ven
the most casual observer of the American political scene
would agree: It's a tossup as to whose stage presence,
hillary clinton's or Al Gore's, is the more ridiculous.
But as opposed to hillary-on-stage, Al
thereon has a saving grace: He doesn't try to appear human.
To the contrary, Al Gore embraces his humanoid essence. (In
fairness to missus clinton, 'inhuman' is a measurably less
salable descriptor than 'humanoid.')
 To
better understand why this is such an advantage for Mr.
Gore, simply consider missus clinton's recent
'conversation'
(with herself).
It was risible. Unintentional theater
of the absurd: A chintzed-and-powdered villain, a soulless,
angry, arrogant scold, oozing cloying, saccharine-coated
evil, pulsating to the metronomic swing of stubby
appendages--claws too short to grab its prey.
(Gesticulation is a dud's
only sign of life... and then only if she has a speech coach
to prod her.)
 The
performance was nothing if not humiliating: A direct measure
of hillary clinton's hunger for power. Which reminds me...
enough of that red Klingon power jacket already.
The fatal problem with the clinton machine's extravagant,
fanciful and elaborate construction is not the absurdity,
however. It is the architectonics.
A precarious 20th-century conceit, the
hillary! construct totters on a crumbling foundation of
clinton lies,
abuses,
failures
and betrayals.
It should have been no surprise that
David Geffen's comments
to Maureen Dowd would so easily topple it.
But to the average clinton lackey, it
apparently was.
A barrage of polls are shooting down
the endless post-Geffen-imbroglio clinton-agitprop chatter
that had called hillary clinton and her machine the
hands-down winner.
According to the latest Zogby Poll,
Barack Obama is gaining fast on missus clinton. The
Quinnipiac University Poll released today reports that
Giuliani has widened his lead over missus clinton in New
Jersey (50-41).
 But
it is this week's Keystone
Poll that foreshadows the
final outcome. Rudy demolishes clinton in blue Pe-Ay
(53-37). But more significantly, hillary clinton's
favorable/unfavorable rating is a dismal 32/46. (The other
candidates have net positive favorable ratings.)
We have argued elsewhere
that the only way missus clinton can win elections is to run
virtually
unopposed, and then only if
she remains
immobile, hidden, mute, a
prisoner of her own ineptitude,
repulsiveness and criminality.
But of the three, it is missus
clinton's repulsiveness--her ugliness--that will do her in.
The voters routinely ignore
ineptitude, forgive criminality, but they never abide
ugliness. Never.

Running
vicariously, as
we have argued,
has its risks.
What
was supposed to be Hollywood
propaganda to make a hillary presidency
marginally palatable has instead become a
parable about missus clinton's own dystopian
future.
ABC
announced the other day that it is pulling
"Commander-in-Chief"
off the air "until spring." Missus clinton's
proxy presidency, you see, has been in a ratings
free fall ever since "American Idol" took it
on.
 In
a perverse life-mirrors-art moment, support for
the real-life missus clinton's presidency has
plummeted,
too. This even sans Rudy,
her real-life "American Idol"
opponent.
'Ars
artia gratis.' Please!
Samuel
Goldwyn must be turning over in his
grave....
'HIATUS'
FOR
HILLARY?
