This article by Ani at No Quarter is a few days old, but I thought it was well worth posting. She calls out the talking heads who slammed Hillary at every opportunity in 2008, but who now,are looking to her to save O's a$$.
Go Ani. I'm sure you speak for many of us
Hillary to the Rescue? Again?
By Ani
Can you hear it in the wind?
Suddenly, this is the word on everyone’s lips — Hillary!
Sally Quinn of WaPo, the grande dame of all that is socially correct, who called Hillary ‘a tortured person who doesn’t know what she wants,’ who accused her of all manner of evil over the years, now wants Hillary and Biden to change places. Quinn says “Hillary Clinton should be Obama’s vice president” and opines…
She is cheerful, thoughtful, serious and diligent. There are no horror stories about her coming out of the State Department. Most notable, though, is that Bill Clinton has not been the problem that so many anticipated. He has been supportive of her and of Obama, and he has stayed out of the limelight and been discreet about his own life.
In short, the arguments against Hillary Clinton being Obama’s vice president have pretty much evaporated.
So Ms. Quinn thinks that she is cheerful — like a puppy, who will be happy to be of service yet again and hold the incompetent in chief up — helping him to win a second term. Once again — they want Mommy to save him. It’s so tiresome, it almost doesn’t deserve comment. Peggy Noonan is talking about all eyes turning to Hillary for President in 2012 and Dems admitting they made a mistake and that Hillary would have been better. No kidding. Leslie Gelb is talking about her taking over SecDef. All are teeing her up for 2016 — after spending the last years raining down all manner of insults on her head.
They just can’t admit she should have had the top job all along. They keep figuring out ways to “use her” to save the Emperor. I’m so glad all these people have figured out what Hillary’s career path ought to be. How generous!
The BP disaster woke up a lot of people, I guess.
