NY Times Headline of the Week

Is Hillary Clinton the New Old Al Gore?

True to form, the Red Rag spends the opening few paragraphs tearing apart the Republican candidates, the bemoans the past mistakes of the Democrats.

But then the Mouthpiece of the Left tears into Hillary with all the viciousness usually reserved for anything Bush:

Mrs. Clinton wouldn’t repeat Mr. Gore’s foolhardy mistake of running away from her popular husband and his record, even if she could. But almost every answer she gave last Sunday was a rambling and often tedious Gore-like filibuster. Like the former vice president, she often came across as a pontificator and an automaton — in contrast to the personable and humorous person she is known to be off-camera. And she seemed especially evasive when dealing with questions requiring human reflection instead of wonkery. . . .

Now Mrs. Clinton is erupting in a laugh with all the spontaneity of an alarm clock buzzer. Mocking this tic last week, “The Daily Show” imagined a robotic voice inside the candidate’s head saying, “Humorous remark detected — prepare for laughter display.” However sincere, this humanizing touch seems as clumsily stage-managed as the Gores’ dramatic convention kiss.

Gotta love it when liberals resort to cannibalism.
