The Comedy Hour
Here is on of the funniest things I've read in a long time. Brace yourselves (from The Times of London online):
Hillary runs for the White House as ‘new Thatcher’Sarah Baxter, Washington
HILLARY CLINTON is to be presented as America’s Margaret Thatcher as she tries to become the first woman to win the White House. As she entered the 2008 presidential race yesterday, a senior adviser said that her campaign would emphasise security, defence and personal strengths reminiscent of the Iron Lady.
“Their policies are totally different but they are both perceived as very tough,” said Terry McAuliffe, Clinton’s campaign chairman. “She is strong on foreign policy. People have got to know you are going to keep them safe.”
Clinton, 59, used her website to announce that she was taking the first step of her campaign by forming a presidential exploratory committee. “I’m in. And I’m in to win,” she said.
It made the New York senator the instant frontrunner for the Democratic nomination. “She has the name recognition, the money, the glitz, she’s got it all,” McAuliffe said.
If she wins, she will return to the White House where she spent eight years as first lady during Bill Clinton’s presidency from 1993-2001.
McAuliffe predicted a rough campaign. “She is going to fight for herself and she is going to have people around her who will fight,” he said.
“They are going to play mean, nasty and dirty on the other side. You don’t walk into a knife fight without adequate gloves.”
The Clinton campaign intends to paint the Republican nominee as President George W Bush’s political heir, particularly over the war in Iraq. “George Bush is going to be on the ticket whether they like it or not,” McAuliffe added.
Clinton said she would talk to voters about “how to bring the right end to the war in Iraq and restore respect for America around the world”. She also hopes to appeal to women voters in their twenties and thirties.
Clinton faces strong competition from Barack Obama, the charismatic but inexperienced 45-year-old Illinois senator. The race is already being billed “the magic v the machine”.
Hillary Rodham Clinton is not worthy enough to be a bitten-off cuticle on a hand of Margaret Thatcher. To even have her name and The Iron Lady's in the same paragraph is revolting beyond description.

If anyone is going to play "mean, nasty and dirty" are the DemoRats.
One can only hope that those "compromising" pictures of Hilary (from the 70s) taken in Cuba are made public.

Yeah, there's no diff between being tough and determined, and being a bitch.

Margaret Thatcher is the greatest woman who ever lived. Such an accolade would sound ridiculous if given to any other living woman.

I'm glad that Hillary...that "paragon of female virtue" who has tolerated her husband's many indiscretions and therefore condoned such...will be the dems candidate. Oh and don't forget that she's also the "most brilliant woman in the world"
I believe that she is the only hope that the Republicans have of winning in 2008.

BARRRRRRRRRRRF ALERT!!!!!!!!! Man I'm gonna throw up! Hillary's name should never be mentioned in the same sentence as Lady Thatcher. Hillary is more comparable to Lady Ceaucescu.

Yeah, right, as Ms. Clinton would apply a series of reform relating to a tax reductions, an increment of economical freedoms, reduction of the government's expenses, etc, etc, etc.
