Crowley: The Democratic Trainwreck of 2009

We've got Al Franken, about to get away with stealing his Senate seat.

We've got The Bama without a clue about Gaza, which is why he hasn't said anything about it beyond "It's concerning."

We've got The Bama nominating CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta to be Surgeon General. (What---Dr. Pepper wasn't available?)

Syndicated columnist, radio talk show host, and TV commentator Monica Crowley sees nothing but a trainwreck in the Democrats' first few days of the new Congress. Her words above are but a sampling of her commentary on Obama, Congress, and the incoming administration.

She just about says it all in a concise nutshell.

Clinton Ladies Intervention Team Strikes Again

The Clinton Ladies Intervention Team, the name coined by columnist Monica Crowley to designate Mrs. Clinton's hit squad that is charged with the task of planting questions at opponent's news conferences and debates, as well as coordinate the vast network news machine controlled by Hillary, has been quite busy since the candidate was booed in Iowa on Saturday.

As expected, the Clinton Ladies Intervention Team jumped into high gear following a disastrous question-and-answer session by phone that the candidate had with Iowa voters.

The weather was so bad that Clinton was forced to cancel her appearance, but she took questions by phone. The crowd booed the candidate at least four or five times during her brief session with them.

Mrs. Clinton made no friends and may well have created some enemies when she answered questions on illegal aliens. She made it clear she supports a 'path to citizenship' for illegals, enabling them to circumvent the legal process that millions of others went through, thus catapulting them to the head of the line, in front of those seeking LEGAL citizenship.

The candidate also stated that she would seek to accomplish this along with the Democrat-controlled Congress within her first 100 days in office.

The boos began to crescendo until by the time the candidate hung up the phone, very loud boos were heard from the audience.

Thus, today it was the Clinton Ladies Intervention Team to the rescue.

CBS News and Katie Couric practically joined the team today as not only did they fail to show Mrs. Clinton's disastrous question-and-answer session in Iowa on Saturday but they took pains to show her in a very friendly crowd today, as the candidate coincidentally proceeded to take swipes at the Bush Administration.

In addition, Clinton got loads of free publicity, compliments of Couric and Company, when the Evening News did a segment on 'attempting to get the youth vote.' Here again, the segment coincidentally focused almost exclusively on the Democrats rather than Republicans, although the segment was designed to show the importance of youth to BOTH Parties.

But guess who got most of the airtime in the segment? You guess it--Hillary Rodham Clinton.

In fact, Couric and Company broadcast a key quote from Mrs. Clinton as she stated, 'The youth and their future is what this campaign is all about.'

If one is paying attention merely to the pictorial symbols and not the spin-verbiage that Couric used to mislead viewers concerning the nature of the piece, it is clear that the network wished for viewers to take with them two powerful images and thoughts--one, only Democrats are concerned about the youth of America, and two, it is Mrs. Clinton who has fashioned her entire campaign around youth and their future.

As if we didn't already know, we are now assured with proof positive that Couric and CBS News are part of the Clinton Ladies Intervention Team.

Clinton Ladies Intervention Team (C.L.I.T.)

But the real criticism should be directed to the Junior Senator from New York, whose campaign is getting away with murder out there. Peppering the audiences with her supporters (who last night booed everyone EXCEPT the only guy she can beat: Huckabee), planting questions, denying knowledge, stonewalling to the death. These are classic Clintonian tactics. She should be called out on them rather than have CNN take all of the slings and arrows. CNN was at fault, but the Clinton Ladies Intervention Team also played CNN—-and us—-like a Stradivarius.

Monica Crowley, Political Mavens columnist and Fox News commentator, has coined the perfect term for Mrs. Clinton's team of femi-nazi hit men. The above quote, from Crowley, refers to her 'plants' as the 'Clinton Ladies Intervention Team,' or 'C.L.I.T.'

And as you can see from Ms. Crowley's quote, C.L.I.T. has been quite busy all over the country creating as much mayhem as possible, even turning the last GOP Presidential debate into a Hillary-fest along with the help of the Clinton News Network (CNN).

Although there is absolutely no evidence at all to think so, one is led to wonder if the 'dangerous incident' regarding the deranged bomber who stormed the Clinton campaign office in New Hampshire with flares strapped to his chest was actually a set-up job, compliments of C.L.I.T.

After all, the man had no bomb, no firearms, and posed no real danger to anyone or himself. He was well-known to the local police department as a person who is off his rocker.

And Mrs. Clinton got TONS of free publicity on ALL of the networks and in ALL of the newspapers, just after suffering one of the worst weeks a candidate could have in a campaign.

How convenient.

I highly doubt that the bomb scare was anything but a news story about a sick man who wanted some attention. But the thing is, the American people have come to expect the worst from both Bill and Hillary when it comes to these matters. It certainly would be very 'Clintonesque.'

Come on, now. Try to convince me that you did not, at least once, have the fleeting thought during the 'hostage crisis' that the Clinton machine staged the whole thing.

In the highly unlikely event that the thing was staged in order to evoke sympathy for the candidate after several weeks of very bad news, it certainly did not work if Iowa is any indication.

Hillary was booed when she phoned in to a political rally in Iowa today. The weather prevented her appearance, but she called in to take questions from the crowd. Immediately the attendees peppered the candidate with questions about illegal aliens and the so-called 'path to citizenship.'

When Mrs. Clinton answered that she has always supported such a path for illegal aliens, she was booed. The moderator thus asked the question a second time, whereupon the candidate further alienated Iowans with her intention to attempt to accomplish this with the help of a Democratic Congress in her first 100 days in office.

More boos ensued.

When the moderator wished Mrs. Clinton well in the aftermath of the 'hostage crisis,' Clinton hung up the phone to very loud boos.

So much for creating sympathy. I suppose that now it's time to put C.L.I.T. back into action.

I'm sure we can expect them at each event featuring her opponents, perhaps posing as religious conservative housewives asking Mitt Romney if he would commit to placing at least one lesbian on his Cabinet if elected.
