So...one of the dumbest things I’ve heard about this race.....according to Dick Morris, Hillary is trying to throw the race to McCain so that she’ll be able to run again in 2012......Morris is generally pretty bright but this statement of his has to make you wonder about his judgment.........
She’s staggering, she’s against the ropes, but she ain’t down and she’s still throwing punches.....in the lexicon of ‘Ol Blue Eyes, she’s one tough broad and Yogi Berra sed , “It ain’t over ‘til it’s over.”
Morris also sed that Netanyahu would be elected PM of Israel and he’d do a George Bush pre-emptive strike against Iran.....ya gotta remember that Morris was a dirty tricks strategist for Clinton (operative word being ‘was’) and now he’s stumping for Obama...Morris is smart and devious and ya just gotta wonder what his personal agenda might be.......Mark Twain said, “Truth is mighty and will prevail. There is nothing the matter with this, except that it ain’t so.” Now, Mark Twain was what you might call a ‘purty good country liar’.....sort’a like my old man.....Dad told stories, what my darlin’ Millyrose called Kentucky Shine-on’s, and they might or might not have had a grain of truth in them....Dad never said...He just told his stories and left the believing up to his listeners......
I think that Politicians are a lot like that....they’re what you might call......’born diplomats’......It ain’t a lie, it’s just being diplomatic. It’s a skill that some people are born with. It’s honed to a keen edge in our institutions of higher learning and it ain’t an accident that the most skilled politicians come from the most prestigious universities. These bastions of intellectual wisdom have developed diplomacy to such a degree that the average person will never quite understand what the skilled politician has said. For the public to prize this quality says much about the shallowness of our specie. It’s no accident that actors are held in such high esteem in our society.
When I wuz a boy in Kentucky, people used to say about the weather, “If ya don’t like it, wait fifteen minutes & it’ll change.” Kind’a like t’days political polls......if ya don’t like the last poll, give it fifteen minutes........
but enuff politics...at least for awhile.......
Wellllll.....TGIF.....
