OSCAR WORTHY
Some wondered about this picture, which I posted yesterday. First of all, I found the photo via an image Google search. I believe I used "Hillary bathing suit."
For those who don't know, or can't recall, the reason for this picture ...
It was taken in January, 1998, while the Clintons were on vacation in St. Thomas. The Clintons, who script every single, solitary second, needed a diversion from Slick's upcoming testimony in the Paula Jones civil lawsuit.
[If you'll recall, Bill Clinton lied during his testimony, which was why he was later impeached.]
Politically speaking, the "Carribbean cheesecake" was a good move because it allowed for some righteous indignation: "We stupidly assumed they'd be granted some privacy."
…
But Clinton also said: ... "I didn't think I was being photographed."
…
So why did the White House complain about an invasion of privacy? I asked.
"This is a post-Diana world," the source said. "It's good to complain about that, and it's good to complain about the press. It makes the public more on your side. But a picture of the two of them dancing? You can't lose with a picture like that."
Remember Geffen's words: "Everyone in politics lies, but they do it with such ease, it's troubling."
Let's not forget ...

We were told that they were sharing a private moment while on vacation, unaware that the press and photographers were infringing upon their ickiness. Then-deputy White House press secretary Joe Lockhart fumed, "We stupidly assumed they'd be granted some privacy."
Yeah. Right.
They thought they could turn Slick's philandering lemon into lemonade with Hillary's 'evil' joke: Clinton grabbed the mike and told the audience that the questioner wanted to know "what in my background equips me to deal with evil and bad men." She then smiled, raised her eyebrows and nodded knowingly at the questioner.
Except she couldn't handle her husband, which causes people to wonder how she could ever handle terrorists hell-bent upon our annihilation.
The Clintons are still using their old play book, thinking their victory is just a matter of packaging.
'HOW TO TALK ABOUT BUBBA FATIGUE & IRAQ': A "talking points" memo distributed to Hillary Rodham Clinton's supporters gives them the carefully crafted campaign line on how to deal with a host of nettlesome questions, including Bill Clinton being a drag on his wife and the former first lady's guarded personality.
Written scripts are nothing new for the Clintons. They were highly scripted for their '92 campaign. Back then the plan was named The Making of a First Family: a Blueprint.
The "General Election Project," as the plan was called, covered everything,
right down to making the Clintons seem more warm and cuddly and even making images real.
Yet, after fifteen years of getting to know HRC, including eight years in the White House and at least one term in the Senate, Hillary Clinton's support has remained unchanged at 43%. Just like Slick's.

DEMOCRATS HAVE STANDARDS!
My previous post, HAS PELOSI PEAKED?, irked one erudite commenter named LanceThruster (whose ISP is from the University of Southern California, so he must have smarts.)LT: I'll look for your previous posts berating Katherine Harris for her "extreme makeover."
I didn't notice, did Speaker Pelosi stand at an angle like Harris did when on Hannity and Colmes in order to prominently display "the twins?"
KL: LanceThruster? My aren't we conceited :)
LT: Kitty Litter - Your function is clear as is the value of the product you are named for once used (though I actually find it playful and cute. I was responding to your *words*).
There is a story to my nick, but you never asked. Not all the connotations are sexual. Since you responed directly, can you give me the link(s) for your digs at KH's attempts at more attractive living through surgery? I'm sure they're as funny as this piece. No, really.
KL: No, I can't give you the links because I wasn't blogging in 2000. KH had cosmetic surgery? So what?
LT: That's my point re: Speaker Pelosi. So what?
You drop inane little choco-logs in your litter box and people marvel at it as if it were pearls of great wisdom.
The nature of still capture is such that we all look wild or bug-eyed at one point or another. I have my own issues with Pelosi but considering the bar is set very low, she's undeniably a lesser evil than what has gone before.
KL: "the bar is set very low"
You're talking about standards, right? You mean elected Democrats have standards?
Of course, you could just as easily read LanceThruster's answer to mean that the House Madame couldn't have been elected unless the bar was set so low. To which DogMan replied, “I thought Democrats were elected because they didn’t have standards.”
