Hillary at Wellesley: Still babbling after all these years
Fresh from her illegal alien driver’s license bungle and the Democrat debate pile-on, Hillary sought refuge at her alma mater, Wellesley College yesterday. If the Associated Press account is to be believed (grain of salt always required when reading MSM political coverage), Hillary got her warm embrace:
Clinton spoke at Wellesley two days after a rocky debate performance in which she fought off criticism from six male presidential rivals. Thursday’s event had a decidedly “You go, girl” flavor, with reminders of the pioneering nature of her candidacy…At Wellesley, hundreds of students jammed a campus auditorium to see Clinton, many wearing T-shirts that said, “I can be president, too.” They danced in the aisles to songs like “Every Little Thing She Does is Magic” and a few shouted “We love you, Hillary!”
She’s playing the Poor Gal Card to the hilt, and her operatives are in full femme revenge mode:
Her comments at Wellesley and a new fundraising appeal from campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle suggested there was an element of sexism at play.
“On that stage in Philadelphia, we saw six against one. Candidates who had pledged the politics of hope practiced the politics of pile on instead,” Solis Doyle wrote. “Her opponents tried a whole host of attacks on Hillary. She is one strong woman. She came through it well. But Hillary’s going to need your help.”
Grrrrrrl Power!!!!
If there’s anyone who deserves blame (or credit?) for Clinton’s botched answer on the Spitzer, it’s Solis Doyle. She’s an open-borders activist who has yanked Clinton to the left after the candidate seemed to have a brief moment of clarity about border security in 2004.
Even Hillary acknowledges her own lifelong incoherence. Check out her comments about her Wellesely valedictory address:
She reminisced about delivering the commencement speech her senior year — a call for activism among young people that won national attention at the time.
Clinton winced remembering some of the flowery language she had used.
“I have to admit it wasn’t the most coherent address, and I sort of cringe when I read that I actually said things like ‘coming to terms with our humanness’ and ‘inauthentic reality,’” she said. “But I still believe as strongly today as I did then in my statement that politics is the art of making what appears to be impossible possible.”
If she’s still cringing over her 1969 remarks, I imagine she’ll be cringing over her big debate blunder for years to come–God willing, on a remote island and not in the White House.

Postscript: Guess that Wimmin Thang ain’t all it’s cracked up to be…
“We’re really excited that a Wellesley woman could be the first woman president. But people really like Obama, too. So there’s a need to do research,” said Eileen Crehan, a senior majoring in math and biology.
Postscript II: Obama chides Hill for using her chromosomes as a defense mechanism.
NYTimes coverage of the Grrrrl Power rally:
“So let’s roll up our sleeves and get to work together,” Mrs. Clinton told the cheering, standing-room-only crowd of more than 1,000 students in Wellesley’s Alumnae Hall. “We’re ready to shatter that highest glass ceiling.”
Many of the women wore T-shirts that proclaimed: “I can be president, too.”
Does this set off your B.S. alarm?
She recounted how after being admitted to both Harvard and Yale law schools, she attended a cocktail reception for prospective Harvard students and was introduced to a famous professor. “One of my friends said, ‘Professor So-and-So, this is Hillary Rodham, she’s trying to decide between us and our nearest competitor,’ ” Mrs. Clinton said. “And he looked down at me and he said, ‘Well, first, we don’t have a nearest competitor. And secondly, we don’t need any more women.”’
There were audible gasps from the audience.
“So,” Mrs. Clinton said, “I decided to go to Yale.” At that point the crowd broke out into laughter and applause.

The story is that she talked about policy. Not talking points, but policy. In talking about it she seemed, for the first time, to be revealing what’s inside.
It was startling. It’s 1993 in there. The year before her fall, and rise.
I spent a day going over the transcripts so I could quote at length, but her exchanges are all over, it’s a real Google-fest. Here, boiled down, is what she said.
