The Rude Pundit on Hillary's gaffe....spot on.

[Hamlette]

To Clinton’s campaign and its supporters, who have been holding out for some gaffe by Obama that would take him down: How’s that working out for ya?

Rest of the post:

Hillary Clinton: RFK's Ass Was Capped All the Way in June, So What's Your Fuckin' Hurry?:
An analogy: Hillary Clinton basing her timeline for ending the current nomination process on the June assassination of Robert Kennedy is like a drunk guy saying he's got time for another whiskey because his girlfriend is busy getting gang raped in the alley behind the bar.

And someone really ought to point out to the Clinton campaign that the presidential campaign of 1968 was not a two- or three-year long process. The New Hampshire primary, the first in the nation, wasn't until March 12. Kennedy didn't even get into the running until March 16, 1968. By June 4, 1968, the date of the California primary that Kennedy won, a date that's four months later than this year's California primary, there had only been 13 primaries. Indeed, running until the convention was the only choice, especially after Kennedy was killed on June 5. By June 5 this year, every state will have had its primaries or caucuses. It's not that people were any more patient in 1968. They just didn't have a choice but to wait and see.

So, like, even leaving out the morbid fucktardery of the statement Clinton made and dealing with it on its alleged merits, it's deceptive and idiotic and out of context.

1. gaffe, or intentional "slip?"

[dchill]

9. Haven't you heard? Hillary doesn't make mistakes...

Therefore, (b) Intentional.

[FourStarDemocrat]

17. Pathological liars don't care about "mistakes", till they're caught

This is really too much. She is unfit for any office at this stage of the game.

2. Glad to be the 3 Rec. - No more excuses Hillary. Drop out now! ~nt~

4. question about the rude pundit, last time I read him he was defending Hillary

did he switch sides recently or am I misremembering or was he being "fair and balanced"?

[roguevalley]

12. he was for her until she showed herself to be a quizling jackass.

TUZLA!

[Hamlette]

13. ah, thanks, I gues its been some time since I read him n/t

[Cha]

16. Since I've been reading him

in this primary he's just pointed out the facts in his own inimitable way.

[ReverendDeuce]

5. Fantastic! Spot-on accurate indeed! n/t

n/t

6. "because his girlfriend is busy getting gang raped in the alley." Um... not a cool analogy

It's not a pertinent or even a coherent analogy. But that's not my point. Using rape to make a point is hysterical and not a little dismissive of those who actually go thru the trauma of non-allegorical rape.

Yes, I know my point comes down to saying "Jiminy Cricket, I'd sure like that Rude Pundit more if he wasn't so gosh-darn rude," but this case is more than just crude. It's pointless and it's mean spirited.

I don't defend Clinton's tacklessness, either. But you don't fight tacky with tacky.

[ekwhite]

22. Ummm

That is why they call him the RUDE Pundit. He was being gentle - what he says about Bush and Cheney can't be repeated in polite company.

[yardwork]

24. He's always rude and I'm always offended by him.

I put this in the category of "Even the Rude Pundit recognizes that Hillary's comment is indefensible."

[cui bono]

7. deceptive and idiotic and out of context

Just what we've come to expect from her.

[CaptJasHook]

8. Kick for the Rude Pundit

[phrigndumass]

10. "holding out for some gaffe by Obama"

Good read, Hamlette, but I find your intro just as insightful!

:kick:

[SlipperySlope]

11. Hillary's entire campaign is now a spectacle of "morbid fucktardery"

[redqueen]

14. Exactly... comparing this primary to those others is just idiotic.

The assassination crap is just adding insult to injury.

[Cha]

15. hilary "deceptive, and idiotic and out of context"?!

You bet her warmongering a$$.

[OhioBlue]

18. Thank you. This has been my point as well

there is no comparison between the primary calendar of 1968 and the primary calendar of 2008. If she were just "stating facts" and reminding people of history, she is deceptive at best. There is no comparison based on the length of the primary campaign that justifies her position.

[tabasco]

19. Hillary has destroyed her own career with the "kitchen sink" strategy.

I will LOL when New Yorkers boot her dumb ass out of the Senate.

She's in the same league with Lieberman IMO.

[cliffordu]

20. That's it!! The fucktard ticket!!!

[papapi]

23. You crack me UP!!! Fucktardery is NOT a political platform!!!

It's a lifestyle! :hide:

[yardwork]

25. I be to differ! The chimp's used it for decades!

Wait. That means it is a lifestyle. I stand corrected.

[Swamp Rat]

21. Yep.

But don't say that to her batshit insane supporters. She's the Queen of the Senate. :crazy:
