The Nutty Professor says his piece

My pal The Nutty Professor took his blog down while he puts himself on the job market. Smart fellow! Thus has it fallen to others to unleash his inchoate, left-wing outrage (received as the random, innocuous email) upon the world. It’s my turn today. He reports as follows:

The Clintons are going to fuck things up for all of us

Have you heard about the lawsuit filed by Nevada Teacher's Union to shut down the large caucuses to be held (hopefully) in Las Vegas casinos? The Teacher's Union supports HRC. Go figure. They didn't challenge the caucuses until Obama received the endorsement of the Culinary Workers Union.

So here you have a Democratic candidate attempting to suppress the Democratic vote. Very Bush-league.

You know, I'm all for a woman being president, but, give me a fucking break, Hillary has ridden the coattails of her husband from Day One. As George Will of all people noted today on "This Week," it's hardly a victory for feminism when HRC has to 1) resort to crying and 2) send her husband out to beat up on Obama. You go girl!

And what's with this 35 years of experience bullshit? In 1972 Hillary was volunteering for the McGovern campaign. A worthy cause indeed, but hardly executive experience.

Finally, if Hillary wins, the Republicans retain the White House in 2008. It's that simple. It's bad enough that she's the only thing that would inspire conservatives to even participate this election cycle. But now she's beginning to alienate a growing number of Dems, many of whom are vowing not to vote for her in the general election if she wins. (For the record, I'm not one of them.)

It boggles the mind why any Dem would support her. Then again, it would be consistent with a depressing legacy of uninspiring "electable" candidates: Mondale, Dukakis, 2000-era Gore, 2004-era Kerry.

I just donated to the Obama campaign. Fuck this shit. The Clintons must be stopped. They're almost as bad as the Bushes.

Grrrrrrrrrr

As much as I’d love to see Hillary in the White House on general principal, I’m swinging over to the Professor’s point of view. In the unlikely event of a Hillary general election win, the best we’d have to look forward to is the guarantee of a minimum of 4 more years of Whitewater/Travelgate-like manufactured, spurious scandals and an even worse case of DC gridlock than we’ve suffered under the Moron From Midland’s tenure.

When Hillary says she has 35 years of experience in surviving Republican dirty-tricks attacks, she ignores the fact that that also means the GOP slime machine has a 35-year head-start on attacking her. Every last foot soldier is already in place and knows the playbook by heart. She isn’t the only one prepared to hit the ground running on Jan. 20, 2009.

Could Hillary do the job? Sure. Would she get a chance to? Fuck no.

I’ve kind of come to the same conclusion as The Professor, just from a different direction. John Edwards would be a great candidate if he was running for head of a union, or the Unitarian Church, but America has more important problems staring her down than internecine pissing matches with corporate fat cats. It’s a scary world out there, and we need somebody at the helm with their eyes on the Big Picture, not looking under rocks for dirt on Big Pharma or Big Banana or what have you.

Although I still wish he had waited another election cycle or two for some seasoning, sorry Mr. Clinton, I’m ready to roll the dice on Obama! Or maybe a roulette metaphor is more apt. I’m putting everything on black to win!
