I gather from the increasing hysteria of the feminists that Democrats are beginning to rebel at having a loser of a presidential candidate being foist upon them in the person of Hillary Clinton.
The same way the national tea party leaders are a thorn in the side of the Republican Party constantly challenging incumbent Republicans with untested candidates who then go on to lose to Democrats (in Delaware Indiana and Nevada and nearly in Kentucky Kansas and Mississippi) the feminists are a thorn in the side of the Democrats saddling them with utter mediocrities like Hillary.
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Sen. Patty Murray are objectively two of the least appealing human beings ever elected to any office. (That sentence still works even without the words elected to any office.) But God help the Democrats if they tried to replace Schultz as chair of the Democratic National Committee or Murray as secretary of the Senate Democratic Caucus.
Slate magazine is even demanding that Murray be made Senate minority leader as a sop to the feminists. (I think they have a good point!)
Now to satiate the feminists the Democrats seem to be stuck with Hillary as their presidential nominee.
No one really likes Hillary. Ask Bill. Like Toni Morrison novels most people just pretend to like Hillary just so liberals will leave them alone.
Shes a bore. She has the warmth of an Arctic ice floe. She hates people and they hate her. She makes children cry and puppies shy away from her. Nobody wants to watch her wallow around in those neon pantsuits for the next five years.
But no Democrat dares state the obvious.
Although her base of support is infinitesimally shallow it is quite shrill. Feminists on TV are shocked that people are allowed to criticize Hillary in a way they were not allowed to criticize the angel Obama. Park Avenue matrons with their own fancy degrees from places like Smith and Wellesley rave about how smart Hillary is as a way of calling themselves smart.
All Democrats are required to pretend that Hillary is the most amazing brilliant accomplished woman whos ever lived -- or be found guilty of a crime against feminism.
Hillarys main claim to fame is that she was married to the horny hick and then stood by him when he was impeached for the most embarrassing sex scandal in history.
By feminist logic that meant Hillary was owed the presidency. Quid pro ho.
But then the office THAT BELONGED TO HER was snatched away when Democrats dumped Hillary in 2008 for their new trophy wife Barack Obama. Were growing apart Hillary. Obama makes me feel alive! Cant you be happy for me?
So naturally now feminists are madder than a wet hen. Its hard to imagine any ticket short of Hillary-plus-Elizabeth that will satisfy them this time around.
Hillarys long list of accomplishments consists of: (1) being cheated on as first lady; (2) being handed a Senate seat from a heavily Democratic state where she accomplished nothing legislatively (other than her vote for the Iraq War which I think was terrific!); and (3) being appointed secretary of state whereupon she participated in one foreign policy disaster after another.
Everyone senses the enormous vacuum in the Democrats presidential field but no one is allowed to mention it. The absence of a weighty Democratic candidate is almost frightening to me as a responsible American the same way I once supported Hillary over Obama. (Hillary 2008: Half the irresponsibility with all the fecklessness!)
Now theres blood in the water as more and more Democrats begin to wonder whether their party really has to nominate this dud. Arent Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Patty Murray enough to placate the National Organization for Women?
The sharks are circling:
-- Theres the book about the Clinton Foundations accepting enormous donations from foreign governments while Hillary was secretary of state -- which The New York Times and The Washington Post have exclusive deals to cover.
-- Theres the fact that the Clinton Foundation seems to have been little more than a personal cash cow for the Clintons and their friends with $400 million out of $500 million going to pay employees of the foundation plus another $25 million for employees travel and only $75 million or 15 percent of the total haul being used for anything vaguely related to charity. The Clinton Foundation makes Al Sharptons National Action Network almost look legit.
-- Theres the murder of our ambassador in Benghazi Libya on Hillarys watch and her shrieking comment on the bloodbath to a Senate committee: WHAT DIFFERENCE AT THIS POINT DOES IT MAKE! (Youre about to find out Hillary.)
-- Theres Hillarys email scandal in which she violated the law by destroying public records in her custody (18 USC 2071) and demonstrated that the smartest woman in the world is not only arrogant and corrupt but incredibly stupid.
-- Most devastating theres the tape of Hillary laughing about her legal defense of a man who raped a 12-year-old girl so violently that the girl was left infertile. (On the plus side Hillary does seem more likeable when shes laughing.)
-- Theres the fact that she dresses in brightly colored pantsuits that make her look like a Wham! video circa 1984.
Democrats have built their party as the Church of You May Not Insult Obama and look at what theyve wrought: 80 fewer Democrats in Congress; a string of foreign policy disasters to their name; and a base of competing angry constituencies.
Without another black magician thats not a winning combo platter. Instead they have a chubby gal in a Star Trek smock.
