Shrill Hill Not Looking So 'Inevitable'

Hillary is still alive politically. New Hampshire's outcome puts fresh focus on the upcoming Florida primary. The Democratic Party says it will discount Florida voters.
The party needs to get real.
Public opinion will count for much, regardless. And how does the party plan to ignore the wishes of a couple of its hottest names?
But, how on earth can Hillary still see her presidential term as "inevitable" when she's sticking to her campaign for "change" in Washington and eking out the odd, narrow primary victory?
We've had a Bush Administration, followed by eight years of Bill Clinton, and then eight more by a second Bush. Hillary Clinton wants to be next. Where's the change?
One immediate change she should make is to shut Bill Clinton's mouth. What's he doing explaining away his wife by saying, "I'm sorry. I can't make her younger. I can't make her taller. I can't make her male."
I can't believe this statement came from a veteran politician who's supposed to have the campaign smarts.
She could shut her own mouth, too. Doesn't she realize her campaign voice is at least as irritating to every male voter as if she were really shouting, "Don't forget to take out the garbage, honey?"
The "female victim" in Hillary is wearing out fast. We're beginning to find out what kind of four-footed creature she really is. She's already shot herself in all four feet - medical insurance, immigration, White House papers and campaign contributions.
The only bullet she has left to bite is her gender. We can hear the squeals: "Bill, the boys are beating up on me." Get used to it, Hillary. All your opposition is male. And you've decided to play with the big boys.
One of Hillary's big numbers is promoting universal medical insurance. With some 45 million adults minus any health insurance at all, everyone agrees the problem should be rectified once and for all. Campaign opinions diverge over how it should be done and who should do it.
Hillary's initial excursion into health insurance, shortly after husband Bill was first elected president, took a staff of 500 to produce 1,300 pages of proposals. The insurance plan was quickly dropped.
Candidate Hillary says her new insurance plan will cost the federal government "only" $110 billion - a seemingly affordable amount as government spending goes.
Usually, early estimates on anything are on the low side; the final bill will probably be around $300 billion a year. Another bureaucracy would have to be created to administer eventual universal coverage - try at least 50,000 individuals, nationwide. Ultimately, our tax rates would soar to around 60 percent to finance any broad health insurance reform. How many more tax police would that require?
It would be far simpler, faster and less expensive to expand an option already covering members of Congress and other government employees. A dozen family plans with low-premium guarantees are currently administered by private enterprise.
Our representatives in Washington are sitting on a solution and they don't want to share.
Frankly, I doubt there's an easy way to fill the insurance gap. We are 300 million increasingly diverse people who can hardly agree on anything substantial, even when we're gone.
Most telling: The U.S. Bureau of Veterans Affairs has had to approve 39 different religious symbols for its grave markers.
Hillary got stung by initially seeming to back, or at least to circumvent, the New York governor's proposal to issue driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. As the usually liberal Washington Post editorialized, "Why not just throw in the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders and free tequila while we're at it?"
Nobody can dispute we need immigration reform. The dilemma is how to stop rewarding what everyone agrees is "illegal." While issuing driver's licenses goes too far, it's just plain impractical to collect 12 million people and just throw them out.
Other presidential candidates have called on Hillary to release her White House correspondence. Bill has sealed all the papers from his White House years until 2012.
Opponents have asked Hillary, who cites "35 years of experience" as qualifying her for the nation's leadership, to lift the ban.
What's Hillary done to accumulate "35 year of experience," anyway? First Lady? Hardly enough. What isn't she telling us? Show us the papers.
"That's not in my hands," she says, trying to deflect the issue. I don't buy that. After all, Shrill Hill is married to Slick Willie.
Simple pillow talk should work magic. Will we have to dig up the White House gardens again to find out?
Hillary doesn't look so "inevitable" when campaign finance is carefully scrutinized, as her ultimate Republican opponent surely will.
A major Chinese-American donor is already alleged to have evaded taxes. How about her cattle "futures" in Arkansas?
