The Clintons in 1992:
"It's the economy, stupid."
The Clintons in 2008:
"Economists are stupid."

Wow, front-paged by my favorite blogger. I'm verklempt!
No, Mr. Driftglass... YOU rock. Every single day.
Looks like Hill-o had her eyebrows done.
And you're so quick.
I was thinking exactly the same thing.
You guys ROCK HARD!

Welcome to Pottersville
I agree that comment deserved it's very own post along with some classic Drifty photo magic. Well done, clap clap.
Hmm. Two people who clearly spend 400 bucks at least three times a year to have botulism serum injected between their eyebrows so they'll look younger and prettier for the teevee. And then all of a sudden like, they distrust economists who disagree almost unanimously with their mindless pandering. Coincidence?
Malacandra's comment was well worth putting on the elevator to the top. Good one, Malacandra.
Pricele$$!
Jaw-dropping production department turnaroud Sir Glass. Building the time machine, slippin' back to `92, snapping a quick candid....
I'm in awe. As usual.
Perfect! Malacandra does rock!

The gas tax holiday idea was my absolutely final departure from being able to vote for Hillary at all.
Living in MO, I voted for Obama on Feb 5. I had said for months I would vote for whichever D won the nomination. For a long time I did not accept the "they'll do anything to win" meme. There were signs all along that I was wrong and that they would do anything.
The gas tax holiday was the final straw for me. When you further a proposal by far right nutbags (McCain) to help you against your own voters you really will do anything to win. When you try to change the dynamic of the discussion to support idiotic tax cuts that actually run counter to our national interest (conservation IS in our national interest) you really will do anything to win. When you KNOW that this is what you are doing and are told by everyone who loves you that you are doing it and you respond, "those people are stupid," that is what you are doing.
When in the end you even alienate Paul Krugman... well, it's over - isn't it?
A very sad ending for a couple that should have done so much better for themselves. I guess we should really have expected it since Bill Clinton ran his 96 campaign on the damn V-Chip and "welfare reform." But when Hill went out in 98 and talked about the VRWC that was REAL and EVIL - I became a big fan of the Clintons all over again.
Then in 08 she sits down and negotiates the endorsement of the very head of the VRWC, R M Scaife. (yeah, another sign).
So very sad.
Her vote for war was another sign on the road. Do I think she really thought it a good idea? I doubt it.... but it was a political move. In the 90s that may have been a way to win, but not now. And she hasn't really figured that one out yet.
Sad.