Giving illegal immigrants drivers licenses makes sense because it makes sense, but she may not be for it, but undocumented workers should come out of the shadows, and it makes sense. Maybe she will increase the payroll tax on Social Security beyond its current $97,500 limit, to $200,000. Maybe not. Everybody knows what the possibilities are. She may or may not back a 4% federal surcharge on singles making $150,000 a year and couples making $200,000. She suggested she backed it, said she didn’t back it, she then called it a good start, or rather “I support and admire” the person proposing such a tax for his “willingness to take this on.”
She has been accused of doubletalk and she has denied it. And she is right. It was triple talk, quadruple talk, Olympic level nonresponsiveness. And it was, even for her, rather heavy and smug…What Mrs. Clinton revealed the other night was more than an unfortunate persona. What I think she revealed was that her baseline thinking has perhaps not changed that much since the 1990s, when she was a headband wearing, power suited, leftist-who-hadn’t-been-wounded-yet. It seemed to me she made it quite possible to assume you know who she’ll be making war on. And this–much more than the latest scandal, the Chinatown funny money and the bundling–could, and I think would, engender real opposition down the road. The big chink in her armor is not stylistic, it is about policy. It is about the great baseline question in all political life: Whose ox is being gored?

Scary incoherent rhetoric then, scary incoherent rhetoric now. My how times have changed.
Watching liberal talking points collapse around them like a deck of cards…priceless!
She was Spitzed.
I question the timing, was this impromptu or on her schedule before the “Debate of Hillary’s true colors exposed (for once)”??
Translation,
The art of being a lying Crapweasel.
All she has done in essence is add more and different words to her vocabulary, but they still mean the same:
“Willing suspension of disbelief.”
Sounds the same to me.
If this is how Wellesly prepared her to compete in the male dominated world, they failed. Her campaign advisers have been screaming since the debate that she was pig piled by everybody including her defenders in the press. What is she going to do against the Republican nominee? We have a “right wing conspiracy” and now a “left wing conspiracy”. Who is left to blame? The MSM is not taking well to her campaign attacking one of their own. She better stop biting the hand that is feeding the world her drivel.
If this were true, then why are we in the mess we are in? Politicians do not “fix” a dern thing. If anything, they make matters much worse.
Politics is the art of making the voters think we need $40 million in pork to pass a $120 million war funding bill.
Soap
It’s pretty clear from her hardball suppression of Bill’s bimbos to get Bill and her elected co-presidents that she’s part of the crew assaulting women. For Pete’s sake, she sent a thug to one of Bill’s girlfriends who told her to shut up or get her pretty little legs broken. Another woman harassed by Bill IN THE WHITE HOUSE had her cat killed by Hillary’s thugs. A jogger she never saw before stopped and asked her if she’d gotten the message yet.
And what about Juanita Broderick? Hillary was an accomplice after the fact to covering up her husband’s rape of her.
When Hillary claims that “politics is the art of making what appears to be impossible possible,” for her that has meant helping the main man in her life rape and pillage women in a manner reminiscent of Genghis Khan so that she could grasp power for herself.
Hillary is a first rate TB.
Tantor said: “rape and pillage women in a manner reminiscent of Genghis Khan”
love the Kerry callback!
Kerry said: “razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan,”
If the dems pig piled Hilary, then she did the same to President Bush. Almost every answer she gave in the debate had the word Bush in it. Is someone named Bush running for President?
“…..lopping off buttons, blazers, blouses, tearing away undergarments, ripping bras in a manner reminiscent of Genghis Kahn…..”
The N. Y. Times is reporting that she indeed is supporting Spitzers Plan.
You can’t make this stuff up.
The Clintons are so absorbed in their own sanctimonious self-image that they can’t even distinguish their own lies from reality. This is the way it should have happened thus it did, and we are supposed to swallow the whole story. Does anybody actually believe this B.S.? This is more like a scene out of some corny movie.
