The Strength of Ten Bimbo Eruptions, Plus Two

Some days you wake up and wonder why Drudge even bothered paying his hosting bill. But today his site is a smorgasbord of engrossing trivia. Example: "Writer convicted of murder he described in novel..."

Another interesting item: Kathleen Willey says the Clintons stole the manuscript of her upcoming book. She says her home was broken into, and the manuscript was one of the few things taken.

I'll bet the right-wing Blogosphere is having a field day with this. I'm too lazy to check. But even if I were writing about politics the way I used to, I think I'd be careful about this story.

The Clintons are trash, and yes, they do resort to low tactics. They hired thugs to threaten people, and they stole a thousand FBI files for the purpose of intimidating and harassing law-abiding American citizens who disagreed with them politically. But something about this new story doesn't smell right. Hillary would have to be a class-A moron to allow something like this to happen during one of her two electoral windows of opportunity. She can run in 2008, and she can run in 2012 if her Democrat enemies haven't managed to cut her enormous legs off by then. But she can't run in 2016. Even the Democrats rotate their stock.

I believe Kathleen Willey when she says Bill Clinton grabbed her breasts when she came to tell him her husband had just committed suicide. That's vintage Clinton. He's a narcissist and a psychopath. But that wasn't the kind of thing he expected the press to find out about. He figured she would be so thrilled to be pawed by the alpha male, or so intimidated, that the story would never see the light of day. But a burglary to get the details of a book which the liberal press is going to bury...that's the kind of thing that draws attention. It's the kind of thing Hillary is doing her best to put behind her.

So while I'm sure Bill assaulted her sexually on the worst day of her life, I have doubts about the truth of her current story. This is a woman who has every reason to hate the Clintons and want to destroy them, and when it comes to vengeance, Satan himself can't hold a candle to a woman chosen at random.

In 1996, a story like this would have been highly believable. George Stephanopoulos would have been called, and he would have put the usual goons and liars to work, and he wouldn't even have batted an eye. He would have said, "Hmm...Bill and Hillary had Kathleen Willey's house burglarized. I think I'll have a Danish." The Times and the Post and the broadcast networks would have assigned investigators and reporters to discredit the injured party, and before long, it would have been a Juanita Broaddrick deal. No one would have cared. In fact, no one cared when Willey told her shocking, disgusting, utterly plausible story. But Hillary has been campaigning for President ever since she and Bill left the White House with a truckload of stolen furniture and a box full of "W" keys. She has reinvented herself from the cankles up. And this clumsy burglary just doesn't sound like Hillary 2.0.

If it's true, and Willey can prove even that it probably happened, Hillary may be washed up. I know the Clintons are made of something that makes Teflon look like hot tar, but Bill isn't the President any more, and the head of the DNC hates the Clintons, and the far-left Democrat fringe thinks Hillary is Newt Gingrich in drag, and I don't think rank and file Democrats have the patience to throw themselves on their rubber swords again. They have no reason to do it. Hillary is unelectable, and smart Democrats know it. This would be a great excuse to pack her away and quit wasting time on Obama and start backing a credible candidate like the Algore. He may be crazy, but he has already proven he can get enough votes to win. Hillary is going to keep the Democrats out of the White House in 2008, and Obama is black and too far to the left, and I just can't believe the Clinton fundraising prowess--their only other valuable asset--is enough to keep the DNC behind them. The left-wing domination of the Blogosphere and the liberal establisment media probably suffices to keep the Democrats out in front in the money race. Dumping Hillary can only help them.

So if you're a Republican, I guess what you want is for this thing to hurt Hillary, but not badly enough to cost her the nomination.

Maybe Gore stole the manuscript to make Hillary look bad. Maybe he and his dog Max drove a hybrid sleigh down the slope from his 50,000-square-foot mansion on the top of Mount Crumpet, to steal the bad book, and to go back...and dump it.

That makes Hillary the roast beast. A feast which angry Democrats may not be able to stand in the least.

He may have a hard time getting that hybrid sleigh to go uphill. Ask a Prius owner. Al wouldn't know; he rides around in giant SUVs.

Anyway, I think it's too early to celebrate. We've been fooled before.

Wow, I hate to say this, but I somehow managed to be unfair to Bill Clinton. That's impressive.

Apparently he and Kathleen Willey were not aware that Willey's husband was dead when he grabbed her breasts. So instead of groping a woman who came to inform him her husband had committed suicide, he merely groped a woman who came to inform him that her life was a shambles and that she needed help.

I feel pretty bad about maligning a guy like that.
