Time Your Best Friend
Nobody’s Opinion: There we were: glued to our TV sets…the famous Jaws movie music theme was running through some cosmic background. The stage was set for Hillary Clinton to appear. Three humongous American flags were draped just for this occasion in the halls of a powerful Washington D.C. monumental building. It was a background fit for Teddy Roosevelt.
The message was clear: This was one of the most historical moments in Presidential history, one that will be included in your kid’s next politically-corrected mandated course of famous political women. Hillary will in years ahead, be lionized as the woman who made all other women Presidential candidates possible. Take lots of pictures.
Whatever.
And now, Hillary Clinton, a woman whose whole life was focused to conclude in attaining this one last grand ambition, was going to admit defeat…any moment now…doo dood…doo dood---doo dood…
But wait…there was her car still in her driveway! The Clintons, as usual, were keeping everyone in suspense in order for the whole nation to be worked up into an anticipated frenzy. Wasting our time---making the whole nation wait, for 45 minutes on a working man’s Saturday afternoon--- is just another example of how crash, opportunistic and rude the Clintons are and have always been. But in the pragmatic world of power and control, it’s a trick that works every time.
For all their complaining, the Clintons have used this waiting trick time and again for the free PR they get. All the stations are tuned at the stage with reporters talking about them, and not much else.
When she finally got there, Hillary made her long walk through her die-hard crowd of supporters. They were so thrilled to finally get a glimpse of her, that we’ll never know the bladder control being successfully used by so many in order not to miss the moment.
At least we at home had bathrooms.
You know, I don’t get it. In the business world, if you make a client wait, you lose that client. And only the most desperate man or woman will admire a date that makes you wait for 45 minutes without an apology. But the Clintons never apologize, and it works. They usually face a crowd of obsequious sycophants panting at their every word.
Once she started though, Hillary really delivered. She endorsed Obama quickly, and then like a true rough rider, she elevated herself to woman sainthood. Yes, Hillary forged the way. Women could now run for the Presidency. In fact, according to Hillary, that’s the main reason she lost. Because she was a woman, and she pretty much said so.
She took a lemon and made it into a bottle of Louie XIV.
But, have no fear; she will continue to work until she dies for all of us. Until she sees our dreams come true.
Well, at least the current White House furniture is safe for awhile.
While she was speaking, I was thinking about the last election.
You see, during the last election, when I heard that John Kerry was to be the Democratic nomination I ran out of my house, over to my neighbor who was outside washing her car and started shouting, “Oh my God. Oh my God. They are running Kerry to lose, so that Hillary can run in 2008, and the only way she can get into office, because the American people will never elect her, is for something terrible to happen. We will be attacked and somehow Hillary will manage to get into office because of it. Oh my God.”
Well, okay, she thought, like you, I was nuts. Sometimes, sugar rushes.
This was, of course, before Obama the man from nowhere appeared. And who needs Hillary when you’ve got an even more far-left candidate with the name of an Arab?
And there was one point in the speech where Hillary seemed truly mad. She repeated a succession of Obama’s name, and it was like she was spitting bullets of sarcasm. The crowd got quiet, but got the message.
In the end, it wasn’t the media that killed Hillary chances; it was all of the Clinton’s longtime political friends and supporters leaving them in droves. And why?
Did the Clintons keep them all forever waiting ...waiting for a show of real appreciation?
While they were playing power games did they forget the power lesson: You really have more to fear from your friends than enemies, something Hillary should have learned with Monica’s every breathy interview?
As Hillary almost ran off the stage after her speech, she didn’t even wait for Bill, her best friend. The one friend whose support, history will prove, came maybe just a little too late to save her.
