Wow, that's a stretch, but given your predilection for extravagant assertions, I'm not surprised. Hillary is the leading candidate for the Dem nomination, and as no less than the Note put it this morning, since a Dem is likely to be elected in 2008, she's W's most likely successor. She's not talking out of both sides of her mouth - she's speaking out of one, and it's fairly right wing. A lot of liberals and feminists (and, sad to say, black voters) have a weakness for her, and that weakness should be challenged at every opportunity.
Fuck McCain, he's completely worthless.
