Hey Hil, Are You Listening?

On Friday of this week, I was fortunate enough to listen to the AFA Report on American Family Radio. For those that have not listened to it, it is a roundtable discussion of the day's events from a Christian perspective and is sometimes light and entertaining, but is always informative.

The guys had an interesting take on an article written by Peggy Noonan in reference to the Hillary Clinton vs. Bosnia lie - a take that made me relisten and then look up the article by Ms. Noonan. As you may or may not know, Peggy Noonan was a speechwriter for President Ronald Reagan and is always very cautious with her words. She also has a knack for making you look at the dictionary every once in awhile, which is a good thing as far as I am concerned.

I encourage you to read the article by Ms. Noonan as the article really tells it like it is. Hillary is at her lowest point and is drawing straws and shaping them to make her look better than her opponent when she should be counting her losses and stepping out of the ring.

Of the article, I must say that the whole thing can be summed up in two paragraphs:

What, really, is Mrs. Clinton doing? She is having the worst case of cognitive dissonance in the history of modern politics. She cannot come up with a credible, realistic path to the nomination. She can’t trace the line from “this moment’s difficulties” to “my triumphant end.” But she cannot admit to herself that she can lose. Because Clintons don’t lose. She can’t figure out how to win, and she can’t accept the idea of not winning. She cannot accept that this nobody from nowhere could have beaten her, quietly and silently, every day. (She cannot accept that she still doesn’t know how he did it!)

She is concussed. But she is a scrapper, a fighter, and she’s doing what she knows how to do: scrap and fight. Only harder. So that she ups the ante every day. She helped Ireland achieve peace. She tried to stop Nafta. She’s been a leader for 35 years. She landed in Bosnia under siege and bravely dodged bullets. It was as if she’d watched the movie “Wag the Dog,” with its fake footage of a terrified refugee woman running frantically from mortar fire, and found it not a cautionary tale about manipulation and politics, but an inspiration.

"The worst case of cognative dissonance in the history of modern politics." I just love that line and would have to agree that Ms. Clinton's perceptions have completely been muddled though I think that Ms. Noonan is being too kind as I would have to say that either Ms. Clinton is a pathological liar or that she is suffering from a severe case of dimentia. In either case, she has no place as the leader of any country.
