"The vaulting ambition of America's Lady Macbeth"

That's the title of an article by Gerard Baker in the Times Online that I found via Michelle Malkin.

There are many reasons people think Mrs Clinton will not be elected president. She lacks warmth; she is too polarising a figure; the American people don’t want to relive the psychodrama of the eight years of the Clinton presidency.

But they all miss this essential counterpoint. As you consider her career this past 15 years or so in the public spotlight, it is impossible not to be struck, and even impressed, by the sheer ruthless, unapologetic, unshameable way in which she has pursued this ambition, and confirmed that there is literally nothing she will not do, say, think or feel to achieve it. Here, finally, is someone who has taken the black arts of the politician’s trade, the dissembling, the trimming, the pandering, all the way to their logical conclusion.

Now, you may have noticed that I do not like Her Vileness. Good for you. In case you haven't noticed, let me be clear; I detest this woman and rue the day she might attain the presidency.

If a democrat is elected president in 2008, that will be bad. That person will surely have Supreme Court appointments. One of the liberal justices (can't remember which one) doesn't even attend regular meetings anymore; he just calls in from home due to the state of his health. And Ginsberg is said to be in poor health herself. Moreover the left would direct our foreign policy and would most assuredly see to it that the United States goes down in defeat against the Terrorists.

But if Her Vileness is elected president...

I will be truly fearful for the damage she will do. And don't you believe this drivel that "she has too much baggage to be elected president." Remember that her husband was elected—twice. If our nation was stupid enough to do that, then our nation is stupid enough to elect her.
