Audacity of Truth
Flyswatter in Chief:
"He had this fly that was persistently buzzing around him during the interview...he swatted his hand and he said ‘I got the sucker’...it was a, you know, Dirty Harry ‘make my day’ moment."- The NYT's John Harwood, describing Obama's killing of a fly - 6/16/09
Quote of the day
This quote is on my page-a-day calendar for Monday. Illinois Republican politico Maureen Murphy once said:
“The reason there are so few female politicians is that it is too much trouble to put makeup on two faces.”
Didn’t stop Hillary, obviously.
And speaking of, she’s now denying that the criticism her campaign and supporters have been leveling at the rest of the Democratic field was never about gender:
CONCORD, N.H. — Hillary Rodham Clinton said Friday that her status as the Democratic presidential front-runner _ not her gender _ has led her male primary rivals to intensify their criticism of her.
“I don’t think they’re piling on because I’m a woman. I think they’re piling on because I’m winning,” Clinton told reporters after filing paperwork to appear on the New Hampshire primary ballot.
“I anticipate it’s going to get even hotter, and if you can’t stand the heat get out of the kitchen. I’m very much at home in the kitchen,” she said.
Oh really? That’s not how it sounded when her husband was running for president the first time around (yes, I know she’s talking about the political kitchen, but couldn’t resist throwing that “baking cookies” quote in there!).
Update: ST reader Chuck sends along this link to some anti-Hillary bumper stickers. I sure hope to see someone design one around her damsel in distress act! Heh.

First of all, thank you for proving that there are North Carolinians that have IQs above room temperature.
Your blog is positively outstanding.
Clinton’s exploitation of her gender merely weakens her claims of objectivity, particularly the one you mentioned where she used Harry Truman’s quip about the figurative political kitchen. It’s going to an irritating chore for the GOP candidate to find a way to attack Clinton’s duplicity without election-breaking blowback, however.
Considering conservatives’ fortunes recently, however, one can’t help but to be cautiously optimistic.
Continue this splendid work of yours. May God bless your endeavor.
“The reason there are so few female politicians is that it is too much trouble to put makeup on two faces.”
You squarely hit Murphy’s quote upon the head with regard to Mrs. Clinton. I couldn’t have phrased it better.
BTW, I just realized that I put in the incorrect URL for my current blog. If you ever decide to drop by, my blog “Standing Upon Principles” is here:

Once again, continue your outstanding work.
I gave it my best shot.
