Please Allah, Let There Be No Clinton-Palin ‘Cat Fight’ Stories Ever

by Jim Newell  

Did anyone else know that Howard Wolfson has a blog on The New Republic now? No, not his elitist indie rock one, but an actual politics blog that is comically titled “The Flack,” where he mostly answers arbitrary questions about Hillary Clinton. And he says that Clinton will not start a “cat fight” with Palin. Thank God, because no one wants to go through an electoral distraction of THAT kind of world-historical magnitude. Can you even imagine how many 52-year-old male D.C. pundits have the first parts of their “Battle of the Bitches” narratives typed up and ready to go, just sittin’ in Microsoft Word, waiting for the first vague Clinton line about Palin at a rally to set the predetermined cycle in motion?

I’m sure Hillary wouldn’t start a cat fight, but I bet she’d finish it.

I wonder how hard it is to give someone a sled dog enema?

Must. Fight. Urge. Not. Clicking. Link.

I’d fucking pay to see a Hillary Palin debate. And we may yet… in 2012… if Barry loses and God strikes down John McCain for not loving unborn babies enough.

Hart88 September 8, 2008 at 2:00 pm

pffft. Hillary isn’t going to do shit about Palin because she wants to preserve her standing among the bitters for ’12 or ’16. Short of someone literally holding a gun to her head, Hillary won’t be doing any dirty work.

Great, now I’ll look forward on Friday to the Comics Curmudgeon’s analysis of all the “cartoon fights” – the nondescript cloud with glasses, cankles, exclamation points, beehives, lightening bolts, and shreds of pantsuits all along its perimeter.

You actually just described Maureen Dowd’s column yesterday, I kid you not.

“Godzilla VS Mothra”

Geez, I thought this was about the issues.

Monkey September 8, 2008 at 2:06 pm

I think we should pit Chelsea against Bristol and her unborn baby. This would also be a good chance for Bill to advise Sarah on the best places in the White House to sneak a quickie behind Todd’s back.

AmericanValues September 8, 2008 at 2:07 pm

[re=88659]tiny mexican[/re]: I was thinking exactly the same thing. MoDo wrote another one of her “in character” prognostications about the ‘Battle of the Bitches’ in 2012.

I hope they fight in cole slaw.

AngryBlakGuy September 8, 2008 at 2:09 pm

…I actually think a Hillary, Palin cat-fight would have a positive affect. After praising Clinton and her “18 million cracks” it is difficult for Palin to pivot and now attack or even defend herself from Hillary. It also passes the job of knee capping Palin to someone who doesn’t need to handle her with white gloves.

Just give Hillz a switchblade and 15 minutes alone with Caribou Barbie. That’s all I want for Christmas.

Makeithurt September 8, 2008 at 2:12 pm

OK, I understand but Christ, will someone please just take that odious twat
of a barracuda O U T !!!! If Obama and Biden pull a mealey mouthed Kerry on us I am going to slitmy goddamned wrists.

McCain chose Palin using instant messenger? Funny parody I found:

DING DING DING. We Have Ourselves a Winner!

Even for MoDo, that column was fucking brilliant in its vapidity.

Just like the great Seinfeld “catfight” episode.

Peterman: “Ruff.”
Elaine: (with a disgusted look on her face) “You mean ‘rear’?”

Miller September 8, 2008 at 2:28 pm

Of course there will be no cat fight. You ever try to get blood and mooseburger out of a tangerine pantsuit?

[re=88649]Hart88[/re]: I’m afraid you’re right and HOPE you’re wrong. Where’s my gun? If Hillz won’t take this on, then we’d better see some of those other vetted women getting into the mix: where’s Sebelius? Hell–I’d like to see Michelle defending her man–she’d rip the walrus a new one.

Larry Fine September 8, 2008 at 2:34 pm

Last week, someone here said that Palin looks like Peggy Hill. Let me belatedly agree with that observation.

Mo MoDo September 8, 2008 at 3:16 pm

[re=88659]tiny mexican[/re]: Dowd must have started writing it once the Palin nomination got announced. We do now know definitively that she favors Clinton over Palin. Which doesn’t say much for either.

Aurelio September 8, 2008 at 3:35 pm

I wanna see Hillary and Sarah wrestle on Ultimate Surrender. The winner gets to fuck the loser with a strap-on. Now that’s entertainment, snowbilly style!

Gopherit v2.0 September 8, 2008 at 3:54 pm

[re=88888]Aurelio[/re]: Isn’t that the way Hillary ends most of her debates that she wins?

Jingo September 8, 2008 at 4:06 pm

Pundits aren’t the only ones hoping for a Bitch Battle. Bill Clinton purchased some bikinis, an inflatable kiddie pool and 25 gallons of baby oil for just such an event. Unfortunately, Britol’s fake pregnancy killed the idea of it being a tag team match to include her and Chelsea.

YellowSnow September 8, 2008 at 6:25 pm

whoa whoa whoa, you mean they are women? I thought hillz at least was a womyn
