And you, ma’am, are no Margaret Thatcher:
HILLARY CLINTON is to be presented as America’s Margaret Thatcher as she tries to become the first woman to win the White House. As she entered the 2008 presidential race yesterday, a senior adviser said that her campaign would emphasise security, defence and personal strengths reminiscent of the Iron Lady.
And so begins the rebranding of Hillary Clinton… in fine “high concept” style.
Too bad that Mme. Clinton will suffer from the comparison… even if Lady Thatcher doesn’t take exception to the comparison.
There will be other comparisons made…
The Clinton campaign intends to paint the Republican nominee as President George W Bush’s political heir, particularly over the war in Iraq. “George Bush is going to be on the ticket whether they like it or not,” McAuliffe added.
And Bill Clinton won’t be? Chinese satellite busting alone should suffice.
This morning’s “comedy” comes to us by way of George Moneo. Tip of the clipboard to you!

One wonders if the rebranding will work in the age of the internet. Bill got away with changing his stories constantly because there were few with a pulpit to speak up and point it out. He had the MSM in his pocket.
Hillary is going to try the usual tactic of changing the story of what she “stands for”, I just hope that the internet and its long memory and the ability to shed light on garbage is enough to defeat her.
But it will also take a very good Republican candidate.
