What is hilarious is watching all of the Fox news people have to pretend that Hillary is such a great senator and really doing great things . . . all the while muttering under their breath "Oh, please Democrats, fall for it and nominate her! I can almost taste the delicious hate we will be able to spew once the trap has been sprung."
("Whatever you do, don't throw me in that briar patch!")
You can like Hillary as a candidate or not (I certainly don't), but what is without question is that Fox wants her to win the nomination so badly that they are drooling, so they are very respectful in their tone right now.
Here are some excerpts from a Media Matters compilation (
http://mediamatters.org/items/200605240008) on the NYT story discussing the Clintons' sex life (don't have time to go into that vomit-inducing outrage right now)(and of course, thigh-rubbing Chris Matthews about passed out at the opportunity to drool and talk about Clinton sex again):
FoxNFiends Killmeade: Senator Hillary Clinton could do all the great policy decisions she wants and be the strong senator she might be right now, but if the marriage starts coming into it, they feel like it could derail her campaign.
FoxNewsLive Bimbette: Hillary Clinton, the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination for president in '08
Washington Times Liar: But remember, Brigitte, these two are probably the most savvy politicians in the country.
Bought and paid for Eleanor Clift: I think Hillary Clinton has made great headway in presenting herself as a very competent senator. She's on her way to win big re-election in New York
FN Dayside host:The latest Fox News polls have Senator Hillary Clinton doing well against some notable Republicans in '08.
Do you get it now, Dems? Oh, they are so hoping they can run against Hillary. Even these quotes don't do them justice. They discussed Hillary almost with something approaching sounding like respect (except that spittle-flecked Matthews, of course). It rang so untrue on a Fox station.
If they can just keep their faces straight for a little while longer . . . maybe we'll fall for it . . .
