Clinton Bests Bush on "1984" Doublespeak
by john adkisson

Definition of Doublespeak:

(1) Obama not ready for President but would be ready in a heartbeat;
(2) in January–"it's all about delegates"; in March, "it's all about big states";
(3) in November "I'll follow the rules and Florida & Michigan won't count"; now "we should seat the delegates as is";
(4) "you're another Ken Starr"; "fire that woman who called me a monster";
(5) "answer more questions about Rezco", "no, you can't see my tax returns, or the contributions to the presidential library";
(6) "I have 35 years experience," but "no you can't examine my record as first lady,"
(7) "I am treated unfairly as a woman by the media," and "you only win because you are black and you are not Muslim 'as far as I know'."

The most egregious example is that while she loses over and over again, and even in Texas and Nevada loses delegates -- she has been permitted to "define" success as winning Ohio and Pennsylvania. How do you figure?

The definition of what "is" is –remains situational. We thought we had seen the last of 1984 in 2001. If we elect Clinton in 2008, she will make Bush look, well, Bush-league
