It was a mob scene at the State Department today. Over 1,000 people swamped to give a standing ovation to Hillary Clinton as she arrived.
I was kinda taken aback, when I saw the coverage. So long have these folks waited for the return of Enlightened Leadership and not being under the boot, I guess.
Don't miss,The Decline and Fall of Condi's Empire: The Secretary of State's Shoes, Hairdos, and Fabulous Fashions, Part Four, 2008 (h/t Americablog) [a favorite: "11-06: Mean reporters keep talking about Condi's failures in the past tense."]
Update: Rachel Maddow calls the enthusiastic reception almost like "greeted as liberators". Now, if that doesn't make your day ...

The Return of Enlightened Leadership
Wednesday, April 30, 2008
Hillary "Better Than Some Faggot!" Clinton
Hillary's Guv sets NC straight on social pecking order.LUV ME SOME GOVN'R
What on earth is Hillary promising every Governor in the Nation? Whatever it is, they are drinking it up. What if they find out that she's promised them all the same thing?
HILLARY IS A STRONG, BLACK WOMAN IN A KATHY GRIFFIN KINDA WAY
Meanwhile, her latest Executive booster, ushered her onto stage with his strong-black woman attempt:
“This lady right here makes Rocky Balboa look like a pansy. There’s nothing I love more than a strong powerful woman.”
Of course, Rocky is not a pansy (and not even real), so this doesn't sting quite like it might otherwise.
Did he just mean "effeminate youth"? No. Like the "light in the loafers" zinger that was aimed at Senator Lindsey Graham, it is code for gay man. He could have said "sissy" or "wimp" or, even better "coward" (assuming he had a high-brow purpose ...).
KNOW YOUR GENDER ROLE, PLEASE: GAYS ARE ... BOTTOM RUNG, GIRLY-MAN
So, the hierarchy presumed here is "strong, powerful women", Rocky Balboa [strong men], weak women (presumeably), and then ... gays.
WWCD?
So, what will Clinton do?
She's not going to get away with a press release in the Friday trash, but you can bet she'll try...
ABOUT THAT "GRIEVANCE POLITICS", ANDREW...
Meanwhile, at the risk of ruining the post, I have to note Andrew's screed on the matter, a rehearsal of all his historical grievances (including DOMA, which in some weird parallel universe he imagines would not have obtained, alhtough, to my knowledge, he never explains how ...).
Who does it remind you of?
Did you say, Jesse Jackson? Yeah, that's right. Andrew's fallen in the same trap that he so often viciously attacks ... in others.

Andrew Sullivan Goes into PANIC Mode on Hillary
AS runs around like Chicken Little, putting up the politics of FEAR over Hillary Clinton.
EMBRACING "HOPE" BY THREATENING THE DEMS IF THEY DON'T - HUH?
It takes two to polarize! ...
Put another way, "Hope" needs a partner and is not conditional. Only people looking for change on the cheap demand others to change, before they do it themselves.
With every stroke of the pen, AS reveals that there is no partner for Hope. Too bad.
According to AS, the Clinton's have a "bunkered" mentality.Put another way, "Hope" needs a partner and is not conditional. Only people looking for change on the cheap demand others to change, before they do it themselves.
With every stroke of the pen, AS reveals that there is no partner for Hope. Too bad.
Those with honesty and a long memory, remember that Bill Clinton did NOT come to Washington with a bunker mentality. He literally changed the song of the Democratic party to "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow".
Along the way, they started to get stuffed, first by the "small government conservatives", i.e. AS lookalikes, and then by their own party (Senator Sam Nunn comes to mind, on a number of issues).
NO PARTNER FOR 'HOPE'
ANDREW SULLIVAN, NOT WORTHY OF THE HOPE THAT OBAMA OFFERS?
No where is the "bargain" that the small government conservatives are forcing the rest of us to swallow more clear in his paint of Hillary as "polarizing". ARRRRRG!
It takes two to polarize! Ignoring that Hillary might be polarizing for the right reasons, let the small government conservatives show that they can drop their own partisanship and give her a chance. What's this schoolyard nonsense that the Dems have to do it first? Put another way, "Hope" needs a partner and is not conditional. Only people looking for change on the cheap demand others to change, before they do it themselves.
Put that way, with every stroke of the pen, AS reveals that there is truly no partner for Hope. Too bad.
THE REST - ANDREW SULLIVAN WRESTLES WITH HIS 'BOOGEY MAN'
- Hillary is a "machine" and 'we' need ANGER (the product of FEAR, not Hope) to defeat her.
- Hillary is a "core" narcissist
- Hillary accepts endorsements ("cards") from unions, without earning them (even as Obama gets the Nevada Culinary Workers endorsement).
- Hillary is polarizing and causing depression
- Hillary represents cheap identity politics
- Hillary's strategies are "infuriating" [?] and will benefit McCain [who isn't?]
- Hillary's "temperament" isn't sufficient to being President [Nixon's was? Reagan's?]
- Update: Hillary's husband is a real lout - "tacky" and without "class" [yeah, a real Billy Carter ... if you are born with a bogus "small-government conservative" playbook in your hands, it's hard to escape it?]
