Hillary Bemis

[THUNDER HANDS]

Henry Bemis.

Rod Sterling's opening narration: "Witness Mr. Henry Bemis, a charter member in the fraternity of dreamers. A bookish little man whose passion is the printed page but who is conspired against by a bank president and a wife and a world full of tongue-cluckers and the unrelenting hands of a clock. But in just a moment Mr. Bemis will enter a world without bank presidents or wives or clocks or anything else. He'll have a world all to himself, without anyone."

Time Enough At Last.

Hillary reminds me of this character from the famous Twilight Zone episode. She's willing to destroy everything around her to gain that one small fleeting moment of immortality, but what she loses in the process will be even greater than anything she could have ever gained.

If all goes according to her plan, she'll wrest the nomination away from Obama, struggle through a tough general election, spent most of July and August trying to fend the benches she incinerated throughout the primary, and possibly lose to McCain in November.

If all doesn't go according ot plan, she'll lose the nomination to Obama, but damage him enough so that swing states like Pennsylvania and Ohio don't trust him. She'll set it up so that he loses to McCain so she can possibly run again in 2012.

There really is no happy ending.

And just like Henry Bemis, she'll have time enough at last, long after the election, to contemplate what she did. When nobody in the party wants anything to do with her, because of what she did to its brightest young star.

Yes, it will be a lonely time for her. But soon time will be the only thing she has.

Rod Sterlings closing narration: "The best laid plans of mice and men and Henry Bemis, the small man in the glasses who wanted nothing but time. Henry Bemis, now just a part of a smashed landscape, just a piece of the rubble, just a fragment of what man has deeded to himself. Mr. Henry Bemis in the Twilight Zone."

1. What a great episode

maybe you can help me. How do I post an image into my post? I've done the right-click on the image, go to properties and then copy/paste the url into my post. For some reason it's not working.

2. does the url end in .jpg or something like that?

[Cant trust em]

3. Now I get it. If there's stuff after the .jpg, just don't paste it.

4. Except that Bemis wasn't the one doing the destroying.

And neither is Hillary.

"She'll set it up so that he loses to McCain so she can possibly run again in 2012."

You're going to have to explain how she makes several thousand ego-driven politicians do her direct bidding -- the same ones you say will also be able to ignore her.

Hypnosis?
