RSS 2.0 FeedHillary Clinton = Tracey Flick
by UCrawfordSometimes it’s like Slate Magazine reads my mind.
If you haven’t seen the movie “Election” (the 1995 film), it’s a political classic…surprisingly enough, a political classic produced by MTV. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if Hillary Clinton was their inspiration for Reese Witherspoon’s obsessively sociopathic character.
I actually prefer Summer from Napoleon Dynamite as a comparison for Hillary’s tendency to just go down a litany of programs that she’s going to put in place. At least that’s what Hillary’s stump speech reminds me of.
Probably Tracey Flick is a better description of her more generally, though.

It really is a classic, though…whenever I watch it’s still just as funny. Alexander Payne, who also directed “Sideways”, really did an excellent job. That film also saved Matthew Broderick’s career.

Dear Sisters and Brothers for Hillary,
It is important, I think, to counter what is being said about Hillary and Chelsea on one very nasty pro-Obama website I came across, http://www.matrix-evolutions.com. They are connecting up Bill’s thing with Monica Lewinsky with a hint of parental sexual abuse on Chelsea, if you can believe it! Quickly, I think, shouldn’t something should be done before it blows up in Hillary’s face as an “Internet rumor?”
Onward to victory,
