Hillary Hysteria.

Filed under: Uncategorized — Jim @ 8:12 pm

Olympic rings.jpgAt the eleventh hour, Hillary Clinton made an appearance in Singapore as part of the effort to convince delegates of the International Olympic Committee to select New York City as the site of the 2012 Summer Olympic Games. If the New York Times’ report of the event is accurate (which, of course, is, at best, a crapshoot), it must have been a display rivaled in the Disgusting Department only by Fear Factor’s regular installments of people gobbling up cockroaches for money.

But while many of the I.O.C. representatives were ducking some of the high-profile names seeking to woo their vote, at least one turned the tables: Hillary Rodham Clinton, who was greeted like a rock star as she made her way around this tidy Asian island on Tuesday promoting the city’s bid for the 2012 Summer Games. Delegates sought to have their picture taken with her, or at least get her autograph. And while many showed up late for their meetings with representatives of the five cities bidding, for Mrs. Clinton they showed up early, sometimes standing in line.

The good news is that it is probably too late in the game for her appearance to make a difference. I would prefer that the Olympics and its attendant lunacy take place in Paris, London, Madrid, or Moscow, rather than just across the river from the House by the Parkway.

The bad news is that she probably will not decide to stay in Singapore and run for office there.

  1. I wonder if she could find New York on a map.

  2. She was planning to compete in the Women’s 400M
    Emasculation Relay with Ellen DeGeneres, Margaret Chow and Elton John.
    Her two-timing husband was hitting on a cocktail waitress before Hillary’s plane left the runway at JFK. He was hoping to go to the Olympics in NYC so he could hit on Sharon Stone at the UN. Maybe he could find one of the Spice Girls in London in 2012.

  3. If she likes it over there, maybe she’ll decide to run for office. She’s always been a fan of the Singapore Phillies.

  4. WHAT do people SEE in that bitch? The closest thing I’ve ever known is the scene in “The Wizard of Oz,” after the house falls on the wicked witch.

    Bejus! I just WISH that Hillary would curl up and croak that way.

  5. That is her story, and she’s sticking to it.
    My guess is she is there to meet chicks.
    Asian girls are the best. -and- There is a slight chance she will meet one who never heard of ‘slick willie’

    She proved just as successful there as in the senate. London 2012 done deal.
