My Petition: Don't Let Clinton Hijack the VP Slot

On one of the most historic nights in American history, did Senator Clinton and her merry bandits offer grace, humility and congratulations? No. They were as "gangsta" as ever. When Senator Clinton had an opportunity to demonstrate uncharacteristic graciousness and acknowledge that Senator Obama is the democratic nominee for the United States of America, she chose instead to martial her legion of old, bitter, scorned, spurned, post-menopausal baby boomer women -- "I hope you'll go to my website at HillaryClinton.com" and "I will be making no decisions tonight." Is she kidding? The decision has already been made for her -- she lost.

This does not sound like someone who passed the commander-in-chief test, someone we'd want to make decisions at 3 A.M., or someone who's ready on day one. This sounds, instead, like a bitter and angry woman clinging to a lost cause. This sounds like a woman who has been cuckolded both personally and politically.

The press release of her upcoming schedule that she sent out yesterday evening and her call to log on to her Web site was not only a battle cry to keep the fight going but also a call to disrupt and disrespect a night that should have been about Senator Obama and his historic victory. If her lack of grace was not enough, we also had the Tevia of "Clinton the Musical" -- Lanny 'whiny' Davis -- publishing a petition to Bogart her onto Obama's ticket. How dare these pushy, arrogant losers hijack Senator Obama's night? Memo to Clinton: We're just not that into you.

In response, I have decided to draft a petition of my own:

KEEP HILLARY CLINTON OFF THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET

1. She does not represent change
2. She lacks probity
3. She's not a team player
4. She relishes being polarizing
5. She supported the McCain/Bush War
6. She undermines Obama at every opportunity
7. She underestimates Obama's intelligence
8. She and her husband denigrate Obama's experience
9. She and her husband marginalize Obama's policies
10. She questioned whether Obama passed the commander-in-chief threshold
11. She played the race card
12. She played the sexism card
13. She revved up the Rev. Wright issue
14. She constantly changed the goal post
15. She had no campaign strategy other than slash and burn
16. She was fiscally irresponsible
17. Her husband can't keep his pants or his mouth zipped
18. She demonstrates raw ambition -- not unity
19. She uses poor whites, Latinos and old women as a trump card
20. She has never clearly articulated what her experience is outside of being Bill's wife

These are just a few of the reasons why Senator Clinton should not be Obama's running mate. I'm sure Michelle Obama has a few of her own, as do the legion of Obama volunteers and supporters.

I don't want to be accused of promoting disharmony, so I actually do want to suggest that Senator Clinton be given consideration as the VP -- on the Republican ticket. It would work so well, since Clinton and McCain claim to be good buds; they threw back shots together, they voted for war together. Yes, that would definitely be a good fit. I'm sure she's forgiven McCain for calling her daughter the offspring of Hillary and Janet Reno.

Who wants to be the first to sign my petition? Perhaps I should look up Monica, Paula and Gennifer and see if they'd be interested.

Clinton's Sequel to the Willing Suspension of Disbelief — Towards the end of "Hillary the Inevitable" she performs a 10-point-perfect double-dis against Barack Obama. But all's not well in Hillarywood. Problem with this picture is the "suspension of disbelief." How will Johnson/Ke­nnedy/Hold­er view the script, or will "Dream Ticket" flop as Obama's inspiring documentary sweeps the Oscars? Find out at:

"7. She underestimates Obama's intelligence"

Don't forget the corollary :

#7b. While grossly exaggerating her own, despite her lengthy record of not much accomplishment.

She used her husband to stir up support,
She used women to generate a vested interest bloc,
She used faux emotion to appear human,
She used her gender to deflect typical campaign fodder,
She used real feminists as human shields,
She used the elderly as poster children,
She used eduction, sex, and race as her hole cards,
And now she'll use time to see what she can squeeze out of people as the clock runs down.

She tried to play us and it didn't work. Don't let her off easy. Don't let her use the sacrifice of real feminists to get her way. Don't let her ride the coattails of women and minorities, pretending to struggle as they have. Don't let her jerk voters around by causing them to vote for another party, or some other emotional muscle-twitch, just because she lost.

I want that petition flying from balloons tomorrow!
Yes [ ] No [x]

Great article! Hilliary's self-worth and self-esteem has been destroyed by Bubba for so many years now - - - her poor ego is in the toilet. This race is all she has left for salvation. To show Bubba, once and for all, that she has a value. So every part of her being has been poured into this. DESPERATE!
Really desperate needs . . . . cause really desperate acts.

Great blog! I want to sign the petition!!!!!

Reny you took the words right out of my mouth!!! LOVE IT!!!

Ben Johnson is petitioning the Congressional Black Caucus to push for Hillary as his running mate.

I sent a fax stating similar reasons as yours to NOT put her on his ticket.

My 10 yr old daughter even noticed that Hillary couldn't even acknowledge the historical accomplishment and significance of what Obama obtained last night.

I say make that list your petition and everyone fax the Congressional Black Caucus those reasons not to push for her as his running mate and other organizers.

She and her supporters didn't want to be pushed out and now they think they are going to push for VP???? HA!

When she delivered her speech I saw the devil in her emerge yet again.

She is suppose to have the better experience and judgement and yet was out done on both levels in this race and now people are tossing excuses for her. Jeffrey told it like was and I enjoyed it. Simply put she lost and the better candidate won.

The young generation, new generation is ready to move past the ugly history of racism.
The question is are there enough to overcome old America that still exist and hide behind media bytes to use as an excuse.

where's the petition?

[hebrewzzi]

When will this petition be made available to the general public! Sign me up! I personally think Obama should pick Gen. Wesley Clark. Gen. Clark is the best mascot for the Democratic Party being a four-star general who favors diplomacy over military action - and he is seriously one likable fellow. It's hard not to respect every word that comes out of his mouth.
