I Hate Hillary

February 23, 2008

by Scott Muoio

I don't really want to hate her, but I just can't help it.

 

On a recent episode of HBO’s Real Time, host Bill Maher theorized that there was no good reason to hate Hillary Clinton. Maher surmised that any person who claims malice for Clinton does so not because Hillary is worthy of spite but because that person has a problem with himself. As a steadfast, long-time Hillary hater, I found Bill’s insight particularly disturbing. Sure, there is plenty wrong with me, anyone who knows me will surely confirm, but compared to Hillary Clinton I am worthy of knighthood, sainthood, and being honored in any ‘hood of Arkansas, the same Arkansas Mrs. Rodham Clinton spent 13 years of her adult life before selling out in the blink of an eye.

Hillary’s latest soul selling occurred during the senator’s recent campaign trip through Ohio. Taking the stage before her usual crowd of male cheerleaders and yes-women, Hillary used the Youngstown pulpit to chest-thump, sugar coat, and desperately attempt to scrounge as many votes as she could in hopes of upending the Barack Obama juggernaut. Fair enough, that is what politicians do, and the sheep bayed in unison. It was, for the most part, business as usual, that is, until her speech found certain punctuation that surpassed even Hillary’s already loathsome standards.

During the speech, Hillary reached inside her podium to reveal a pair of blue, autographed boxing gloves. “What’s with the boxing gloves?” I immediately pondered, “Is Hillary a fight fan? Maybe she’s not so loathsome after all!” Au contraire. Seizing an opportunity as only she can, Hillary held the gloves aloft and went on to compare her presidential plight to that of Youngstown’s own Kelly Pavlik, the recently crowned middleweight boxing champion of the world, a comparison not even a moron could fall for.

For those who don’t know, Kelly Pavlik is a born and bred Youngstown fighter who has lived and fought in obscurity in his hometown until recently upsetting the middleweight champion of the world to become a local hero. Even after the victory, however, Pavlik has remained loyal to Youngstown, and throngs of supporters make the trek wherever he fights. When Hillary mentioned Pavlik, the crowd, of course, ate it up.

As if comparing her electoral plight to that of a young man who lives in the same neighborhood he was born and who hasn’t changed a lick even after finding success isn’t ridiculous enough, there is an even worse connotation lying just below the despicable surface of her comment. Wasn’t Pavlik scheduled to fight Jermaine Taylor, the recently dethroned champion, that night? And hold up a minute, isn’t Jermaine Taylor the boxer from Little Rock, Arkansas who sports maroon trunks in the ring, performs the Soooo-eeeee! Razorback shuffle, and still lives in Arkansas even though he is rich and famous? Yes, indeed. For all intents and purposes, Jermaine Taylor practically IS the face of Arkansas, that is, if Bill and Hillary Clinton weren’t the most famous Razorbacks in the country.

Wow, just when you think Hillary might not stoop she instead rolls on the floor. What a scumbag! Little is lower than Hillary selling-out Arkansas for some cheap pops in Ohio.

Now I ask you, Bill Maher: am I unjustified in despising Hillary Clinton for this kind of panderific publicity stunt? Come on, Bill, you’re the skeptic, you’re the guy that hates political bullshit, and yet you don’t see anything contradictory or loathsome about this manufactured, grandstanding, monarchical, self-entitled cretin? If that’s the case, Bill, then I’ve only one thing left to write:

Let’s go Obama!!!

 

Hillary doing it and doing it and doing it well... pandering, that is.
