I'm not going to rehash the questionable content of the recording, Karl and Paper have done that that already. But I'm going to reiterate something that Albrecht initially pointed out: Hillary's accent changes. My Senator, Claire McCaskill does the same, she pronounces the state "Missouri" when she's here and speaking like us, and then says "Missourah" when she wants to look folky, down to earth and "Heartlandish" to the east and west coasters. Let me dispel a myth, no one here fucking says "Missourah". It has an I at the end, English language folks, pronounce it as an I. Look, I write fiction and you present accents to create a character for a narrative to play into pop-cultural misconceptions and lead people along and ensnare them in your narrative. It doesn't matter if the narrative is a novel or a political campaign, what matters is that how you speak or write influences people. For me it's to try to make the words jump from the page and create a page turner, but in politics it's to try to get people to vote for you based on how your words come across. Fuck that, it's still fiction and an attempt to lead you along.
Hillary's a sleazy fucking lawyer looking for power. That's it. And how sleazy money grubbing lawyers turned politicians present themselves is absolutely meaningless in the big picture. They're simply ambitious sleaze. The Democrats need to quit falling for this shit. Question these fucking people until you're blue in the face. Don't fall for the narratives; question. You're all failing badly at that. In the GOP, we aren't. Karl questions, Albrecht questions, Paper questions, I question, we all question, and you silly fucking Dems don't. Quit it already, will ya?
