Blair's Law - n - "the ongoing process by which the world's multiple idiocies are becoming one giant, useless force." Coined by Australian journalist and blogger Tim Blair.
Despite the talk of how divisive she'd be, Hillary Clinton is turning out to be quite the uniter. Prominent endorsements from the right wing keep pouring in. First it was Ann Coulter. And now....
It's Pat Buchanan!
| Yay! Hurray! [Clap clap clap!] |
...On the three issues that have ravaged the Bush presidency--the misbegotten war in Iraq, the failure to secure America's borders, and the trade policy that has destroyed the dollar, de-industrialized the country, and left foreigners with $5 trillion to buy up America--McCain has sided with Bush.
Now McCain is running on a platform that says your jobs are not coming back, the illegals are not going home, but we are going to have more wars. If you don't like it, vote for Hillary. | Good advice, Pat. When confronted with two evils, one lesser and one greater, I always go with the greater evil, too. The greater evil, as we all know, has the habit of purging the lesser evil, often using firing squads and bands of roving fascisti to do it. The greater evil will also be more robust than the lesser evil and will try to perpetuate its iron-fisted rule, even thinking in terms of millenia. How're things going in the Reform Party over there, Pat? They sure are lucky to have a genius like you at the helm. |
(Emphasis added.) When Ann Coulter endorsed Hillary, some people assumed she was just being an attention whore kidding, so she had to reiterate the endorsement by insisting she was serious. I don't doubt that Pat Buchanan means what he says too.
| Go, Pat, Go. And stay gone. |
For years, I've been predicting support for Hillary coming from the far right, but I have to say, I didn't think it would be this blatant.
Pat may be "far right," but he's no conservative. He's a Richard Nixon liberal, and he's far closer to Hillary! than either he or Hillary! would ever admit. In fact, if Buchanan would just endorse first-trimester abortions, he'd be the perfect running mate for the Dem nominee.
| Buchanan's the classic Paleoconservative, the anti-Neo Con. He's the last remnant of the isolationist wing of the Publican party and assuming he doesn't pass his views on to any unsuspecting younglings the country will be better off when he shuffles off the mortal coil. |
As to Hillary's reaction, she welcomed Ann Coulter's support, so I'm sure she's tickled pink to be attracting another "bedfellow."
Hey don't look at me. Hillary said that about her girlfriend Ann!
(There's a mental picture I could do without.) |
