Is it Sexist to call Hillary a Thespian??

Hey Folks -

I watched the last debate and was curious myself - along with the TV Talkers - as to the "high level" of warmth and goodwill Sen. Clinton showed Sen. Obama. None of the explanations really "felt" right.

Then today it all came clear. Here's the Uke Man analysis:


At the Debate:

Hillary is warm, open, and says she’s “proud” to be on stage with Obama.

Talking heads interpret: She’s “seeing the end” – making a valedictory – looking forward to party unity - or trying to get the sympathy she got “finding her voice” earlier.

A Few Days Later:

Sen. Clinton says (my paraphrase): Shame on you Obama for your awful attack fliers that say untrue things about me. You said you campaigned fairly!! Come debate your charges.

Considerations:

From what I’ve heard so far, the “charges” say nothing new, nothing that couldn’t have been debated a few days earlier. Some may actually have been debated already; as far as I can tell, one of Obama's "back-stabbing" charges dealt with the health plan, and remember how Clinton insisted on going on and on - even in the face of the moderator - about that.

My Conclusion:

Clinton was very nice to Obama at the debate in order to set up the charge of mud-slinging. The warm emotion of the debate then would enhance the emotional horror of Obama’s "betrayal," and before it could be sorted out rationally whether Obama actually HAD stabbed a good woman in the back – the woman who had so recently put her trust in him - the Ohio debate and primary would be over.

Never underestimate the Clintons
