[lbo-talk] Hitlery Clinton '08? (Nooooooooo!)

[B.]

The "Hillary is gonna run in 2008!" thing has been a
big right-wing fascination for years. A few months ago
on NPR, DNC leader Terry McAuliffe made fun of the
phenomenon. He said she had no plans to do so.

The notion of "Slick WIllie" & Hillary running DC is
something the right is just weirdly obsessed with.
Remember the controversy about Wesley Clark? He was
supposedly the Clintons' proxy in the Pres. race of
2004, intended to defeat Kerry and Dean so that the
Clintons could vicariously get back into the White
House.

A right-leaning relative of mine even floated the
notion that Hillary didn't want Kerry to win so that
she would have a better chance in 2008 after 4 more
years of a Repub president. You would think that
almost all evil in the world somehow redounds to
somethign those dastardly Clintons have done--or are
doing!
