Hillary Clinton, the Little Zombie that Could
War for the White House Tagged 2008 presidential campaign, andrew sullivan, hillary clinton 2 Comments »I have so far resisted commenting on the madness that surrounds this year’s presidential campaign (or, as the Onion puts it, “War for the White House”). Partly because I don’t really think I have anything to say about it that hasn’t already been said 10 gazillion other times—but mostly because I’m just…weary. Coverage has been going for over a year now, with eight months to go. Eight long months.
I have, however, kept up with the basic updates in the campaign. And after last week’s primaries, there seemed to be one consistent theme to the stories and blog posts I perused that covered election news: Hillary Clinton is an unstoppable monster.
Here are two examples I had to share: Andrew Sullivan called Hillary & Bill the “horror film that never ends,” and The Cagle Post (Cartoons & Commentary) compared her to “one of those zombies you shoot and stab and knock upside the head with a nail-studded two-by-four dipped in some rare, poisonous South American giant-toad secretion. And she just keeps coming at you.”
I’m not sure if this is better or worse than my husband’s comparison of Hillary to Ben Linus of LOST.
Either way, we’re in trouble.
