Do you really think Condi is electable?

They will tell the right wing that she is wink-wink nudge-nudge a strict conversationalist or whatever their secret code word is these days. They will accuse anyone else of being either racist or sexist if they attack her, and they will still have Deibolt machines in place for any competative states.

Taro, who seems to have some sick domimatrix thing with Condi

"Sick dominomatrix thing...".
Why sick?

I thought you liberals love all kind of variations and are oh so progressive and tolerant!

Or is it because of Condi?
Like it would be fully acceptable if I had some dominomatrix thing with Hillary? LOL

Run Condi for office in a 2 chicks race and watch Hillary losing all them dem black votes!

Re: I mean, maybe America IS ready for a woman President, but are we ready for a life-long virgin woman President who seems to regard the chimp as her "husband" that doesn't bone her? The religious right wackos (and Taro, who seems to have some sick domimatrix thing with Condi) might go for it, but who else would?
Do we really want a old-maid scold for President?


Well... If Tom Kratman's political thriller is any guide, you just ain't seen nothin' yet! (Actually I read Kratman's novel --not great literature but I liked the plotline...)

Washington, DC

"Willi! Willi! Willi! WILLI!"

The sound grew. Louder and louder the crowd chanted as their goddess ascended the stage to the podium. The chant's force caused dust to spring up from little unseen corners of the auditorium. It assaulted the ears. It overwhelmed the senses. It made the internal organs ripple in a way that was unpleasant to anyone not a devotee of politics.

To Ms. Wilhelmina Rottemeyer, President-Elect of the United States of America, the sound was orgasm. Never in her life had a thrusting man entering her body given her such a glorious feeling. To be honest, never in her life had a man made her feel anything but weight, that and—not infrequently—disgust. Her ex-husband had mostly made her feel disgust.

Reaching the podium, Rottemeyer surveyed the rainbow sea of devoted, ecstatic faces before her. She locked eyes with her lover, her true lover, retired—and soon to be recalled and promoted—Army Lieutenant General Caroline McReavy. McReavy smiled warmly. Another small shudder of orgasm swept Rottemeyer's body, though it failed to reach her face.

Lifting both arms up and outward, palms down, Rottemeyer made gentle patting motions. Gradually the sound ebbed. WILLI! Willi! Willi! Willi.

She began to speak. "My people. My people. I have just received a telephone call from the President. He concedes the electio—"

Louder even than before, the crowd broke out in a mindless animal shriek of fury and victory. Windows vibrated, threatening to shatter. Rottemeyer vibrated too as she closed her eyes and smiled a sort of Mona Lisa smile, another little orgasm well hidden.

Eyes opened again. The smile grew wider. It grew divine. All gazed—glassy-eyed, slack-jawed—worshipping with hearts full to bursting.

"The way was hard. They" (everyone knew that by "they" Rottemeyer meant the Republicans, the religious right, the antichoice fanatics, the prosperous . . . the people who disagreed with her, in other words) "fought us long and hard trying to steal this election. They tried every low, dirty, sneaky, legalistic trick in the book," said W. Rottemeyer . . . Esquire.

"They even murdered the man who should have been standing here today." Or at least we made it look that way, thought W. Rottemeyer, murderess.

"Anything but accept the will of the People!"

The People howled their outrage and their triumph until quelled again by their leader's gentle pats.

"But now the will of the People is made clear to all. Not only do we control the presidency, but with the switchovers and gains in both the House and Senate we control the legislature. With that, we will control the Supreme Court."

"From this day forward the past is swept away. No longer will we tolerate oppression. No more will we accept second place. Never again will the rich oppress the poor. In the new, glorious future we will bring dead white men will finally lose their throttle on progress! My people, the great day is here!"
