Hillary Presidential BustFortunately, she already has her Presidential Bust. What a stroke of luck!!

I aligned the photo of her bust to the right just because I’m easily amused.

Sadly, her chances of being elected are not looking very good at this point. I know this because LindaSog referred me to the Democratic Underground to take a gander at what the progressives are saying about her announcement today. THAT is always good for some Saturday afternoon entertainment! LOL

Here are just a few outtakes From DU.

I’ll vote Green if my party is stupid enough to nominate a war monger like her

Lets have a political aristocracy…families of Presidents
Just like the europeans.The Bush family political aristocracy,the Kennedy family political aristocracy and now,the Clinton family political aristocracy.Hey!We gotta groom Chelsea for her run in 2020!

If you want to nominate someone who is “perceived” as a liberal and has bended over backwards to vote the Republican way for fear of looking too Democratic, then Hillary is your candidate.

This one gets a prize for exemplifying the principles of paranoia, conspiracy theories and delusional thinking that is prevalent in the progressive movement …..

Good stick to your prinicples … they’ll give us another Rethug, fascist President. 4 more years and you won’t have to worry about message boards b/c they’ll all be edited for content, subversive and otherwise.

War will be the least of your problems…

It was especially funny to me that shortly after I read the above posting, they deleted some posts that did not conform to their progressive theme. Even funnier, they didn’t seem to see the humor in that!!! lolol

She’s a CARTOON!!

Her stance on issues changes with the poll #s.

She’s a pro-war, pro-censorship, corporatist!

I agree Gore or Edwards anyday, but I’d go 3rd party before Hiliary got my vote. Looks at the devisiveness she causes on DU, and couple it with many centrist R’s who despise her. She will hurt the Dem party. She is too calculating, too over-polled, and to controlled by corporate interests.

There is discussion about how disgusting it is that character is taken into account by people rather than their standing on issues. (Should character matter? Apparently not to those at DU)

There is discussion about how disgusting it is that Republicans will vote against their own party if they don’t like the person representing them. (I guess it’s all about the party for them - it’s ALL about the party! Much like the communist roots of the progressive movement).

And one whole discussion that I found very amusing was about Hillary’s ability to get the Southern female vote. One guy is over there educating the rest of them about the fact that Southern women ARE capable of THOUGHT!!! He knows, because he lived in the South one time. HEH!!!

This was the result of a discussion about whether or not Hillary could take the South and whether or not Southern women would vote for her.

Dems don’t need to win a single southern state in order to win he election. A number of bloggers have suggested just ignoring the South, rather than pandering to it.

They don’t even know when they are being prejudiced.

Enough of that - it goes on and on and on in the same vein.

We’ve all known she was going to make a run for it all along. I figured it’d get pretty entertaining when Osama threw his hat in. That really puts The Clinton Camp in a difficult position, but they are pros so I figure they’ll find a way to crucify him without getting their own hands publicly dirty. Then then article got ‘leaked’ from her camp - and, low and behold, she’s distancing herself from it.

Yep - this is going to be very entertaining!

Here’s her announcement.

Outside the Beltway

No huge surprise. Still, she has done a remarkable job these past several years getting out of her husband’s shadow, positioning herself as more moderate than previously thought, and garnering bipartisan praise for collegiality and hard work in the Senate.

Mark is shocked.

My Vast Right Wing Conspiracy is looking forward to the Hillarity.

Captain’s Quarters says Stop the Presses!

Macsmind isn’t passing out cigars.

Cadilac Tight checked out how Kos is taking the news. They aren’t quite as entertaining as DU - but still ……
