The real scandal of Hillary Clinton's email account

When She Whose Name Is Not Spoken (The Hildebeast, Hillary Clinton) was Secretary of State, she was supposed to only use a government email account, and nothing but a government email account.  You know, hackers, spies, terrorists, and the like could possibly hack into her Hildebeast@aol.com emails without anyone being the wiser.
 
Instead, Hillary used a private account.

She was not about to let investigators, oversight committees, or even historians have a look at what she's doing for foreign governments to generate money for the Clinton Foundation (and the $$$'s came rolling in, BTW.)

This is supposed to be a scandal.

But let's look at this from the point of view of a Martian, or someone who has been living under a rock for the last 30 years.  Or just because it would be a new experience, let's really think about this thing....

This is the person who was involved in:

*Whitewater
*Travelgate
*Filegate
*Chinagate
*Vince Foster dying for her sins
*Benghazi
*The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy (LOL)
and....
*The Great Cattle Futures Scandal

All of which prompted the late great William Safire to solemnly intone that "Americans of all political persuasions are coming to the sad realization that our First Lady -- a woman of undoubted talents who was a role model for many in her generation -- is a congenital liar.

This was in the New York Holy Times, BTW.  

So should this email thing be viewed as a legit scandal, or not?  
I say no.  
The scandal is that Barack Obama wanted to give this lying twit a government email account.  

By this standard, I've spent 3 million dollars at Amazon.com

I like to go to Amazon, EBay, and other sites and fill my shopping cart with things that would be great to own. 
I rarely pull the trigger on a purchase. 
I have a somewhat addictive personality and if I ever start bringing stuff into the house from the intertubes I'll go broke.  Quickly. 

It looks like Obamacare shoppers do the same thing.  They make it through the website hurdles and find a policy that, if purchased, will keep them from being fined by the IRS.  They put it in their online shopping cart. 

And then they go to Amazon, Ebay, Craigslist, and Big Mama's House O' Midget Lesbian Porn and do the same thing without ever finalizing any sales. 

Here's Allahpundit:

 Obamacare administrators are counting people who've browsed the website and placed a plan in their virtual shopping cart -- but who never finished the process by checking out -- as "enrolled." That's a bogus metric. 

So what percentage of people have actually paid money to a real live Obama partner in this scam insurance company?

“There is also a lot of worrying going on over people making payments,” industry consultant Robert Laszewski wrote in an email. “One client reports only 15% have paid so far. It is still too early to know for sure what this means but we should expect some enrollment slippage come the payment due date.” Another consultant Kip Piper, agreed. “So far I’m hearing from health plans that around 5% and 10% of consumers who have made it through the data transfer gauntlet have paid first month’s premium and therefore truly enrolled,” he wrote me. “It naturally varies by insurer and will hopefully increase as we get close to end of December and documents flow in the mail,” added Piper, a former official at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. “But overall I’m hearing it’s a small portion so far. And that, of course, is a fraction of an already comparatively small number of people who have made it through setting up an account, getting verified, subsidy eligibility determined, plan selected, complete and correct data transferred to the insurer, and insurer set out the confirmation with invoice for consumer’s share of the first month’s premium.”

Let's assume that getting an account set up and throwing a plan into your online shopping cart has been easy.  (It hasn't.) 
Let's assume that effectively transferring your choice and your money (safely) to the corporate cronies insurance companies will be the hard part.  (It is.) 

Since the website has been a disaster, unfortunate people are going to be showing up at hospitals with nothing but a website I.D. number. The insurance companies will have no record of them.  The patient will say "Hey, I paid.  I signed up."  Some will be lying, of course.  Sometimes the insurance companies will lie. 

But this thing is so screwed up, it's going to take decades, and squadrons of lawyers, and billions of dollars to sort it out. 

This man could f*** up a two-car funeral.  (If you are in Britain, please translate that to mean "this man couldn't organize a piss-up in a brewery".) 

 

Does anyone know anything at all about the new proposed budget?

Something has happened in the U.S. House Of Representatives but I have no idea what it is.  Most commentators are acting as if the lion has gotten cozy with the lamb.  I haven't seen anything like it since Jimmy Carter got Begin and Sadat to hang out at Camp David for a few weekends. 

It has something to do with the House agreeing on a possible budget deal, but no one is mentioning the most important thing about a budget.  If you read this within a couple of days after December 12th, check out Memeorandum for some typical articles.  None of them will tell you the most important thing about the budget. 

I'm afraid that people are going to start "reaching across the aisle" and "getting something done". 

"Tea Party groups have been marginalized."  That phrase is showing up a lot. 

Nancy Pelosi has said that they should "embrace the suck".  Whatever that means.  Something about restoring $20 billion in defense cuts.  As if we need more defending. 

The New York Holy Times has no important details about the proposed budget. 

CNN has no details.  But economic conservatives have experienced "diminished influence".   

Everyone in the mainstream media is typing their asses off about this budget, but no one has written the most important thing. 

How much further are they going to put you in debt? 

All the rest is noise....

 

Why We Fight !!!

Many are wondering why we would consider going to war in Syria. 
Ok, it won't be a declared war, so let's take it down a notch. 
Many are wondering why we would do a limited police action in Syria. 
Ok, it won't be a limited police action.  There will be no "boots on the ground", so let's take it down a notch. 
Many are wondering why we would spend money and risk aviators by bombing Assad's people in Syria. 
Ok, we don't have a freakin' clue who we'll be bombing.  We're America, dammit, and we won't stand idly by while Assad's people execute their POW's. 

Oh.  Wait a minute.  The rebels are executing the POW's.

Well....we've spent a lot of money re-stocking our war arsenal, and there's no money in just letting the stuff sit there.  Economies are based on consumption. 

I once believed that we should get involved in Iraq because Saddam gassed 90,000 Kurds. 
I was wrong. 
Perhaps there should be some sort of humanitarian intervention, but it shouldn't come from us. 
We just aren't very good at it.