Everything in their lives, even how she was named, somehow has a higher meaning which shows that she is destined by history to
lord oversave us.I was able to catch the part of the debate from my hotel room when “she who must not be named” spoke out of both sides of her mouth at the same time. Blood is in the water and hopefully she will be torn to shreds finally. I was able to listen to Hannity talk with Newt and Fred about her on the drive home from our tour de Idaho (finally getting to see many of the sites of our beautiful state as part of our vacation for those who care Sun Valley and Ketchum are full of rude snobs and should be avoided). Newt moved her down from 80% to 50/50 for winning the Presidency with a lower ranking to come if this continues to grow legs.
One thing I have learned from my 50 years of observations of women she is more dangerous now that she has shot herself in the face. The upside is the mask has finally come off and many of the sheeple she counted on to vote for her can now she her for the hateful, spiteful, and lying woman she is. The war in Iraq is being won (casualties way down), Taliban fighters continue to die by the droves in Afghanistan, many Universities are being shown for the intolerant hot beds of liberalism they are, and the Democratic lead Congress is a do nothing organization all in all a pretty good news week. The Republic may have a fighting chance for survival yet!
Can you just imagine the clintons in the WH?
Hillary will wreck havoc on this country…..unbelievably so….
Bill will have his 7 virgins lying in wait.
Trailor trash will once again rule the world.
Makes me want to puke.

LOL!

…CATS LYING DOWN WITH DOGS, COMPLETE PANDEMONIUM…
This is for Senator Clinton, after Tim Russert asked her, that really difficult question with “Illegal” in it, you know about driver’s licenses. Senator Clinton is a lawyer also, maybe she is having difficulty with the definition of Illegal? I know her husband had some trouble with the definition of “is”
http://monicamemo.typepad.com/weblog/2007/11/illegal-to-be-i.html
Here, lemme fix that for you:
There - much more accurate.
Hillary is after one thing - power. She will do anything to get it. Now that she has been “wounded”, like a cornered rat, she will more dangerous. I expect to see some dirt surprisingly appear on Obama and Edwards.
#20
’nuff said
There she is in all her glory — I mean gory past and present. She? She is Hillary ROTTEN Clinton. Go girl. Go far away, please.
I gotta ask, Is this “the boys are picking on the girl” really gonna get any play with women?? or just turn them off??
Good question old tanker, my guess is 50/50 but if you can figure out women let the rest of us know. ok?
Every time Hillary talks, she uses the same talking points “wah, wah, wah, wah, hate Bush (stop for applause), wah, wah, wah wah Bush’s fault (stop for applause), wah, wah wah wah impeach Bush (stop for applause). Coupled with the nauseating sound of her voice, her message is like a double-tap shot to the back of the head.
A real woman would not want any clintonite in the WH.
One that has questionable gender preference, just might.
#25,
She doesn’t hold any clout with me, period. Her sexist comments only make it worse. Her attempts to play coy when suitable are regurgitation worthy…
AJ, you crack me up…we aren’t that difficult to understand are we?
She has got to be the least sympathetic person in the world. She deserves every criticism she gets. There is no way she should even be considered for POTUS, but her machine will put her there anyway.
Preferably David Copperfields island, he could make her disappear.
30 pcs - I’d have an easier time understanding nuclear physics than women. Been married to the same woman for 43 years, and I STILL don’t understand her.
Is this a trick question?
As a female reader, I can categorically say that I’m not even sure why most of this country voted to return Mr. Clinton to office when he won his second term. We knew then all about his mental issues, his inner, demonic contempt for females to be used as he liked. How other women voters in this country could have voted for him was a mystery to me (and still is!) As for his WIFE, any woman that would put up with that for as long as she has shown another mental problem is at the core of her values — hold on for as much power as you can get. Her value system (no absolute right, no absolute wrong) compounds a terrible marriage. It sickens and saddens me that the voting public would put someone like that in a position of leadership.
As a voter and at times like this, with such utter evil in the world wanting to take what we’ve worked so hard to build, I’m going to vote for the person who I think is MOST mentally stable, a capable negotiator and decider, someone with real values (yes, there is such a thing as absolute right, absolute wrong)!
