Elanor Clift

Because you always do scream in hysteric attack while threading the needle, parsing delicate language with fact you know to be flatly wrong, while everyone present and everyone watching knows the precise contrary true. There is a phrase for this situation, I've seen it here, about flak being heaviest directly over the target. Her target. She is obviously protecting Hillary Clinton presumptive Democrat candidate for U.S. president 2016, and this is what it takes.

Please do not bother to click through, do not watch the video, if by chance you haven't already. I do not see how it is possible to have missed it thus far. The video is everywhere all at once, and it only confirms what you already know and it can only disturb a lovely gray wet snow ides of May. On the other hand, if you are masochist, behold again the on-air seppuku of the most vile of a dying species.

Clift is a dead ringer for Shirley MacLaine.

I don't understand how people like Clift stay employed in this stuff so long. She has been like that forever. She never said anything interesting or surprising except for the entertaining level of dishonesty she often resorts to. She is a free lance Democratic spokeshole, and always has been. I know what she will say before she opens her mouth. Now this is also true of many pundits on the right, but I don't mind people being predictable if they are saying the truth, and it seems to be getting lost or disputed, but to lie and with such banality is what ruins debates on blogs and in the media.

Rabel said...

Well, bless her heart. She's doing the best she can.

The Dude said...

She did LBJ before he died. She still has the dress.

Chip is asking us to skip a video.

The ambassador "died of smoke inhalation".

The funny, well, there is probably a better word for it than funny, thing is that we know a lot more about what happened that day, all the way across the Atlantic, in Benghazi Libya.

But we do not know, still, where and what the most covered person on the planet was doing or saying, during those critical hours.

It took over a year to get an unreacted email from the White House.

The Dude said...

Unreacted - I like that.

ndspinelli said...

Virtually anyone ever killed in an arson fire has died of smoke inhalation. The charge is murder. Un fucking believable.

ndspinelli said...

Sixty, She did Hillary too.

The Dude said...

Yeah, but she's not saying which one was better equipped.

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

un-redacted.

ricpic said...

Stevens was killed by smoke inhalation! Not by Islamic angels. Case closed. Now that that's cleared up....Hillary for Goddess!!!

Dust Bunny Queen said...

So.....if I go to her house and purposely set it on fire, lock the doors from the outside,she and her family all die of smoke inhalation before they can escape the house.....I didn't murder anyone??

Cool. What a great loophole for me.

I'm Full of Soup said...

Died of smoke inhalation?

I guess she might claim a hanging victim died because his legs were too short.

The Dude said...

And that guy Johnny Cash shot in Reno died because he wasn't bullet proof.

Next case!

Lydia said...

Well, that was painful -- I just watched the clip. I'll give her a slight pass on the "he wasn't murdered" thing because she does say "murdered" while using in-the-air hand-quotes. But what's even worse, to me, is that she is still pushing the "opportunistic attack" that grew out of a video scenario. I thought even the most die-hard of the Dems had given up that line of defense. Maybe she didn't get the memo?

Synova said...

Clift was the one who was gushing after Pelosi became the first female Speaker of the House, about what a powerful leader she was by vindictively punishing Democratic freshmen who didn't fall into line with her plans.

Blew my mind...

CL:
I saw Clift in person about 10 years ago.

IMO, Shirley McLain is attractive - Clift looks nothing like Shirley McLain and Clift is not attractive.

Amartel said...

Idiot. Comfortably unchallenged in her assumptions, at least not in any way that can't be avoided by shouting "racist" or "sexist," means never learning anything new, never having to think too deeply or develop the habit of thinking before blurting at all. Leads to saying dumb stuff. But that's okay because the other idiots will not call her out.
Moron with a megaphone. DOWN.
Clean up on Aisle Nine.
Move along; Nothing to see here.

"He didn't die of a gun shot wound, he died of lead poisoning!"

Chip S. said...

Obviously he died from anthropogenic warming.

I blame the Kochs.

I'm Full of Soup said...

Chip & AllenS:

Heh - Lem could have a contest to see what the funniest one his commenters can come up with to parrot Clift's idiocy.

Amartel said...

AJ - Our president has already won the parroting progressive idiocy contest many times over.

Amartel said...

You cannot improve upon perfection.

Eleanor has been a card-carrying Newsweeker for 40 years.

If she can't beat you with facts (almost always the case), she either screams you down (the Lefties' favorite tactic) or goes into Fanstasyland.

They say he died of the chicken pox.

In part, I must agree,
One chick too many had he

I'm comparing Clift to MacLaine in last year's "Downton Abbey."

I'm Full of Soup said...

CL Sorry I don't watch that high class stuff and I don't have HBO.

William said...

Eleanor Clift doesn't rise to the level of celebrity. People vaguely know who she is and are mildly surprised that she's still alive. She's now a little more famous, not to the level of Joey Buttafucco, but a little more famous. I don't think she'll get any endorsement deals because of this, but Hillary can use a woman like this on her speech writing team.

"Downton Abbey" is PBS, AJ. But I understand why you'd shy away from that too. :)
