After spending all primary season complaining about what a policy lightweight Barack Obama was, now a whole pack of bigwig Clinton advisors have joined the Obama team. The gal with the robot rash on her forehead will proffer advice on the Middle East, while Madeleine Albright will lurk angrily in the background when Obama gives speeches. This is all a perfectly normal part of the political process wherein the winner slowly metabolizes the loser, leaving only a dry loser-shaped husk behind for its grieving relatives to worship.

INEVITABILITIES
How appropriate, since Seven of Nine is responsible for Obama becoming President in the first place.

I think the loser, in this case, is slowly eating the winner.
“Mr. Feinstein was a regular on Clinton conference calls that mocked Mr. Obama’s policies as ‘just words.’”
Feinstein added: “In contrast, Hillary Clinton’s policies involve intricate tantric sex practices. That’s change you can believe in!”
you’ll be able to recognize the loser-shaped husk…
surrounded by bitters and wearing a pantsuit.
precisely what is wrong with this political system. same shit, different smell
I don’t mind that robot rash thing. I’d do her.
We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.
Barry could probably make that sound very sweet and changey.
kudzu: jeez…there’s one in every crowd…
but usually it’s me.
Sara K. Smith,
You say: “This is all a perfectly normal part of the political process”…thank God! I was starting to wonder how the Clintons could know so many disloyal people or, maybe, simply greedy people. From here, it just looked like Sen. Obama might be a little bit petty and cruel. A special standout is Patti Solis Doyle’s role as the future VP’s Chief of Staff. (The woman spent $100 million on snow shovels!)
I wonder if it was Madeleine Albright’s idea to spice-up that Bosnia story? If it was, the “new” version was simply riveting.
Sincerely and respectfully,
Mr-Clark
There isn’t a Red America and a Blue America there is ONE HIVE MIND.
Is this the deal they cut? She backs out and he hires her friends?
Poor 7 of 9 and that perverted Republican ex husband of hers..
I actually think a picture of Loqutus(sp?) would be more appropriate here.
Tweaker McAuliffe said it’s “one big happy love-fest”
and if that used car salesman says so, then I’m buying
I’m confused…if Clinton’s campaign so revered the impoverished and unemployed, why are her staffers unwilling to join the ranks of the former factory workers they so admire?
do you suggest that her strategists courted blue collar workers (providing them a reason to vote against their best interests so they didn’t have to say “race is an issue” themselves) when in actuality her campaign was composed of Ivy League-educated opportunists who know nothing about Pittsburgh steel workers other than, a long time ago, someone promised “one man, one vote”?
were they merely “slummin’ it” until the whole charade got to real?
choinski: Excellent recall! Seven of Nine deserves, at least, an ambassadorship or her own star ship should Barry win.
kudzu: Sure, but think of the poor robot who is missing some vital pubic area components. Those gadgets didn’t just grow there you know.
I for one welcome being assimilated into the Obama entity.
…since anything I post about “7 of 9″ will be extremely NSFW I will post something simple: I would hit that(x5)!
Change! Yeah, baby!
As long as he doesn’t take their advice and start endorsing FISA and faith-based initiatives. What? Crap.
Resistance is possible.
scotterl: If she’s proffering advice on the Middle East, maybe that will qualify her for a cabinet post. Secretary of State Jeri Ryan has a nice ring to it. Who could possibly resist 7 of 9’s diplomatic efforts?
SayItWithWookies: Southern Baptists, Wiccans and devil worshippers are now lining up for their Obama dollars. Fight The Power!
Does he get Huma too?
kudzu: Isn’t she kind of uptight? Isn’t that why she filed for divorce?
The Real JR Revisted: Locutus.
Humble Pi: YES.
We should have more Borg tags and references. Perhaps even an article on Sweden.
Great. Hillz’ advisers worked out OH SO VERY WELL for her, why doesn’t Barry bring them on for some more epic-fail?
With all these lukewarm bodies transferring to Obama’s camp, will this help absorb any of Hillary’s debt-load? Do the balances transfer, like a credit card? Or is this a stock swap, where Obama owns a piece of Hillary in trade for her IP?
If 7 of 9 gets something out of this, then Alan Keyes deserves some credit too.
I actually had to check wiki to see if that really happened or if the whole Obama vs. Keyes race was just some pleasantly hilarious daydream I once had.
slavojzizek: Yeah, he wanted to watch her get schtupped at swingers club. Like there’s something wrong with that??
Pfff. Bitch.
Godless Liberal *: Tenderizer would definitely be called for, I think.
shortsshortsshorts: Don’t worry, Bill Clinton will sign up to doom Barry’s prospects irrevocably.
SayItWithWookies: To be fair, he’s talked about reaching out to the religious community forever, and he praised the idea of faith-based initiatives in “Audacity of Hope”. In fact, all three of the big Dem candidates endorsed those programs.
Just sayin’