I’m a newbie, only married for two years now. But I am certain that my hubby would share your sentiment. I try to confuse him as much as I possibly can…
Just kidding!
Good one aj…
Poll # 72% don’t agree with Spitzer = her stand, after 4 changes. shows she don’t care what the voters think,big time
Yeah, right. Let me guess, she didn’t inhale either.
Using the above handy link to Patti Solis Doyle:
“cares deeply about ILLEGAL immigration”
There - fixed it.
“after his third
immigrationILLEGAL ENTRY”There - fixed it again.
With a father that determined to get into this country, despite our pesky laws, Patti is probably just as determined to have Hillary give licenses to illegal aliens.
aj
Brother, if I had women figured out I wouldn’t have asked the question
cpodug
I have a degree in physics and you’re right!!
patlynnfor
If you remember correctly, most of the country DIDN’T vote for Bill, he got something like %47 maybe? (Ross Perot)
patlynnfor,
Exactamundo!,
Good to see others that think she belongs in a cracker factory.
I only wish to comment on the picture of Hill….You would think that on your graduation day, one would at least go to the effort to wash their hair.
I heard this local talk radio guy this morning asking for women to call in if they will vote for Hillary just to have the opportunity to put a woman in the White House. I live in a pretty conservative area (Augusta, GA), and he took about 22 calls and most of the ones who said they would vote for her regardless of what she says were under 30, the ones who said she was a “wolf in sheep’s clothing” as woman called her, who were older would not.
As for her Yale or Harvard story, uugghh I bet it’s not true. Hell, she can’t even get it straight that she was born before Sir Edmund Hillary climbed Everest. As JSR said, this is like a corny movie but this one is going to have terrible consequences if she does win.
“Corny Horror Movie”
I believe her school records are sealed as well. Presumably this wasn’t her choice either.
</sarcasm>
So let me get this straight….if six “bad guy” nations gang up on poor little Hill, she’s gonna go cry to ??? hmmmm ??? mommy that that boys are picking on her?
Hey leave Hillary alone. We all know it’s Bush’s fault. SHe just took an unpopular stance and was forced to do so because Bush made her do it. She could not avoid taking the unpopular stance.
Many of the men wore T-shirts that proclaimed, “You can be president, too. Your road to the White House starts here” with a downward arrow pointing to their pants.
That would be a WIDE unpopular stance?
Don’t worry Flashman, John Kerry has filled out all the paperwork for her, and Sandy Burglar is on the way over to pick them up.
Tap dancing at Wellesley?
Patty Solis is a TB-CW. And her “leader”, is one squared. Solis’ story is pathetic. Her father would be embarrassed to be patronized in a story like that. Hat in hand like some kind of beggar.
But that is exactly what Solis’ mindset is all about- entitlement. “Booooo Hooooo I grew up poor.” So did I. I just didn’t know it. Not as poor as my folks did. But we were- until my Dad and Mom finally broke out after 20 plus years of showing up everyday.
Now, let’s take a look at this absurd notion of “how much richness(put your ethnic group here)contribute to this country”.
This a statement filled with shame.
My GrandParents received political asylum following the first Mexican Revolution in the early 20th century. They and 7 of their 14 kids were naturalized. The other 7 were born here. One was my dad.
They NEVER said “Look at how much richness we contribute.” They worked as farm laborers, railroad car workers, loggers, cattle ranchers, restaurant workers. And they saved their money to start businesses and buy homes. The first generation (my dad) lived in barrios as kids- but all of them rose up out of that to become business owners or executive government officials.
Their motto wasn’t the ludicrous “Appreciate us. We do so much.” groveling.
The family motto is “Todos tienen su modo”. “Everything has its way.” That’s the literal meaning. The contextual meaning is “Pay attention. Learn to do it right. It will pay off in the end.”
Mexicans like Solis are filled with shame, so they keep this psychic accounting in their heads so they can be enough for the “gringos” who they assume hate them. Solis hates herself. So she is never enough.
I know what I am talking about, because I had to overcome this kind of crap at every turn of my life. It’s as if people expect a person of Mexican descent to BELIEVE what Solis believes.
