Larry David, creator of Seinfeld, has a comic but pointed take on Hillary Clinton's candidacy over at the Huffington Post. Here's the link.
Seems to me that David's wit renders the current SNL skits vis a vis Clinton/Obama heavy-handed in comparison. Tina Fey appears to have seriously misread the political leanings of her audience. The people who watch SNL don't seem to be lower income white women over 70 who go to bed at 8 pm on Saturday night, not that there's anything wrong with that.

What We DO Know about Hillary is the Problem
In 1992 and throughout the Bill and Hillary Clinton reign of squandered talents, we were introduced to political porn as we’d never seen it before. All I remember is 8 years of wanting to crawl in a hole as the Clinton’s hung all their dirty laundry, personal and professional, in my back yard, as well as your backyard and the world’s.
A vote for Hillary, to me, makes about as much sense as sending your bank information to one of those charming fellows in Nigeria. Her message? “With me, you win the lottery!” Or maybe her candidacy is like one of those porn spams about male enhancement. Can’t imagine who might be sending those.
It appears as if quite a few hardcore politicians and news pundits are also salivating over potential Clinton spoils. Governor Jennifer Granholm of Michigan has already gotten some huge monetary perks from Hillary. Although she hasn’t endorsed Hillary, she is full of syrupy praise for her gal pal.
Just look at all that spam in your inbox. Each message is worded cleverly as it appeals to a need and is, at the end of the chain, nothing more than an artful scam.
It’s not what we don’t know about Obama that is a problem. It’s what we DO know about Hillary Clinton.
Scandals, victim hood, wagging fingers and wagging private parts, more shady deals than Nixon ever dreamed of and a pathological inability to face reality. We see a lot of political romping in front of the camera and a lot of bad acting. Pundits don’t get it because they are just as phony.
Does the inability to face reality and the shallow quality of stubbornness remind us of anyone we have seen recently? Perhaps if the bar hadn’t been lowered to one inch above the sewer when the Clinton’s were in office, George Bush and Dick Cheney wouldn’t have had the audacity to lie and lie.
Political porn is back big time unless we send Hillary Clinton’s candidacy into the junk mail folder of history.
I really don’t like this chick at all.

Barack Obama Gets the Delegate Win in New Hampshire
Despite Hillary’s 3% Victory Margin with Voters, Obama is No Loser in New Hampshire.
It appears, from blurbs on Politico.com and on CNN.com that Barack Obama may indeed came away the winner in New Hampshire after all. Not a big fan of the Electoral College here, but right now I’m kind of loving it.
Obama has come away with 9 of the New Hampshire delegates and Hillary has come away with 9 of the NH delegates. But, hold on,there are still “super delegates” to be awarded. Of those, Obama will garner 3 more delegates, whereas Clinton will garner 2 more delegates.
According to Politico.com, the margin of difference between Obama and Clinton is less than 3 %. The scorecard at CNN
awards 12 delegates to Obama, 11 to Clinton and 4 delegates to John Edwards.
Appearing on the morning shows January 9th, 2008, Obama, forever a man of grace and leadership, observed that the media had been a bit too hasty to anoint him as an unstoppable force. Pundits and polls anointed Clinton in the summer and Obama in the 3 days prior to the New Hampshire primary.
Obama stressed that a good, tough struggle would be healthy for the country and that he is anxious to be tested and further vetted. Sure, he would have preferred a win, but he's pleased not to have sustained the high percentage defeat that had been predicted less than two weeks ago in New Hampshire.
Still, one always has to fear the establishment machine in politics. After all, that's what this election is all about. Can the Democratic Machine and the Republican Machine successfully be challenged for the White House or will the change and truth-to-power candidates forever get squished?
Until the end of the primary season, if he lasts that long, Obama will always be the underdog. Even with a 20% lead he would be the underdog. The Clinton Machine could always send him to the pound. Or can they?
Although it may not be part of the Clinton lexicon, there's always hope. Hope. Sorry Bill, it's not a dirty word.
And Obama's quite happy with the larger number of New Hampshire delegates. Winning the popular vote was not quite a Pyrrhic victory for Hillary Clinton, but not a decisive win for her, either. She has stopped the bleeding. Now, please, lady, stop the pleading.
As an aside, I am so unhappy with the wild and wide-eyed Democratic women in high politics. It would be impossible for them to open their eyes any wider. Must have something to do with botox. Rudy G. has the ol' pop-eyed look, too - brrr, gives me the creeps!javascript:void(0)
No doubt Hillary will pull out all the stops. To be sure, she will bless us with her newly-minted Anna Nicole purr along with a well of victim tears appropriate when petting dogs and babies (provided the camera is rolling and the lighting is right)?
Oh, please, folks - she's George W. Bush in a blue (with braided black piping) pant suit!
Cheers,
Stormy

Hillary Clinton Supporters Boo and Heckle Obama and Edwards at Las Vegas CNN Debate
The democratic debate was held tonight in Las Vegas, Nevada. CNN really blew it. Moderated by Wolf Blitzer and John Roberts, the structure was chaotic.
The crowd, clearly packed with Hillary Clinton supporters, bordered on rude as childish Clinton supporters loudly booed Obama and Edwards when they pointed out weaknesses in Clinton's positions. Trailer-park tacky, is about all that can be said.
At the start of the squaring off between the candidates, hecklers were in evidence, as Clinton supporters, unchecked by Blitzer or the other CNN moderators, freely shouted catcalls at Obama. Why Blitzer didn't take some command of the audience is hard to understand. A few words about etiquette would have gone a long way.
Following the debate, a CNN pundit panel is composed of two former Bill Clinton staffers and one republican, J.C. Watts. The spin coming from the pundits is astounding. I'm a democratic and it quite alarming to see a network so in the pocket of a candidate. In addition to Obama and Edwards, Biden and Dodd have good performances, but CNN's panel is much too obvious in it's dismissal of everyone but Hillary.
How could CNN allow the audience to openly boo the candidates without reproach? What a failure of civility. Clinton supporters should know better. To boo someone for disagreeing with your candidate is the height of the politics of destruction.
This debate and the performance of "the Clinton camp" has convinced me, a life-long democrat, that I will never, under any circumstances, vote for Hillary Clinton. She represents everything about politics that needs to change in this country. And CNN is the epitome of what's wrong with the news media.
In short, what was Hillary Clinton's response to opposition? Rather than debating intellectually, she stuck out her tongue at the big bad bullies. And CNN seems to think that's a winning strategy. Amazing.
Oh, poor old Hillary. Boohoo.
