Hillary Rodham-Awesome: Aide Says She Won't "Lay the Wood" to Bush or McCain, Because She's Not the Party's Attack Dog (i.e., the VP); Also Won't Make Strong Case for Obama Either, Because That's Also "Not Her Job" (i.e., She's Not the Nominee)

So what is her job?

Oh, nothin' much: Just being awesome all day long, that's all.

This again from Carl Cameron on Fox.

Clarification: I had to shorten things for the headline. But the gist is: Yeah, she'll knock the "Bush/McCain" economy, but she won't "lay the wood" to them (not her job), and she'll support Obama, but she's not going to be making the case for Obama (or party unity), because that's also not her job.

So she's announcing "Yeah, I'll do the minimum required of me, but gee, if you wanted me to be an attack dog, you should have made me Veep, and if you wanted my full support of the Democratic nominee, you should have made me the Democratic nominee."

This could be a bit of lowering expectations, so that the Obama cultists don't freak on her if she fails to offer Obama the laurel wreath three times.

On the other hand, she could just be really pissed off.

And really awesome.

Old View of Hillary: Bitchy, Grasping, and Self-Obsessed

New View of Hillary: Delightfully Bitchy, Grasping, and Self-Obsessed

There is no "I" in team.

But her name is Hillary!, not "team," buddy.

(Note I have given her back her exclamation point out of Strange New Respect.)


20 Ways Obama is Snubbing Hillary: Obama could stand to get over himself a bit, too.

Slublog on that, of course..

So many pantsuits, so little time...

Go with the teal, Hillary. Teal says "I'm stabbing you in the back, yes, but I'm conflicted about it."

Thanks to TLC.

Update: Drew tells me that the Obama camp has leaked to MSNBC (quelle surprise, which is "what a surprise" in some foreign language ("Gay," I think, from what I can gather from its internet usage)), and they say the speech will be the Greatest Thing Imaginable for Obama.

Way to lower expectations, guys.

So I guess I have to reduce my enthusiasm.

It's possible the aide leaked that threat to Carl Cameron as a shot across the bow over the roll call. And, of course: Money. Hillary wants that money. It's her money; her campaign needs to repay personal loans she granted to it.

"Historic Snub"? The LAT reported on a speech to her supporters today -- a "preview," it's imagined, of Hillary's speech tonight -- and it failed to mention Obama or urge support of him specifically.

She only urged general support for "our nominees."

Okay, now I'm all excited again.

Then again, the speech was made before some women's group, so maybe they woudn't have been a receptive audience for Hillary's appeal to support the young inexperienced guy over the older experienced woman.

7 I'm not buying it.  I got suckered with Ted Kennedy and the impression that was given that he'd be in a herculean battle to endorse Obama; he just looked old.  This is just going to be more thin gruel.

HA! - but there's been a few of us 'round here who've been saying for goin' on about a year that yes, she's a Total Bitch - but she'd be OUR Total Bitch - as president (and thus, had valid conservative arguments for her election over, well, McCain) ...so, yeah, I'll take delightfully Bitchy, etc.

21 I have to admit I had no respect whatsoever for Hillary prior to this campaign.
I still wouldn't vote for her if my life depended on it, except in the primary of course, but I certainly respect her now. The woman ran one killer second half of a campaign.

wasn't it be a crown thrice offered to mighty Caesar?  or am I missing the reference?

Caesar is more normally pictured with the laurel wreath. Offered the crown 3 times is the Shakespearean version, I believe.

Finally! Someone agrees with me.

Hillary's speech should be about 2 minutes long:

Screw you all. I'm McCain's Veep - he asked and I accepted. Suck it long. Suck it hard.

McCain follow up with a commercial:

45 whatta expect. He didn't help pay off her campaign debt. I mentioned the other day that she probably chokes on the word "Obama" which is where the 'nominee" stuff comes from. I think it will be halarious if she continues that idea thru her speech.

The Clintons are following the same playbook they used in 2000.  Bill was widely criticized for not eagerly endorsing Big Al.  His endorsement was, "Yeah, whatever.  Vote for this guy."  Obama gets the same treatment and goes down hard.  Who does that benefit?

Not Mitt Romney.
