Fafblog Interviews Hillary Clinton

For those of you who haven't notice, fafblog, perhaps the greatest blog in the history of the blogosphere, returned on April 1st after a long hiatus. Fafnir:

FAFBLOG: Wow, Hillary Clinton, right here on our little blog! Well, we don't want to waste your time so let's cut to the chase! Why should we vote for you for president?
HILLARY CLINTON: One word, Fafnir: experience. I have thirty-five years of experience working for change, building a list of accomplishments so lengthy and impressive no one else even knows what they are. Why, I could go on for hours just about the policies I advanced as First Lady, from critical legislation like the Mumble-Something Act to my efforts to bring peace to the troubled region of Upper McDonaldland.
FB: And millions of Americans still enjoy the benefits of your successful health care plan in some distant parallel universe!
CLINTON: That's right, Fafnir. No one has more experience failing to fix health care than me. I worked in the White House for eight years failing to fix health care, and as president I'll make failing to fix health care my number one priority.
FB: Well that sounds pretty good, Hillary Clinton, but what if I wanna vote for someone with even more experience, like John McCain or Zombie Strom Thurmond or Andrew Jackson's collection of antique spittoons? Those spittoons have been in the White House for a long time an I hear they got a formidable command of foreign policy.
CLINTON: Ha haaa! Well you know, anyone off the street with a scary black pastor can talk about change, but it takes a fighter to fight for change. And I'm a fighter. I'm tough. And if you lived my life you'd be pretty darn tough too. I mean, I had to go to Wellesley. That was my safety school. But I was strong anyway and I endured. And as president I'll fight the insurance industry and the pharmaceutical industry and the health care industry, just as soon as they stop giving me millions of dollars!
FB: That's that no-nonsense down-to-business style I like about you, Hillary Clinton! You don't just talk about change. You talk about how much you don't just talk about change!

I'm disappointed in 3 Quarks Daily

Posted by: T | May 13, 2008 9:28:11 PM

It's not disappointing to me. It is the truth!

The woman has gone crazy with her need to castrate and castigate her husband becoming more phallic than him --- which isn't hard --- no pun intended.

To reach the presidence of the USA is the "phalliquest" of all symbols. And to castrate the man who taught "organ" lessons to Monica Lewinsky is Hillary's mission accompanied by her incredibly stupid Chelsea!

Applause and end of comedy.

wow. Are you really that sexist? or is this a poor attempt at humor?
I hope it's bad humor.
It's offensive in any case.
good bye

The best expostion of Billary's sense of entitlement I've yet encountered.
Well done, a new adherent directed by Club Troopo in Oz.

Funniest folks in the known universe! Glad to see them back.

But hey -- maybe dark matter is even funnier? Who knows?

F**k, it's like the end of the movie "The Pod People", all your cherished little friends that you had bookmarked and would hurry to visit daily, they have fallen asleep while your back was turned, and suddenly, they are all after you with their dilated pupils and their spongified brains.
Please tell me, dear 3quarksdaily, where to turn, where to run if you too have been lobamatized?

Oh, pardon me. I'm just a working poor, single (divorced) mother. I just don't get the intellectual jokes here like you wise ones capable of sarcastic, sexist humor...let me burn my Mensa card before your greatness.
Your insulated snobbiness is showing.

Remember the Democrats who were disgusted by the liberal attitude of Dukakis and Mondale-
the ones who voted for Reagan? They are ready to vote for McCain. The Democratic nominee must appeal to those Democrats, not just to the heady, liberal intellectuals with 2 Prius SUV's in their 2 car garage. Not just to the Afro Centric vote that is pretending it has nothing to do with Afro Centrism.
We liked the idea of Hillary Clinton as president when her husband was in office. We like the idea of Hillary Clinton as President in 08 and McCain as a Senator at most.

"The Democratic nominee must appeal to those Democrats..."

I am confident you will be there making it happen, since the "Afro Centric heady liberal intellectuals" can't connect with those voters. Without your support, McCain in '08!

Because otherwise you are just another Young Republican troll trying out your own chaos game.

1. It's pretty clear that McCain's first move, if elected, would be to bomb the hell out of... North Vietnam. So, yeah: don't elect him.

2. Crying "sexist" every time a woman is mocked or criticized (not because she's a woman, but because, as in this case, she's a borderline-personality case and half of a glibly pathological team of faux-caring MacBeths) depletes the word of all power or meaning, and is only a very lazy expedient in lieu of a persuasive argument. Can you please stop doing that? (Ditto with "racist").

Posted by: Steven Augustine | May 16, 2008 4:33:43 AM

@Steven Augustine,

First, T did not use the word "sexist" in his/her first comment, only in his/her second, *after* Felix E F larocca MD used the words "castrate" (twice) and "phalliquest" in talking about Hillary Clinton. You don't find that sexist?

Second, like Felix E F larocca MD, you try to minimize Clinton with faux-psychiatric diagnoses. She doesn't suffer from borderline personality disorder and doesn't come remotely close to meeting the diagnostic criteria. And then you complain that people use "very lazy expedient"s. How dishonest and hypocritical can you be?

There is far more truth to the complaint of sexism than to your and others psychiatric diagnoses.

Would you please stop doing *that*?
