be the effect of these lines on anyone who was having—or who could be alleged to have been having—a casual sexual involvement with Harvey Weinstein, prior to a meeting with him in which he turned intimidating or much worse?
I would think the lines would have a very quieting effect on that person for this reason: she wouldn’t be worried people wouldn’t believe her. She be worried about being seen as just another rank fish in that “fetid net” once they did.
