h/t our friend Wendy in Hawaii for emailing us this article

Long live the queen! And no, Dr. Utopia, you egomaniac, we are not talking about you (though, here in Boystown, we certainly understand why your ears prick up when queens are addressed).

This is an article out of San Diego noting a few things we like to talk about, namely that Hera on Mount Olympus seems to take particular delight in punishing all the terrible people who backstabbed the Clintons in 2008.  John Edwards, Ted and Caroline Kennedy, Bill Richardson, Chris Dodd, Greg Craig, Tim Russert, Kathleen Sebelius, the list goes on and on.  All have had falls from grace, terrible illnesses, or self-inflicted embarrassments on the national scene.  Not saying the Clintons had anything to do with this.  Not saying we are happy any of these bad things happened to people we find repugnant.  Just noting it all happened.

AS IF SENT FROM ABOVE.

There are some of you who insist on concern trolling around here, saying things like, “Oh, I wish Hillary Clinton had remained in the Senate!”.  Why, so she would have to vote on the garbage legislation the Senate is pushing?  No thanks.  We much prefer her at the State Department, with the whole eigth floor of Foggy Bottom and the best view in Washington in her office, from which she can do whatever she wants, go anywhere in the world she chooses to look presidential, and forever remove any doubt about her foreign policy or executive experience.  She’s running the most high profile Cabinet department, neogiating with foreign leaders, and serving as the only grown-up in Dr. Utopia’s Unicorn Infested World of Make-Believe.

The article above believes the Clintons are plotting against Dr. Utopia, and that our champ will resign from state after the 2010 election to mount another campaign for president.

We believe Sarah Palin’s 2012 presidential run HELPS Hillary Clinton, because it will be further pressure for the DNC to dump Dr. Utopia and not allow him to seek a second term.

If Dr. Utopia’s approval rating is below 45% by February of 2011, we bet Clinton resigns and awakens her army to go another round.

We get asked a lot what we would do if Sarah Palin runs for president.  We believe Sarah Palin is indeed running for president.  We love Sarah Palin.  We have told you already that we are willing and eager to work for her, would quit our jobs, and honest to goodness live out of suitcases for another two years and go on the road for Palin through the primaries and general election.  GLADLY we would do this.

What would we do if Hillary Clinton reactivated her army, after resigning as Secretary of State, and launced another presidential bid?  We would, of course, work for her instead.

BUT, we make this promise here and now and trust you will hold us to it:  should Hillary Clinton go up against Sarah Palin, we will not say one negative word about Sarah Palin EVER, and will promote our candidate’s positives and work 24/7 for her, telling America why Hillary Clinton should be our first female president.  We will NEVER attack Palin.  We will never malign her in any way.  We will work our hearts out to make it an election about issues, and about who is best for the country.  We believe in a Hillary-Sarah race, that person is Hillary Clinton.  We also believe in a Sarah-Anyone Else race, that person is Sarah.  So, you will respect us if Sarah Palin remains our second choice.  We pledged long ago to people who’ve passed on that we would do anything we could for Hillary Clinton…and that’s a promise we keep to them, and also a promise we stand by because we believe in HRC immensely.

Now, we also get asked what we would do if Hillary Clinton was made the 2012 VP candidate instead of Biden…with Biden claiming he was too sick to run, or wanted to spend more time eating ice cream or something.  Honestly, we’d be torn on this one, because we don’t believe Dr. Utopia is a good president, to put it mildly.  We do not want him to have a second term.  Could we work for Clinton if it meant giving Dr. Utopia for more years?  Honestly, we don’t know.  Could we vote for Dr. Utopia if he had Clinton’s name under his as VP?  As much as we love voting for Hillary Clinton, we don’t know if we could “hold our nose” and cast that vote for Dr. Utopia too.

We’re afraid our love of country would trump our love of Hillary Clinton in this instance.  It would indeed be a Sophie’s Choice, and we’d agonize over that for years, probably.  We might even skip voting over that, and might skip working on ANY campaigns that year.  Come to think of it, that’s probably what would happen.  We would just withdraw totally.  We hope this site is still around in 2012, and so we would be covering whatever Clinton was doing, but we don’t think we’d be political activists and overtly involved in the election.  Things can and do change, but that’s our gut response today, in the last days of 2009.

Now, the last scenario is the most unlikely, and most interesting.  What if Joe Biden steps down BEFORE the 2012 election, and Hillary Clinton is made Vice President to replace him?  Personally, we think this is the only way Clinton would agree to run under Utopia in 2012…if Biden leaves early and she gets to be VP, so no matter what happens in the election, she becomes the first female VP.  This would be a smart move on the part of the DNC and White House, because it would blunt Palin’s thunder.  Some voters might feel it’s less compelling to NEED to install a female president if we already have a female VP in the Naval Observatory.  What would we do in this situation, where Clinton becomes the VP before Biden’s term is up…and then runs with Utopia in 2012?

We actually think this would make us LESS likely to even vote, let alone work for the campaign.  We’d figure she’d already have that hunk of history, so what would running for the VP slot in 2012 serve but to give Dr. Utopia the second term he couldn’t win without her.

It’s imperative to us that Dr. Utopia does not win a second term.  He needs to be denounced by voters like Carter before him for the Clintons and their supporters to be avenged.  One term presidents are defined as failures, and exiled to years of shame for the party’s losses. In a way, it’s worse than being a Dukakis, Gore, or Kerry. CARTER is one of the worst insults a Democrat can be called.

In general though, we’ll go where Hillary Clinton leads because she’s our champ.  We love the Clintons, and will always be loyal to them.  We do not, however, any more or ever again, love Democrats or the DNC.  If the Clintons aren’t in a race, we’re free agents to pick the best candidate available.  We do not believe Dr. Utopia is the best choice for the job he’s in right now, and doubt we’ll think otherwise in 2012.

Unless, of course, the unimaginable happens and Dr. Utopia suddenly goes Bulworth, stands up to and destroys the Race Industry, drives the Liberals from Washington like snakes from Ireland, and completely changes who he is, abandons the global apology tour, and starts being the American president this country deserves.  Who knows, maybe the ghosts of Lincoln, Washington, and Roosevelt (take your pick which one) will visit him this Christmas and make him change his radical ways. That’s the ONLY way we’d ever vote for this man…regardless of who is VP is.

To recap:

(1) If it’s Hillary for president versus anyone:  we choose Hillary

(2) If it’s Sarah for president versus anyone but Hillary: we choose Sarah

(3) If it’s Dr. Utopia for president versus anyone:  we choose anyone else

(4) If it’s Dr. Utopia for president with Hillary as VP: we still don’t think we could vote for him absent a complete 180 change of heart and action in this man
