Hating Hillary can get weird. Way weird.
It's rooted in hate-the-bxtch whining. A concentrated analog of Limbaugh's blame-the-Libruls whining schtick. Far as I can tell, this is not because of her husband.
Unlike Lyndon Johnson, Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, Bill Clinton utterly, totally failed to lie us into a ruinous war. (Reagan enabled the Iran-Iraq War. At least 600,000 died after Saddam got Ronnie's green light in 1981.) Bill Clinton also did what he could for the Middle Class, excepting the one capital gains tax cut.
His wife, Hillary, supported every major Clinton initiative. So of course there are people who hate Hillary. No good deed goes unpunished-undenied-unslimed. Nothing that makes democracy better passes uncursed.
America's government is there to be hated.
Hillary didn't dump Bill when he got his johnson polished. Unforgiveable.
Then we get to DKOS. Comments on the recent "She Left Me For Dead" diary show us let's-elect-democrats kossacks be not all that immune to the crazy:
-- "No one I know, female or male, young or old, trusts her."
-- "I'm going to hold my nose & vote for Hillary."
-- "I just read somewhere today that her approval rating is dropping. Not surprising given the e-mail debacle."
-- "She relied on focus groups and polls before making a decision on anything. There was no moral center."
And the assumption that everything about Hillary... attacks Hillary is the default.
The Interview
This parody piece "She Left Me For Dead" is a one-pager written up as an interview with a cigarette-smoking black cat. Sox, the White House cat. The action of the parody mangles the story line of the RWNJ's Vince Foster "murder" slander.
Sox the Cat survives a Hillary Clinton assassination attempt. As Vince Foster did not.
What the piece parodies is maybe 5% Bill and Hillary Clinton and 95% the raving madness of RWNJ obsessions. Vince Foster, the Monica Lewinsky dalliance, the invented fakery of the Clintons' marriage. The language of the parody reflects RWNJ envy of the Clinton's success: readers are asked to be willing to believe anything.
Like Obama was born in Kenya, the Clintons only got to the White House by lying.
There's something wrong with all of them.
And on and on it goes. How far gone into madness do we get before we realize what is happening? How infected with RWNJ memes to suspend disbelief for a cat-as-Vince-Foster story line?
[HINT: Imagine Limbaugh doing the cat lines.]
Read the parody... below the fold... and don't be afraid to laugh. I do think the jokes are funny. Enjoy!
"She Left Me For Dead !"
I've taken to wearing my fur long just so that I can lick it over the scars from all the flying lamps." Some speculate that acquiring a cat was just a political move on Hillary's part to soften her shrewish image. Socks concurs. "When the cameras were on, it was all cream & tuna, plenty of scratching behind the ears, nuzzling, cooing... she'd fuss over me like I was a Chinese campaign donor. But behind closed doors, nothing but screaming and spray bottles. And they weren't always filled with water, either. I used to think that 'piss & vinegar' was just a figure of speech. Now I know better."
Socks assumed that once his tenure as a "personality prop" ended with the Bush inauguration, he'd be set for life. "Sure, I was abused a lot, but I figured that it was just the stress of having such a high public profile. Once we were out of the White House, I thought she'd HAVE to lay off me. Maybe start beating on that professional puddle-maker, Buddy."
His prediction was frighteningly wrong.
"About a week after we left," said Socks, chain-smoking and looking around the room nervously, "I found out that Buddy had an 'accident.' 'Ran into the road' they said. My ass! Buddy was deathly afraid of ANY loud noise. Piddled himself during every thunderstorm. Never seen him get within a hundred feet of traffic without sprinkling the lawn in terror. He HAD to have been pushed."
"As for me, yeah, well, I was a little nervous after that."
His anxiety turned out to be justified. "About 2 weeks after that, Hillary put me in the car. Said we were going to the park to 'chase some chipmunks'. Sounded like fun. Until I saw the sign that said Fort Marcy Park. I just KNEW at that point she was going to 'Foster' me."
"As soon as she opened the car door," said Socks, his voice starting to crack as he recollected the trauma, "I gave her four sharp ones across the nose and just started running. I never looked back. I heard a couple gunshots and my tail felt like it was on fire. She winged me a good one. So much blood. Broke the 12th and 13th caudal vertebrae, but it wasn't life-threatening. She searched around for a while, but she must've seen the blood & figured I was dead."
"I hid in the park for a couple days," continued Socks, "then made my way to Bettie's house. I always liked her. Seemed like she always had a couple ounces of some primo green leafy on her. I heard she grew the stuff in her back yard."
"Never had a better catnip connection."
"Anyway, she took me in and we've been together ever since."
Some believe that Socks brought the trouble on himself, but he denies the rumors. "Yeah, I may have crapped in her shoes once, but that was just payback for the time when she found me playing with a pair of Monica's panties and tasered me."
"As for the 'pillow-peeing incidents,'" Socks concluded, "that was absolutely Bill. He'd wet-head the bitch in her sleep every time she wouldn't give him some and then blame it on me."

Let's sidestep for a fact: when the Clintons left the White House, they gave "Sox the Cat" to Betty Currie.
That is a fact.
That decision was a no-brainer. Alterations were scheduled for the new house in New York State. The Clintons travel a lot and they had no other way to care for the cat other than putting him out a pet hotel.
To no one's surprise, the RWNJs generated a media circus. And the cat ended up living 19 or 20 years with the Curries. One spoiled kitty.
This is a kiss on the cheek compared to what's coming. Expect much worse. What's coming -- my prediction -- is going to run to the nastiest crap-campaign since the 19th Century.
All this "I'm going to hold my nose and vote for Hillary" crap is rooted in RWNJ propaganda. There's nothing actually bad about Hillary Clinton. Not unless having an organized personality is now a felony.
Go down the list and she's a MOR Democratic Party loyalist. An Old Gal, same as Biden is an Old Guy.
And if this parody/souffle "interview" gets you riled, think twice about living on Planet Earth come 2016. Mars might be calmer.
