If You Have to Try to Be Hip, Then You Ain't


We can only hope here at Aristeia that today will be the final chapter in the unfortunate battered wife presidential bid for Hillary Clinton, and this will be the last time we mention her on this website. Total overkill in press today . . . man they yap all day without saying a word. Hugo Chavez is trying to start a war, and we get fed pedestrian Mark Penn bullshit campaign ads trying to convince Texas that Hillary is Dr. Strangelove, Henry V, and FDR all rolled into one. Experience! Because, you know, cleaning up the domestic crises her husband causes by banging interns and cocktail waitresses is roughly the equivalent of staring down Hezbollah or dealing with Generalissimo Chavez. Experience, Experience, Experience! For a better rant on how ignorant the political reporters are when it comes to foreign policy check out Michael Signer's article from the Washington Post last week here. More fun was watching her appearance on the Daily Show. It is quite telling that Mike Huckabee and John McCain can banter and quip with superlib Jon Stewart like they are long lost friends, but Hillary sounds like Reese Witherspoon in Election. Bad jokes and stiff, forced "please guys I am cool too" rhetoric made the segment almost painful to watch. What is she thinking? With this, the SNL sketches, and the off the wall Jack Nicholson endorsement it's like she is trying to out rock star the rock star. It's really pathetic, like a Tim McGraw or Toby Keith trying to be Johnny Cash . . . it will never happen. I mean look at that fucking guy Obama . . . like him or not, the guy is cool.

Is it on to Pennsylvania for the Democrats? With a win in Ohio, Clinton could sling-shot herself back into the race. And what Clinton lacks in "cool", she makes up for in persistence. And we all know that Obama is one cool motherfucker. However, no longer can the Obama campaign rap the mantra, "I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one of them." 'Cuz that bitch is officially back in the problem business for Obama. Does Obama have more problems than a math book? No. But he does have one great big, multi-variable calculus-sized problem in Hillary Clinton. Pretty soon Obama will be able to officially press charges against her for "stalking". That bitch just won't go away!
