The Bishop and the Butterfly: Murder, Politics, and the End of the Jazz Age

    Nonsense about Hillary

    By Flavius on Tue, 04/19/2016 - 9:47am |

    For both of my readers, here's my list of the most nonsensical attacks on Hillary. Since it's important she win today I figure I should speak now or forever hold my peace- which I would certainly hate doing.

    1. She's hiding the contents of her speeches  to various bunches of investment bankers.?  Let's see. How many people were in the room?  And why haven't some of them spilled the beans?  Do you think every banker in the room was an FOH? Hasn't the media asked? The reason the contents haven't  been reported is because 'there's no there, there'.

    2.Well then , why doesn't she publish them herself? Ever try feeding marshmallows to a bear? You'd better have a big bag.  Bernie and the anti Hillaryites would just move on to something else. Better let them worry this bone until ,say, October 30th. less they turn to something worth discussing.

    3. She's guilty of reading classified documents at home. Shocking ! The Secretary of State wanted to spend her personal time at home working on our behalf. We should prefer her to watch a video or darn Bill' s  socks? We should be grateful.And if you've ever run a large organization, you know that your best thoughts come when you're alone ,staring at the ceiling. 

    4. OK, OK,. But still they were classsified. Even my most right wing friends-if they've served in the military -roll their eyes at that one. Classification is a joke. To repeat, the military would classify a ham sandwich.

    5.Hillary was mean to Monica. Presumably if it had happened to her- and she'd happened to have been married- Maureen Dowd would have sent Monica flowers. Next question.

    6.She's a selfish , me- first person. Give me a break. Should we ignore the years working with Marion.Edelman

    ​7. Back in Little Rock days she took investment advice from a lawyer for Tysons. Guilty of having friends who knew something about investing. I wish I did.And  Hal.

    8 .Well isn't she just a  castrating bitch? I thought you'd never ask. Don't vote today.Stay home and torture your wife. Again. 

    Comments

    You left out some:

    She murdered Vince Foster -- well, nobody's perfect.

    She hobnobs with celebrities to fundraise for herself and the Democratic Party -- guilty as charged: she is a realist.

    She got paid a whole bunch of money for her talks, so she is evil -- SOMEONE is jealous.

    She's a lesbian -- Obviously, because lots of women actually like her.

    She didn't divorce Bill for the sake of power -- OR -- she made her marriage work:  you decide.

    She donated millions of her speaking fees to charity just to make herself look good -- Let no good deed go unpunished.

    Way to go. Flavius.

    1. We don't even know what the definition of "content" is.

    2. Haven't you heard, the socialist review committee must approve all self-publishing.

    3. Reading at home---compared to what, exactly?

    4. Classification is a joke. Agree.

    5. Monica. Jeesh.

    6. Is she selfish? Good quality in dealing with Russia, Iran.

    7. I had a trading account in a previous lifetime. they screwed up my orders. Didn't make much, but saved a disaster. Crap shoot, any way you look at it.

    8. It's the voice, the voice. Men want to be treated like puppies. Am I talking too loud, baby, honey, can't sleep, how bout some hot milk or something?

    Re: 8

    And rightly so as I've tried to explain to Mrs. Flavius.For  60 years.

    And let's leave it right there. Unlike politicians, we can keep our bedroom secrets hush hush. I'm already getting worried about that milk and puppies thing you guys have going on. Used to be we had laws and a sense of decency...

    It seems that the Clintonites require constant and never ending reassurances that their adoration of the Red Queen is a just cause so they harp on the reactions to her serial  misdemeanors and other quirks to avoid having to face her High Crimes even though the misdemeanors also show a corrupt self serving personality.

    This is the predictable Liberal Democrat fallback meme because trying to project positive storylines about a political creature such as HRC only produces shrugs or laughter.

    The latest telling and most troubling development from this group is that Big Money in elections is not so bad if it is used cleverly by their politicians to 'Win' and Sanders is attacked for not buying into this truth and harvesting this mammon for the cause.

    Who invited Debbie Downer?  Always with the negativity -- sheesh!  

    So, according to you, her crimes are high, our IQ's are low, and Bernie's shit doesn't stink.  Got it!

    He is down because at some point we are all going to die. The world is always coming to an end for somebody. Special people believe that the world is going to end for everybody but them. The special people have configured plans to protect themselves when the end times come. They know how to escape because they are special.

    Since the world is coming to an end, all is lost. Elections make no difference. Activism makes no difference. We are all going to die. Got a good idea? Let the special people with the survival plan hear and they will quash it. These are the same people would bought bomb shelters during the Cold War so they could be incinerated when the nukes hit or die a slow death from radiation poisoning. They always have a plan.The special people told us how inept the WHO and CDC were in combating Ebola and were primed to run when the Ebola epidemic hit. They never see any hope hope, so they become Debbie Downers.

    They are really quite amusing

    In small doses.

    Not  the Red Queen. Not adorable. Just the plumber come with her tools to do a job. 

    That'll do.
