Why Clinton Should Drop Out | 35 comments (35 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

Re: Why Clinton Should Drop Out (none / 0)

I too wondered about the point of the Edwards thing. The least he could do is learn to play an instrument or something :-).

Naaaahhhhh... (none / 0)

No talent.

In politcs OR in music.

Why was he there?

Root reason?

Same as why he ran for Prez.

He is a narcissist.

Fuggedaboudim.

Re: Naaaahhhhh... (none / 0)

Having seen union politics from close up for about thirty years, I'd suggest that there is a sense of narcissism in almost anyone who seeks office. It's what they end up doing and not necessarily their relationship to themselves that is most important.

I think that Edwards, this time, at least talked about the right things, but his Senate record was somewhat dismal. So you either believe in a conversion or you don't.

Let the lovelight shine... over the bathroom mirror.

Re: Naaaahhhhh... (none / 0)

How would THIS play in union politics?

I think not.

He's over the edge of narcissism.

WAY over.

Re: Naaaahhhhh... (none / 0)

Narcissism is about what's going on behind the face. John would look good with a hardhat and thermos.

He would have a designer hardhat (none / 0)

and a thermos full of $20/lb coffee.

Do you actually LIKE what you see going on behind that face?

Behind those exaggerated liguistic tics and the smirkyface that he tries to pass off as a smile when he's talking bullshit??

I don't, and if I was ever in some kind of serious buying position with someone who acted like that...real estate, a car, an expensive and possibly dangerous service like a lawyer or doctor or dentist...I would walk out immediately and look elsewhere.

Which on a large scale is EXACTLY what the American voters did during the primary.

The more they saw, the less they liked.

Bet on it.

He lost on merit.

INNER merit.

Sump'n wrong wid dat dude.

Watch.

Wait and watch.

It'll fall out eventually.

Watch.

Re: He would have a designer hardhat (none / 0)

Don't know if there's something wrong, but he doesn't come across as having a clear sense of self and where he's going. We couldn't figure out what made him tick, even though we liked his platform.

by Heart of the Rockies on Fri Mar 21st, 2008 at 04:50:27 PM EST

Oh, I think he knows JUST what he is doing. (none / 0)

He just doesn';t want US to know.

With good reason.

He's just another hustler, Heart.

On the make, just as he was from the day that he realized he was smart enough, dissemblkr enough and good-looking enough to make it out of the lower middle working class.

On the make.

Not QUITE gfood enough for Prime Time, though.

Close, but no cigar.

Speaking of which, he was hustling for the DCCC this week. I got one of his e-mails. I didn't see the Leno show - was there any mention of the DCCC there?
