Hillary Clinton's Conversation with America

Or Satan Takes One for the Team

Hillary, for the last few nights, has hosted a live question and answer session on the internet.  If you can muster the courage, you can watch all three here.  After watching tonight's "Clintoncast", Satan thinks he will make the newest guests in Hell watch these videos over and over for the next thousand years.

Of course, we did submit a question, but I guess my email, Satan@hell.com probably pushed it to the bottom of the query.  So here are the topics she addressed:

Healthcare:  She questioned Bush on whether his plan to tax employer supplied health plans was the right way to go.  Satan can't argue with her on this point, as Hell, Inc. provides us with great coverage.  We can't imagine paying taxes on that.  Though Hillary did sort of step in it when she said the U.S. didn't have the best health care in the world.  

What she is for:  She is for beefing up Homeland Security.  She is for improving the V.A., for increasing funds for AIDS victims, lowering college tuition, and helping single women live better after retirement.

North Korea and Iran:  She blames Bush for not engaging in negotiations with both countries to get them to stop their nuclear programs.  She praised husband Bill's deal from 1994 with the North Koreans.  Satan is thinking that she didn't get the memo that it was her husband's 1994 agreement with North Korea that allowed them to further develop their nuclear program.  Hillary also noted that we negotiated with the Soviet Union.  If we remember correctly, Reagan, after the disaster in Iceland, pretty much ended the Start talks altogether.  He was tired of talking.

Personal questions:  Then some loser from the net had to ask, "what do you do to relax?"  Satan about spit his gin and tonic all over his new 23 inch lcd.  How fraking lame.  But at least Satan got one chuckle out of it.  She said she likes to go to movies with Bill.  What, do they have a porn theater just down the road from her house?

Global Warming:  Of course you knew this was going to be asked.  Of course, it is Bush's fault.

Satan's overall impression, and it should scare you, is that Hillary handled herself well.  I've heard her shriek before, but she was well spoken tonight and she didn't really sound like a left wing lunatic. Additionally, she seems to have a good command of her facts and she uses them well.  Satan's prediction is that you are looking at the Democratic nominee in 2008.  She is going to kill her opposition.  She is smart, she looks to be portraying herself as a centrist, and she can speak well when she needs to.  Yes, Satan is really trying to scare you.   You can read more Hillary related things at Wizbang.