Mexico abandoned its revolution and its people are ashamed across generations for it.
For those of us who lost land and family in that seriously understudied gory fight south of the border, we reject the shame because we paid our due.
This country offered those of us who were wise enough to respect the sovereignty of this country (that fought to win and keep it)opportunities that are far beyond the “give me what we deserve” mentality of the illegal alien criminal crossing the border.
One of the first generation, American born Chavez’ was my Uncle Frank. He was shot to pieces on Iwo Jima as a Corpsman medic. He didn’t do it because he had something to prove. He did it because he was an American son who believed what his country was doing was right. He volunteered.
I don’t know if Solis has the mindset to volunteer for anything. That age group “deserves” things. I know. Around the time Solis was in grade school I worked in the Pilsen District recruiting Latinos to attend a university in Southern Illinois. The mindset: “What can you offer me?”
Where is the richness in that?
The mindset is “entitlement”. And where there is “entitlement” mindsetting there is corruption and criminality.
So is it any surprise that they who cross illegally do not see themselves as criminals- even though, by their very act of crossing illegally, they are.
Ya, i got feelings about this.
Wellesley T-Shirt:
“I can sleep with Bill too.”
Go, BEAR!
I’ve become a ranting maniac ever since we started ordering Dunkin Donuts coffee online
Is it just me or does Hillary look sweaty in her gradjamation picture?
ladies don’t sweat like us - they perspire - but I’d say a tad nervous, like some of her recent pix
Donuts!!??? did I hear Donuts?!!!
ps, Iwo = Large Cajones.
God Bless our Vets.
Sweatin’ like she’s just been pig piled…
I look forward to the waking of the Bear every day!
Soap! how’s it….well you know!
aj: yes. donuts. and when i roll them i expect Hillary to….oh never mind!
Bill would beat her to it anyways.
I’m glad to learn that Hillary is so very thin skinned. What does she think the pig pile quotient is going to be if she gets the nomination?
She’s raised alot of money, but it was reported yesterday they didn’t have the money to get out in front of the debate
disaster.
The Clinton machine is going to run out of gas. I mean fuel.
Bear,
Great!
Great post from a man how knows the real deal.
The Clinton machine will run out of everything but money!
Quick! Hide the bear mush recipe! we dont want her having alternative fuel.
Too late for that AJ. Didn’t you see the photo? Looks like a three shot night for her.
Didn’t the Clinton’s end up with Jefferson’s frozen cash stash?
I think Jefferson “donated” it.
aj thought you said donut again
She changed on the issue more times than her face changes when taking pictures. Either way, it’s an ugly situation.
Jefferson was using the hot air coming out of her mouth to defrost the cash.
“Faux News Alert”
Recently released data from the hall of records archives indicates Hillary Clintons “Eye Chart” may be the cause of flip-flopping on issues.
“Eye Chart”
So, am I a traitor to conservatism and all that is good and true if I admit that I think Hillary was rather cute once, judging by that picture?
I am reminded, however, of the Proverb that a beautiful woman without discretion is like a pig with a gold ring in it’s snout.
What are those things next to the donuts in the eye chart?
Here’s a way to make Hillary’s statement a correct one:
OT: Soap! relax mano. All you need to say is which way they be pointin’!
Grey Fox! Re Hillary’s picture. It woulda been a perfect mug for the “Yo Quiero Taco Bell” campaign!

“You superglued his what?”
If Tim Russert wanted to pile on, he would contrast what the Bush admin has done with regard to illegal aliens to the Clinton Admin. Sure, Bush was an idiot pushing the amnesty plan but he failed because the people spoke out against it. But I don’t remember Billy doing anything.
OOps, my bad. I forgot about Alien (Elian) Gonzalez.
I don’t think that’s why your seeing-eye dog was barking at it…
Can somebody photo shop that pic and put a dunce cap on her?
Can anyone imagine Maggie Thatcher whining that “mean men” had piled on??
